"At the age of 82 Leonard Cohen is releasing an album of haunting new songs, which the lucky few who have heard it, deem 'a masterpiece' and 'classic Cohen,'" read a statement on Cohen's official Facebook page.
The legendary Canadian songwriter's new album is produced by his son Adam Cohen, according to Rolling Stone. No release date for You Want It Darker has been announced yet.
An excerpt of a song from the album was featured on U.K. drama show Peaky Blinders and can be listened to here.
