About the album
Ten New Songs appeared nine years after Cohenβs last studio work, The Future . He spent these few years at a Zen monastery in the San Gabriel Mountains in the Los Angeles area . Meanwhile, Columbia Records released previously recorded material: Cohen Live: Leonard Cohen in Concert , More Best of Leonard Cohen and Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979 . Finally, having come out of solitude, Leonard set to work in a personal studio in Los Angeles and in 2001 the first digitally released album for the musician was released. The new texts are more peaceful than before, and the music is calmer, made mainly with the help of synthesizers and drum machines . The album was received ambiguously, in general, it repeated the success of I'm Your Man and The Future , which are similar in genre, however, one cannot help but notice how sharply it differs from Cohen's early folk works.
