Spanish Model takes the instrumental performances from This Year's Model and places new Spanish-language vocals over them, creating a lively companion to one of Elvis Costello's defining early records. It is not a simple covers album: the Attractions' original attack remains underneath, but the vocal phrasing and language shift the songs into a different emotional register.

The record matters because it turns a canonical English-language new wave album into a collaborative Latin rock and pop project without replacing the original band performances.

A useful Costello catalogue piece for collectors interested in alternate versions, translation projects and late-period reworkings of classic albums.

Sharp new wave backing tracks, Latin rock and pop vocal interpretations, bright guitars, tight rhythm section and the nervous energy of This Year's Model reframed in Spanish.

Recommended for: Elvis Costello collectors; Fans of This Year's Model; Listeners interested in Spanish-language rock reinterpretations.
