“Leonard Cohen, 'The Future.' A classic Cohen record. It's not like the classical guitar Cohen. It's the MIDI keyboard and drum machine Cohen era.”Watch this moment
The Future
Leonard Cohen
The Future is the ninth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 1992. Almost an hour in length, it was Cohen's longest album up to that date. Both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1992 Los Angeles riots took place while Cohen was writing and recording the album, which expressed his sense of the world's turbulence.
