Artist: Leonard Cohen

words and photos by Dominick Mastrangelo Leonard Cohen @ Radio City Music Hall 4/6/2013 On the first night of a two-night stand at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday (April 6), Leonard Cohen -- singer-songwriter, poet, living legend -- promised the sold-out audience that he and his band would give everything they had. And though it's a line he breaks out at nearly every show, over the course of the next [...]

Photos by G. Leonard Cohen On April 6, 2013, Leonard Cohen performed the first of two shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York.  To say his show is amazing is an understatement.  Some people treat Bob Dylan as their god of singer/songwriter/poetry, but my god is Leonard Cohen.  At age 78, Cohen is not only on a world tour for his latest album "Old Ideas," but his shows last for over 3 hours!  He went on stage approximately at 8:20 PM and ended just [...]

Montreal's Doldrums takes us through some of the songs that inspire him and his music with this mix he curated for our PMACAST. In our review , we noted that his recently released debut album, Lesser Evil was "hyperactive, unstable, and disorienting," but above all, it was surreally catchy, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see classicists like Leonard Cohen and The Beach Boys show up along size eardrum rupturing vanguards like Moon King and My Bloody Valentine show up in [...]

På mandag, den 8. april, er Boho Dancer klar med deres debutalbum, Gemini . Boho Dancer vandt i 2011 P3s Karrierekanon, og sidste år udsendte de den modige EP, Furry Skin , som tydeligt viste bandets store potentiale. Men nu er det så endelig blevet tid til et decideret album, og vi er stolte over helt eksklusivt at kunne præsentere to spritnye numre derfra; " Like Rain " og " Epicene ." På mange måder minder Boho Dancer om sig selv. Ida Wenøes vokal er stadig [...]

We've had the weekend to mull over Lana Del Rey's cover of "Chelsea Hotel No. 2," and our conclusion — like much of the internet — is that we can't quite believe we're saying this, but we really rather like it. It also got us thinking about how relatively few great covers of Cohen songs there have been by female artists. In a way, this makes sense — Cohen's songs are quintessentially male in their own lugubrious way. But still, we're always up for a challenge, so we've rounded up a selection of some of our other favorite female-fronted Cohen covers. [...]

Lana del Rey ha sido una constante desde el 2011 y hasta ahora, se ha caracterizado por ser talentosa en muchísimos ámbitos y se ha convertido en un símbolo de belleza total. Al parecer otro de sus fuertes es hacer covers, y éste en especial tiene un video. El artista que ella ha elegido es Leonard Cohen.

We love us some Lana and she does covers well. Check this video out and tell us what you think of these mesmerizing vocals. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: Lana Del Rey , Leonard Cohen , new , single

If you ever fancied Lana Del Rey covering one of Leonard Cohen's songs, all your wishes have come through with this new video. The loved and hated American singer covers Cohen's 1974 opus 'Chelsea Hotel No. 22 here below. Click here to view the embedded video.

Lana Del Rey has decided to film a cover of Leonard Cohen's ' Chelsea Hotel No 2 '. Lana's version stays close to the sparse original, but she gives it a cool delivery. The video isn't related to any upcoming project, apparently it's something she just fancied doing for the fans. The post Lana Del Rey covers Leonard Cohen's 'Chelsea Hotel No 22 appeared first on We Are Pop Slags .

Elle annonçait il y a peu, travailler sur de nouveaux projets, à entendre un nouvel album, c'est pourquoi on ne pensait plus avoir de ses nouvelles pendant un certain temps. Cependant aujourd'hui Lana Del Rey nous fait la surprise de reprendre le célèbre titre de Leonard Cohen , Chelsea's Hotel no2 sorti en 1974. Une réadaptation que l'on écoute tout en regardant cette belle vidéo qui nous plonge dans les 702s.

Almighty Prophet and Young, Dope and Proud American chanteuse Lana Del Rey has been (mostly) staying out of the spotlight in the first half of 2013, focusing on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Great Gatsby , as well as piecing together her upcoming "dark" sophomore album. (Already crying, no one is worthy, etc.) But out of nowhere, like the blessed, bad baby and Pepsi Cola-lovin' celestial being that she is, Queen Rey has gifted us with a stunning cover of "Chelsea Hotel No. 2," a song recorded in 1974 by Leonard [...]

In a new video, and for no discernible reason, Lana Del Rey has given us her take on Leonard Cohen's ridiculously great 1974 song (and possible Janis Joplin tribute " Chelsea Hotel No. 2 ." LDR has left all of Cohen's gendered pronouns intact, but it doesn't come across like a gender-fucking stunt; it's more a languid tribute to a song so perfect that nobody needed to do anything to change it. Musically, it's faithful to the original, just Del Rey's voice and a florid guitar line. And in the simple video, from director Ant Shurmer , she sings [...]

Lana del Rey , también conocida como el gran hype del verano del 2011, sigue dando que hablar después de haber publicado su primer disco de estudio, Born To Die , a principios de 2012. La cantante fue como uno de esos amores fugaces; todo el mundo aclamó su irrupción con la canción " Video Games ", pero pasados los primeros meses de amor incondicional, el público ha sabido relativizar y Lana del Rey ha dejado de ser la artista que está en boca de todos. Aún así, rompo una lanza por ella [...]

In one way or another, it sounds like Leonard Cohen actually wrote Chelsea Hotel No. 2 with the thought of Lana Del Rey covering it one day in his mind. Sat on a couch, Lana delivers a stunning rendition of the classic - the look in her eyes when she says "And I need you / I don't need you" makes us weep.

The what: Lana Del Rey has covered the great Leonard Cohen and released one of her signature affected videos to promote that fact. The why is still unknown. We wonder if it has to do with a new album of hers rumored to be released this year. Read more articles like " Lana Del Rey - "Chelsea Hotel No. 23 " on PMA - Pretty Much Amazing .

Lana Del Rey proves that she can capture our attention by singing just about anything, as she now decides to provide us with a striking [...]

9Mary er kunstnernavnet for 18–19-årige Flo Morrissey, en singer-songwriter fra London, hvis musik virkelig har grebet mig om hjertet.  Navnet “9Mary” har hun taget fra en fotoserie af Adi Da Samraj, der tilsyneladende er en af hendes inspirationskilder. Når man lytter til hendes rene og modne sangstemme, slår det en, hvor naturligt det lyder. Musikken flyder fra 9Mary så naturligt, at man nemt kunne forestille sig, at det også lød sådan allerførste gang, hun samlede en guitar op eller satte sig ved klaveret og stemte i. Jeg vil tro, at det er sådan råt talent lyder. Lidt som en [...]

Algunas personas opinan que las musas son, en realidad, el reflejo del propio autor en la forma femenina. Otros, por otro lado, estiman que se trata de una conexión interna del propio músico o artista, interpretando su lado más “femenino” y traduciéndolo en su arte. Claro que solamente se trata de teorías, y variará de acuerdo con el caso. En esta primera edición de Canciones , donde ponemos bajo la lupa canciones históricas de la música moderna , analizaremos la relación de uno de los poetas más icónicos de la generación pasada, [...]
