ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS

Released after his recent cancer scare, Look Now is concentrated Costello focusing on the many magnificent qualities rather than wayward eccentricities that make him one of a kind – with the help of songwriting greats Burt Bacharach and Carole King. The delicately sung Stripping Paper has the swoonsome glory of his best soul-baring ballads, and Mr & Mrs Hush bristles with the old fire and anger. Elsewhere the political and personal entwine with grace and meaning served in equal measure. Elvis for everyone.
