Elvis Costello is a singer-songwriter and rock musician from Liverpool, England, known for his clever wordplay and genre-blending. He emerged in the late 1970s as part of the new wave movement. By 2003, Costello had established a prolific career, moving between punk, pop, and more experimental sounds, with "North" arriving after his soundtrack work for the film "All About Love."
