New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Elvis Costello has released 'Look Now,' his first new album in five years and first with The Imposters since the 2008 release of 'Momofuku.' Recorded in Hollywood, New York City and Vancouver, British Columbia, most of the new titles were written solely by Costello, although the album does feature co-writes with Burt Bacharach ("Don't Look Now," "Photographs Can Lie," "He's Given Me Things") and
Carole King ("Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter").
