‘Old Ideas’ is the title of what will be Leonard Cohen’s first studio album in over eight years and his 12th album since 1967.
Leonard Cohen
Cohen started work on the record in January, 2011. He has been performing two of the songs, “The Darkness’ and ‘Lullaby’ on his recent tour.
“As I grew older, I understood that instructions came with this voice. And the instructions were these…Never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity & beauty,” he said in a statement.
The album by Leonard Cohen was produced with Patrick Leonard , Anjani Thomas , Ed Sanders and Dino Soldo . Complementing Cohen’s signature baritone on OLD IDEAS are the exceptional vocalists Dana Glover , Sharon Robinson , The Webb Sisters ( Hattie and Charley Webb ) and Jennifer Warnes. The album’s cover design and drawings are Cohen’s own.
