The legendary Leonard Cohen will mark his 80th birthday with the release of another solo album.

On September 22nd – the day after Cohen’s birthday – ‘Popular Problems‘ will be out, complete with songs recorded and produced along side Patrick Leonard. Lead track ‘Almost Like The Blues’ is below, as is the full tracklist.

This follows 2012’s ‘Old Ideas‘, of which Live4ever’s review remarked: “The notion of this record, music for the morning after, could’ve been realised. It wasn’t beyond the grasp of Leonard Cohen to make a truly sublime record, something that wouldn’t seem out of place standing in for that King Curtis record Paul McGann sticks on in the opening moments of Withnail & I to help him come to terms with it being daylight again.”

‘Popular Problems’ tracklist:

‘Slow’
‘Almost Like The Blues’
‘Samson In New Orleans’
‘A Street’
‘Did I Ever Love You?’
‘My Oh My’
‘Nevermind’
‘Born In Chains’
‘You Got Me Singing’
