Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Ten New Songs' marks Leonard Cohen's return after nearly a decade, featuring a subdued, incredibly mellow sophisti-pop sound. Driven heavily by Sharon Robinson's synthesizers and backing vocals, Cohen's lethargic, poetic baritone reflects on aging and somber intimacy.
