Leonard Cohen-I'm Your Man (1988)

The Leonard Cohen of the 70s was a very particular singer and different from what was politically established, his style stands out from the pop and rock trends of the time with unique and original proposals.
With the arrival of the new decade of the 80's, Leonard Cohen was renewed and revealed an artist with a will for modernity, who knew how to face and dominate a decade in which many others were hopelessly shipwrecked. After a slight transition with his album 1984 "Various positions", in which synthesizers and new technologies already appear as a fundamental part of his songs, it is in 1988 when Cohen would reach its maximum splendor and ultimately his greatest success with the album "I'm your man", a job that led many to discover a new Leonard Cohen who, anyway, did not give up his old worries. The disc contained some songs that became hits of tremendous commercial impact. The songs immediately went on to be among the best of Cohen.
In a Rolling Stone poll of the Canadian singer's top ten songs in his entire career, three songs from this album, "I'm your man", "Tower of song" and "Everybody knows", are on that list.
