Legendary Leonard Cohen to release new two-song album

Invigorated at 80 by the success of his album "Popular Problems" released last October, legendary Canadian singer Leonard Cohen will release a new opus in May, but with only two new songs.

Another eight tracks were recorded on Cohen's recent tour for "Can't Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour," Sony Music Entertainment Canada said.

The release comes on the heels of a Canadian "Album of the Year" award for "Popular Problems" at the Junos.

On the new album, Cohen "brings the colors of his virtuoso band to full bloom in harmony with his voice, never more seductive," according to a statement, in live performances of "I Can't Forget," "Light As the Breeze," "Night Comes On," and "Joan of Arc."

These were recorded during his 2008 to 2013 live concert tour, which totaled 470 shows in 31 countries for four million fans.

He also recorded two brand new songs, "Never Gave Nobody Trouble" and "Got a Little Secret," for the album to be released on May 12.
