Popular Problems is the thirteenth studio album by the legendary Leonard Cohen.

In an interview with the Guardian, Cohen described what it was like to work on the album with Patrick Leonard (who co-write eight of the nine songs) and said, ‘It was a very agreeable collaboration because of an absence of ego and an abundance of musical ideas on Patrick’s part.’
