Celebrate the life of iconic Canadian Leonard Cohen with this framed enlargement of three stamps honouring the acclaimed writer and musician. Only 1,000 of these ready-to-hang collectibles are available for sale.

The enlarged stamps are the three PermanentTM domestic stamps from this issue. Each features a photograph of Cohen from a different stage of his illustrious career as a poet, novelist and internationally renowned singer-songwriter.

Born in Montréal in 1934, Cohen was an award-winning poet during his days at McGill University. More poetry and two novels followed after he graduated, including Beautiful Losers in 1966. The following year, Cohen launched a new career in music with an appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and the release of his debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen. In 1984, Cohen released the album Various Positions. It features “Hallelujah,” his most popular and most covered song.

A member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Cohen has also been honoured with multiple JUNO awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Cohen died in 2016 at the age of 82, one month after releasing his final album, You Want It Darker. The album’s title track would go on to win the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance.

KW-38-2019: #breaking_news: Neues posthumes Album von Leonard Cohen angekündigt: #THANKS_FOR_THE_DANCE. New Leonard Cohen-Album out ; 22 of novembre 2019

„The Goal“ ist Leonard Cohens musikalischer Nachlass. Es ist der erste Vorabsong aus dem Album „Thanks For The Dance”, das am 22. November erscheint. Der Longplayer ist kein Gedenk-Album mit B-Seiten und Outtakes, er beschert uns unerwartet neun neue Songs, die spannend und vital sind – eine Fortsetzung von Cohens letzter Arbeit.

Leonard Cohen war ein meisterhafter Songwriter, ein unnachahmlicher Musiker und Poet. In seiner über sechs Dekaden andauernden Karriere berührte sein Schaffen das Leben von Millionen – und tut dies bis heute. Mit über 23 Millionen Alben weltweit hatte er einen immensen Einfluss auf die musikalische Nachwelt, der nun posthum nachhallt. „Thanks For The Dance“ enthält Aufnahmen, die aus der Zeit vor Leonard Cohens Tod im November 2016 stammen und nun zur Veröffentlichung kommen. Sieben Monate nach dem Tod seines Vaters zog sich Adam Cohen in eine umgebaute Garage in seinem Hinterhof in der Nähe von Leonards Haus zurück, um wieder mit seinem Vater zusammenzuarbeiten und in Gesellschaft seiner Stimme zu sein. Von ihrer vorherigen Zusammenarbeit bei „You Want It Darker“ blieben einige musikalische Skizzen übrig, oftmals nur Gesang. Leonard hatte seinen Sohn gebeten, diese Arbeiten zum Abschluss zu bringen.

DIE PRESSEMITTEILUNG:

Leonard Cohen war ein meisterhafter Songwriter, ein unnachahmlicher Musiker und Poet. In seiner über sechs Dekaden andauernden Karriere berührte sein Schaffen das Leben von Millionen – und tut dies bis heute. Mit über 23 Millionen Alben weltweit hatte Cohen einen immensen Einfluss auf die musikalische Nachwelt, der nun posthum nachhallt. Am 20. September wird mit dem Track „The Goal“ Cohens musikalischer Nachlass angekündigt – es ist die erste Vorabmusik aus dem brandneuen Album „Thanks For The Dance“, das am 22. November erscheint.

Der Longplayer enthält Aufnahmen, die aus der Zeit vor Leonard Cohens Tod im November 2016 stammen und nun zur Veröffentlichung kommen. Sieben Monate nach dem Tod seines Vaters zog sich Adam Cohen in eine umgebaute Garage in seinem Hinterhof in der Nähe von Leonards Haus zurück, um wieder mit seinem Vater zusammenzuarbeiten und in Gesellschaft seiner Stimme zu sein. Von ihrer vorherigen Zusammenarbeit bei „You Want It Darker“ blieben einige musikalische Skizzen übrig, oftmals nur Gesang. Leonard hatte seinen Sohn gebeten, diese Arbeiten zum Abschluss zu bringen.

Das bemerkenswerte neue Album entstand an einer Vielzahl von Orten. Javier Mas, der große spanische Laudist, der Leonard während seiner achtjährigen Tournee auf der Bühne begleitet hatte, flog von Barcelona nach Los Angeles, um den Geist des Künstlers auf Leonards eigener Gitarre einzufangen. In Berlin lud Adam bei der Musikveranstaltung „People Festival“ einige Freunde und Mitstreiter ein, an dem Album mitzuwirken. Damien Rice und Leslie Feist sangen. Richard Reed Parry von Arcade Fire spielte Bass. Bryce Dessner von The National spielte Gitarre, Komponist Dustin O’Halloran ist am Klavier zu hören. Der Berliner Chor Cantus Domus sang und das S t a r g a z e Orchester spielte. In Montreal schaute der berühmte Produzent Daniel Lanois bei den Sessions vorbei und steuerte auf wunderbare Weise seine spärlichen Arrangements bei. Der Shaar Hashomayim-Chor, der einen so wichtigen Teil der Entstehung des Sounds des letzten Albums spielte, trug zu einem Song bei, und Patrick Watson brachte sein unnachahmliches Talent als Koproduzent in einen Song ein. Zurück in Los Angeles sang Jennifer Warnes, eine der Hüterinnen von Leonards kreativer Flamme, Background Vocals, Beck spielte Gitarre und Maultrommel. Michael Chaves, der das Album „You Want It Darker“ so elegant aufgenommen und abgemischt hatte, übernahm das Engineering und Abmischen.

„The Goal“ lässt einen dabei erstmalig eintauchen in das angekündigte Album, bei dem es sich also wahrhaft um eine Verlängerung des Schaffens eines großen, unvergessenen Leonard Cohen handelt.“

Leonard Cohen was a masterful songwriter, an inimitable musician and poet. In his six-decade career, his work touched the lives of millions – and continues to do so today. With more than 23 million albums worldwide Cohen had an immense influence on the musical posterity, which now echoes posthumously. On September 20, Cohen’s musical estate will be announced with the track „The Goal“ – the first pre-music from the brand-new album „Thanks For The Dance“, which will be released on November 22nd.

The longplayer contains recordings from the time before Leonard Cohen’s death in November 2016 and are now being released. Seven months after his father’s death, Adam Cohen retired to a converted garage in his backyard near Leonard’s house to reunite with his father and be in the company of his voice. From her previous collaboration on „You Want It Darker“ remained some musical sketches, often just vocals. Leonard had asked his son to complete this work.

The remarkable new album was created in a variety of locations. Javier Mas, the great Spanish laudist who had accompanied Leonard on stage during his eight-year tour, flew from Barcelona to Los Angeles to capture the artist’s spirit on Leonard’s own guitar. In Berlin invited Adam at the music event „People Festival“ some friends and fellow campaigners to participate in the album. Damien Rice and Leslie Feist sang. Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire played bass. Bryce Dessner from The National played the guitar, composer Dustin O’Halloran can be heard on the piano. The Berlin choir Cantus Domus sang and the S t a r g a z e orchestra played. In Montreal, the famous producer Daniel Lanois stopped by the sessions and miraculously contributed to his sparse arrangements. The Shaar Hashomayim Choir, who played such an important part in creating the sound of the previous album, contributed to a song, and Patrick Watson brought his inimitable talent as a co-producer into a song. Back in Los Angeles, Jennifer Warnes, one of Leonard’s creative flame guardians, sang background vocals and Beck played guitar and Jew’s harp. Michael Chaves, who had so elegantly recorded and mixed the album „You Want It Darker“, did the engineering and mixing.

„The Goal“ lets you dive into the upcoming album for the first time, so it really is an extension of the work of a great, unforgotten Leonard Cohen. “
