About Playlist
Leonard Cohen transcended categorization throughout his career. Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, in an Orthodox Jewish family, he studied at McGill University, where he published his first poems. Cohen would continue to write poetry to critical acclaim (as well as fiction), but the lack of financial success prompted a move to the States to seek out a career as a singer songwriter. He released his debut, the intimate Songs of Leonard Cohen, featuring iconic tracks "Suzanne" and "So Long Marianne" in 1967, at the age of 34.
While never a household name, Cohen explored universal themes—dexterously (and sometimes clumsily) making his way through faith, sexuality, and mortality. Combined with an enigmatic aura, Cohen inspired and influenced writers and musicians throughout his 50 year career. Perhaps this is best exemplified by his most well-known song, "Hallelujah," which has been covered more than 300 times, used in countless tv shows and movies during peak emotions sequences, and often misattributed to other singers.
Cohen died on November 10, 2016, three weeks after the release of his penultimate album, You Want it Darker, written while in declining health with limited mobility. His final album, the posthumous Thanks for the Dance, was released in November 2019, its songs produced by his son Adam Cohen using vocal tracks from Darker’s sessions.
