Today show "You want it darker", the latest album by Leonard Cohen. The cover was designed by the Belgian Sammy Slabbinck. On Radio 1, he explains how the Canadian musician and living legend ended up with him.

 

"I'm mostly collages and video animations," Slabbinck tells "Ayco" on Radio 1. "The place I'm on, Instagram. At one point I saw Adam Cohen followed me and my work, liked it. I sent him a message to him thank to which he gave me a polite reply sent back. "

 

"A few days later I was suddenly back, he told a post. Me about the new album they were recording and told them someone sought to design the cover. He asked if I felt like it. I sat down, but I nearly fell off my chair. It was surreal. "
