"I'm out of the game."
I'm picking up a pattern here...
No really, in all honesty, the weight of this album caught me off guard even more than the unforeseen death of Leonard Cohen. Listening to You Want It Darker reminds me of why guys like Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen simply transcend lyrical expectation. I mean, after all, who do you go to for solace after a difficult divorce? (Well, for some, probably a priest. But that's neither here nor there). Personally, I'd go to the guy down on his luck with nothing left but half his shit. In the same spirit, if I'm looking for some sage advice, you better believe I'm going to expect to find it at the end of the bar, from the guy who's spent most of his time smoking cigars and drinking scotch there.
The point is, Cohen has been weighing in on existence since the '60s, and with You Want It Darker he conveys the thoughts of a man who's seen it all. We talk about artists maturing throughout there careers, and the Leonard Cohen of 2016 was not only mature, he was a poet-laureate - a man in possession of the kind of wisdom that could wrinkle every inch of your skin.

Ah Carly Rae Jepsen. If you know me well, you'll know that this girl is one of my guiltiest pleasures. But beyond that, she truly gives me faith in the future of pop music. Not only did she release one of my favorite records of 2015, but that album's B sides make up one of my favorite albums this year. The synths, the fat '80s bass lines, the room-engulfing snare hits - it's everything a pop record should be and more. Hell, this thing could have been released as a double LP, and it still wouldn't lose my attention. Takes notes, Katy Perry.
