The title track was awarded a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance in January 2018. It was Cohen's last album released during his lifetime and was followed by the posthumous album Thanks for the Dance in November 2019.\n\nAfter touring extensively between 2008 and 2013, Leonard Cohen began to suffer \"multiple fractures of the spine\" among other physical problems, according to his son and producer Adam Cohen. Due to Leonard Cohen's mobility issues, much of You Want It Darker was recorded in the living room of his home in Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles, then sent by e-mail to his musical collaborators.\n\nCohen has said his condition helped him eliminate any distractions during the recording of the album: \"In a certain sense, this particular predicament is filled with many fewer distractions than other times in my life and actually enables me to work with a little more concentration and continuity than when I had duties of making a living, being a husband, being a father.\" \n\nDespite his medical condition, Adam Cohen said that \"occasionally, in bouts of joy, he would even, through his pain, stand up in front of the speakers, and we'd repeat a song over and over like teenagers.\" https://tinyurl.com/2s475kuh", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
