Leonard Cohen – Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen – Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Released in 1967, Songs of Leonard Cohen introduced a voice that felt completely unlike anything else at the time. Already known as a poet and novelist, Cohen approached music with that same precision and clarity — building songs that were simple on the surface but carried a deep emotional weight underneath.

With sparse arrangements guided by producer John Simon, the album leaves plenty of space for Cohen’s unmistakable baritone to sit front and centre. Suzanne, So Long, Marianne and Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye blend gentle melodies with lyrics that feel both deeply personal and quietly universal — intimate without ever losing their sense of distance.

There’s a stillness to this record that sets it apart. It doesn’t try to impress — it draws you in slowly. Melancholic, reflective and beautifully restrained, Songs of Leonard Cohen remains one of the most enduring debut albums in folk music.
