]]> One of Leonard Cohen’s last requests from his son, Adam, is now being fulfilled as a new album of the late singer-songwriter is being announced. Thanks for the Dance is a collection of unheard material, left after the 2016 collaboration between father and son You Want It Darker. It is being described as “an unexpected harvest of new songs” and “a continuation of the master’s work.”

Cohen have asked his son to complete the work on the remaining sketches from their joint effort and Adam has begun working on the album shortly after his father’s death. He invited others to contribute. Some of the artist that rose to the occasion are Beck, The National’s Bryce Dessner, Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry, Damien Rice and Leslie Feist. Also included is Javier Mas, the Spanish laúd player who formed part of Cohen’s band for his last eight years of touring.

You can now listen to a new song from the album: The Goal.

But, there were some rare occasions when a cover version of a song managed to replace the original as an ultimate version. We admit this didn’t happen as often; but when it did, it was spectacular.
