Summary
In this career-spanning interview, Elvis Costello delves into the creation of his album "Look Now," defining its "uptown pop" sound and the evolution of The Imposters. He candidly shares insights on balancing musical technique with raw feeling, his enduring collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Carole King, and a recent health scare that deepened his artistic focus on the present. Costello also reflects on critical reception, the myth of rock and roll primitivism, and his long-standing mutual admiration with Bruce Springsteen, all while rejecting nostalgic views of his past work.Episode description
