Free Music Notes for Ten New Songs
Free Music Review: A quiet celebration of a secret life
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I have been a devoted LC fan for many years, truth be told there is a lot of his music I don't listen to regularly. Not so with this CD. Ever since it came out, I have found Ten New Songs a constant and steadfast companion: It provides comfort in dark times, and a muted celebratory vibe for good, quiet times. While I was (like so many) put off by the production of this CD (recorded without a proper band and the use of a drum machine), I've decided that none of this matters at all or detracts from its wondrous beauty. As others have said, this CD contains almost uniformly great, great songwriting (except for "That Don't Make it Junk" which I have never been able to completely embrace). Moreover, colloborator Sharon Robinson's vocals are absolutely gorgeous throughout.
This CD reminds us that truly wonderful music is one of a kind, just like Leonard Cohen himself.
Listen, here, to the music of our collective secret life. I am thankful it exists, now more than ever.
Ten New Songs Poster
Where has Leonard Cohen been for the past nine years? The legendary songwriter's mostly been in a Zen monastery, it turns out, obsessively rewriting and polishing the oblique, lapidary lyrics for this austere collection. Ten New Songs is arguably Sharon Robinson's record as much as Cohen's--she cowrote all the songs, plays most of the instruments (primarily a synth that seems to have freshly emerged from a chintzy 1984 power ballad), and accompanies Cohen's gloomy croak with her own crooning. This is the most subdued album Cohen's ever made, which is saying something. It's as if he no longer has time for anything in music or performance that could alter the meaning and force of his words. --Douglas WolkFolk Music CDs
