Our Take

Elvis Costello Look Now (Deluxe Edition)

Elvis Costello may be pushing 70, but this man still knows how to make a modern music fan swoon. With the re-release of Look Now in deluxe form, Costello invites us to take a trip down memory lane whilst still keeping things fresh and exciting.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Under Lime", a swinging tune that showcases Costello's knack for storytelling and clever wordplay. And just when you think you've got him all figured out, he hits you with the heart-wrenching ballad "Stripping Paper", a gentle reminder that this man's got layers deeper than an onion.

Tracks like "Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter" and "Unwanted Number" perfectly blend Costello's signature wit with lush orchestrations, creating a sound that is at once familiar and totally new. It's like meeting an old friend for a pint and realizing they've gotten even cooler with age.

The deluxe edition of Look Now serves up a treasure trove of bonus tracks, including live performances and previously unreleased gems. It's like stumbling upon a hidden VIP room at a party and being greeted by Costello himself, ready to serenade you with his sweet, sweet melodies.

In conclusion, the deluxe edition of Look Now is a must-have for any die-hard Costello fan, as well as anyone looking to inject a bit of sophistication and style into their music collection. Trust me, you won't regret it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to "Don't Look Now" for the hundredth time. Cheers, Costello, you've done it again.

About the artist

Elvis Costello and The Imposters

Elvis Costello, the eccentric wordsmith and musical chameleon, has been captivating audiences with his genre-bending sound for decades. Born Declan Patrick MacManus in London, England, this musical genius has left an indelible mark on the industry with his unique blend of punk, new wave, and classic rock. With his iconic thick-rimmed glasses and sharp wit, Costello has proven time and time again that he is not one to be boxed in by convention. From his early breakout hits like "Alison" and "Watching the Detectives" to his experimental collaborations with artists like Burt Bacharach and The Roots, Costello has continuously defied expectations and pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a musician. His discography is a treasure trove of sonic exploration, from the raw energy of his debut album "My Aim Is True" to the lush orchestration of "Imperial Bedroom" and beyond. Costello's lyrics are as clever as they are poignant, tackling themes of love, politics, and everything in between with his signature sardonic charm. Whether performing solo with just his trusty guitar or commanding the stage with his backing band, The Imposters, Costello never fails to deliver a show-stopping performance. His live concerts are a testament to his enduring talent and showmanship, earning him a dedicated fanbase that spans generations. In a world that is constantly changing, one thing remains constant - the undeniable brilliance of Elvis Costello. With a career that has stood the test of time, this musical maverick continues to defy categorization and redefine what it means to be an artist in the ever-evolving landscape of music.
