Velvet voice with cantankerous root note

Pinpoint the 80th birthday of Leonard Cohen puts his CD "Popular front of the problem." The aging shines through in his voice: from the feline entirety earlier years of the chanting of the Canadian singer-songwriter created a broken scratchy grumpy root note, which further increases its suction force.

For me, Cohen produced anyway goosebumps.

The nine masterpieces of the melancholic, who fought all his life against depression, filigree and instrumeniert clean. They mourn the demise of a civilization, which lacks peace and thoughtfulness.

These contain the same as the first track ("Slow") a kind of profession of faith: "I liked it never fast, I like it slow and not just because I'm getting old, but because it has taught me my mom. The slowness is in my blood. "
