Listen to Leonard Cohen's new single, "Darkness"

by Nicole Villeneuve

In three weeks, Leonard Cohen will release his first studio album, Old Ideas, in seven years.

We’ve already had a preview when he released the beautiful “Show Me the Place” in November, and today we get to hear “Darkness,” a song that starts out sounding as such, with quietly plucked guitar, and goes on to incorporate a bluesy thump, complete with electric keys. And oh, Leonard.

You can listen to the song below.
