Elvis Costello & The Imposters will release the album 'The Boy Named If' on Jan. 14.
, will be released on Jan. 14. The collection, described in a release as"urgent, immediate songs with bright melodies, guitar solos that sting and a quick step to the rhythm," was previewed with the churning, organ-driven rocker, “Magnificent Hurt.”, 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.
“[The songs] take us from the last days of a bewildered boyhood to that mortifying moment when you are told to stop acting like a child - which for most men can be any time in the next fifty years," Costello said, adding that the lyrics harken back to a more innocent period of life. “Once upon a time, when I didn’t know what a kiss could do and didn’t even dare to caress, the way ahead was a mystery; a departing from that magic state called innocence for the pain that leads to pleasure and all that jazz," he said."Don’t get me started about the guilt and shame and all those other useless possessions that you must throw overboard before you set sail with your dreamboat ."as well as the comedic Audible"Words & Music" project album.
