I’m Your Man  by Leonard Cohen

And suddenly the Canadian Leonard Cohen returns to the spotlight thanks to I'm Your Man from 1988, an album with a peculiar sound – especially when compared to his early works. The major part of the production belongs to Cohen himself.

Songs filled with lyrical, yet harsh lyrics, running over music derived from drum machines and synthesizers. One of them was First We Take Manhattan, which had been introduced two years earlier with Jennifer Warnes' voice.

European countries responded significantly to the album, in the U.S. it became Leonard Cohen's most commercially successful record up to that point, and in his homeland, it sold 200,000 copies, as many as in Norway (!).
