Popular Problems by Leonard Cohen
About the album Popular Problems
Popular Problems is Leonard Cohen's thirteenth album. The album was released in September 2014, while its recordings had started a year earlier. The release of the album coincided with the completion of Leonard Cohen's 80th year of life.
Popular Problems consists of nine songs dressed with folk pop and soft rock melodies. The songs are compositions by Cohen and the album's composer and producer Patrick Leonard. The majority of the songs are new compositions. The only exception is Born In Chains, whose roots go back to 1985. Leonard Cohen has the help of three ladies, Charlean Carmon, Dana Glover, and Donna De Lory, on backing vocals.
The album was a great success in Canada, where it sold 20,000 copies in its first week of release and went straight to No.1. In the USA, it reached No.15 on the Billboard.
