In the early years of his career, he gained recognition as part of the group Elvis Costello & The Attractions. However, in 1996, the band recorded their last album and underwent some lineup changes. They reformed in 2002 with a new bassist and adopted a new name: The Imposters.
Throughout his career, Elvis Costello has been known for his diverse musical style and thought-provoking lyrics. His talent has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. In addition to his music career, he is also recognized for his marriage to Diana Krall since 2003.

Elvis Costello and The Imposters release The Boy Named If, an album of urgent, immediate songs with bright melodies, stinging guitar solos, and a quick step to the rhythm. Costello says, “The full title of this record is ‘The Boy Named If (And Other Children’s Stories).’ ‘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.” Produced by Costello and Sebatian Krys.
