Spanish Model

On Elvis Costello's daring, first-of-its-kind record, Spanish Model, out today via UMe, the ever adventurous songwriter and his co-conspirator, the 18-time GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® award-winning producer, Sebastian Krys, have brought together a stunning international cast of some of the biggest Latin rock and pop artists from around the globe to interpret Elvis Costello and The Attractions' classic 1978 debut album, This Year's Model, entirely in Spanish.

The exciting new incarnation of the album combines newly-recorded vocal performances with Costello and The Attractions' original instrumental performances from the pristine master tapes. Spanish Model retains the spirit and energy of This Year's Model, while revealing even greater instrumental power in the Attractions' playing.

This is a brand new edition of these songs for the present day, for the Spanish-speaking audience or indeed anyone with the willingness to listen again and sense the imagination, integrity, and wit of these new vocal performances, which on several occasions turn the lyrical perspective, inside out and upside down.
