Our Take

Leonard Cohen, the octogenarian poet laureate of heartbreak and introspection, continues his musical journey with the release of "Recent Songs". This album takes listeners on a nostalgic trip through the winding roads of Cohen's mind, filled with his trademark wry wit and haunting melodies.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "The Guests", a track that combines Cohen's gravelly vocals with intricate instrumentation to create a truly mesmerizing listening experience. As the album progresses, songs like "Humbled in Love" and "The Gypsy's Wife" showcase Cohen's ability to seamlessly blend folk, jazz, and traditional music influences into a cohesive whole.

But it's on tracks like "The Traitor" and "The Smokey Life" where Cohen truly shines. His poignant lyrics, delivered with his unmistakable world-weary charm, cut straight to the heart of the human experience. And let's not forget the haunting beauty of "The Ballad of the Absent Mare", a powerful meditation on loss and longing that will leave you in tears.

"Recent Songs" may not be Cohen's most well-known work, but it is certainly a gem in his illustrious discography. With its eclectic mix of musical styles and deeply introspective lyrics, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to dive into the poetic depths of Leonard Cohen's genius. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
