Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas La version sur Le vinyle LP/CD en Norme édition. Cette édition particulière a été publiée en L'Europe dans la maison d'édition Columbia Le 31 janvier 2012.

The ten new songs on this eagerly awaited album are surely the highlight of this influential singer, songwriter and writer's work. Although "Old Ideas" only began recording in January 2011, Cohen has been working on the songs and lyrics for several years. Two of the tracks, "The Darkness" and "Lullaby," were recorded in 2007 and early versions were performed as part of the recently completed sold-out world tour. The 77-year-old Canadian had already hinted at what fans could expect from the new album at this year's Prince of Asturias awards in Oviedo in October. Here, Leonard Cohen received Spain's highest literary award. "As I grew up, I understood that with this voice comes instructions. And those instructions are... Never just whine. But if one needs to express the great, inevitable defeat that awaits us all one day, one should always do so within the strict rules of dignity and beauty." The album was produced by Patrick Leonard, Anjani Thomas, Ed Sanders and Dino Soldo. Cohen is accompanied by notable singers such as Dana Glover, Sharon Robinson, the Webb Sisters and Jennifer Warnes. (leonardcohen.com) Review: , "Another mature effort by a part-time monk, lover and sensory seeker - this time without the weaknesses." (Rolling Stone, February 2012) , "Still beautiful: his raucous rhythm'n'blues and folk sound more organic and warm on ,,Old Ideas" than they have in recent memory." (Rolling Stone, February 2013) (Stereoplay, March 2012) "Cohen punctuates his spare musings with organ and gospel choirs in the background, saxophone and the sex appeal of his raspy, raspy voice. (Audio, March 2012) , "After recent studio recordings, ,,0ld ldeas" is a welcome departure from earlier form - with tour-proven ,,Darkness" and ,,Lullaby" not the only highlights." (Stereo, April 2012) "No one can whisper as beautifully as Leonard Cohen." (musikexpress, April 2012)
