Artist: Leonard Cohen

Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou com sons quentes vindos dos antípodas para animar ainda mais o bom tempo europeu. Os Panama, banda ao estilo Cut Copy, abriu a semana com o tema "Magic", o primeiro single desta banda australiana. De seguida e modo maravilha apresentou-se o novo single de

Minimalist/electronic producer Nicolas Jaar has teamed with Stephen Spielberg's daughter Sasha to re-create Leonard Cohen's 1971 track "Avalanche." "Avalanche" is a part of Jaar's innovative $40 aluminum music cube Prism . You might recall this isn't his first foray into making music with celebrity daughters . Stream: Nicolas Jaar & Sasha Spielberg – Avalanche (Leonard Cohen Cover) |

Nicolas Jaar tiene un gusto muy particular por colaborar con hijos de famosos. Primero fue con Scout La Rue, la hija de Bruce Willis y Demo Moore, y ahora acaba de lanzar una canción en la que trabajó con la hija de Steven Spielberg, Sasha . Aún más curioso, la canción se llama " Avalanche " y es un cover de Leonard Cohen . A ver qué les parece.

After Nicolas Jaar collaborated with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout Larue on "With Just One Glance", I had no idea the young producer would continue to work with Hollywood's female offspring. Today, much to our surprise, he is now collaborating with Sasha Spielberg. You guessed it, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's daughter. The track is called "Just Friends", a reimagining of Leonard Cohen's original work, "Avalanche". With a haunting, minimalist touch, this is the perfect song for this rainy day we are having here on the east coast. "Just Friends" will land on The Prism [...]

What is it with Nicolas Jaar and famous people's kids? First he teamed up with Scout LaRue , daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and now he's revealed this track with one Sasha Spielberg. Yes, you guessed it. She just so happens to have a father called Steven who directed some film called 'Jurassic Park'. If you thought that was intriguing enough, then just wait for this. The track in question is a Leonard Cohen cover, as Jaar takes apart his track 'Avalanche' and pieces it back together as a masterpiece [...]

Glacially gorgeous electronic music wunderkind Nicolas Jaar seems to have a thing about collaborating with famous movie people's daughters - and hell, it seems to work for him. First, he got Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout Larue to sing on the excellent track " With Just One Glance ." And now he has a new collaborative project called Just Friends with Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's daughter Sasha Spielberg. Below, listen to a radio rip of their spare, beautiful reimagining of Leonard Cohen's " Avalanche ." Read More...

As previously reported , electronic auteur Nicolas Jaar recently released a pseudo-mini MP3 player dubbed The Prism . Among the 12-songs included is a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche" with Steven Spielberg's daughter Sasha - whom you may recognize from Jaar's live performances - under the moniker Just Friends. (The man knows how to pick celebrity leading ladies , apparently.) As Pretty Much Amazing points out, the track is now available online, and you can stream it below. For this version, Jaar elevated the original' s threatening minimalism to [...]

Listen to Nicolas Jaar 's latest collaboration for the 'Just Friends' project. Jaar's latest track, a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Avalanche', sees him work with Sasha Spielberg, the daughter of legendary director Steven Spielberg. This isn't the first time Jarr has joined forces with a Hollywood offspring, as he recently worked with Scout Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.

Feels a little ridiculous calling Nicolas Jaar 's The Prism one of our favorite releases of 2012 so far, as the tracks come housed in a tiny, fragile (ours already broke), very cool looking $40 aluminum cube that most people won't be able to hear until Jaar decides to release all of these tracks digitally. A few Prism tracks surfaced over the weekend though - buried deep inside Jaar's perfect Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 - so I guess it's [...]

I am guessing things in the Cohen household are pretty rosy at the moment. Living legend Leonard was recently in the news as his former business manager Kelley Lynch was sentenced to jail after a prolonged harassment campaign. Cohen himself handled himself remarkably releasing a typically poetic statement. Meanwhile his eldest son Adam Cohen released the [...]

You would be astounded how many press releases we get that declare someone "one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time." ASTOUNDED. But when it comes to Leonard Cohen, some PR person isn't massively over-selling their client, they're just stating the facts. Cohen is one of the greats. His songs are what other songs are [...]
