When Elvis Costello was promoting his last album, the eclectic “Hey Clockface,” in 2020, he told Variety, “The guitar songs I’ve written for are for another day,.” And…
Said Costello in a statement announcing the new album: “Pete , Steve and myself started out playing rocking pop music in another century. This year, ‘This Year’s Model’ came back to surprise us in another tongue. That edition is called ‘Spanish Model,'” he said, pointing to a fall release that took the basic tracks from his 1978 classic sophomore and put Latin stars’ new Spanish-language lead vocals on top of them.
Costello’s statement made it sound as if the new record might bear some conceptual aspirations. “The full title of this record is ‘The Boy Named If .’ ‘If’ is a nickname for your imaginary friend; your secret self, the one who knows everything you deny, the one you blame for the shattered crockery and the hearts you break, even your own. You can hear more about this ‘Boy’ in a song of the same name.
