About this album
Blood & Chocolate is a ferocious late-period Elvis Costello album, and one of the sharpest records he made with The Attractions. Released in 1986, it returns to a harder, more combustible band sound after the more polished territory of earlier mid-80s work, with Costello’s lyrics cutting between bitterness, wit and romantic damage. The album includes standout songs such as “I Want You”, “Tokyo Storm Warning” and “I Hope You’re Happy Now”, all of which helped cement its reputation as one of his most passionate and uncompromising releases. It remains a key album in the Costello catalogue, bridging new wave intelligence and rock urgency.
