Perhaps have the Polaroid placed in a context that tells the story of the music. Personally, I’d remove the yellow background. If you do want others to see it, then say more about it. If you are trying to relate to people, you need to build in something relatable, that they can buy into personally – unless, as Just-B says, it is a personal project. That pic may or may not be cute, but it is not saying very much to anyone who doesn’t know the person in it. Having worked in the music industry designing album covers for both well-known and lesser-known bands and musicians, the same applies across the board. Sorry for the little rant though lol, I really appreciate your opinion and it honestly made me more aware of why I wanted to use this approach, as it was more of an impulse before.īut back to the design aspect i think what might be lacking is some strong contrast? I think I have enough reasons for choosing what i want to represent as this is going to be the first music project where I want to be me the way I am without restricting myself musically and artistically speaking. Finally making an interesting personna and building a character around the music is important, in my opinion. And I think that’s a more creative take than singing about love for the millionth time. People just love being reminded of good old times).Īlso It’s of course not completely about me as a kid, but mostly what made me who I am now and also my problems, that also resemble the problems of other people i suppose. (Take Twenty One Pilots song Stressed Out for example or the countless childhood album covers of rappers that talk about their upbringing or Oliver Tree walking around with a bowl cut like on his childhood album cover. So you say if someone sings about their broken relationships its less relatable for the audience, because they may not have experienced the same? Everyone had a childhood and nostalgia is something a lot of people feel. At the end of the day, the music is what counts! We get to hear it this Friday.Shouldn’t you be thinking along the lines of what will best engage your target audience rather than focusing in on your own personal nostalgia? The general consensus around the art seems to be disappointment if it were the actual artwork for the LP. Many thought that would end up as the official cover. Also, some of you might remember that accidentally leaked some CLB artwork that looked like the cover a few weeks ago.

The surprise comes because up until this point, every single one of Drake’s album covers has had his face on, from Thank Me Later to Scorpion.

Some also wondered whether the twelve emojis represented twelve tracks on the album, which is unlikely but certainly a possibility. Other accounts associated with Drake have also posted the image, like Oliver, Niko, the OVO Sound account and the Sound42 account, which makes it all the more likely that it would be the official image. If it’s his image, there’s a good chance it was commissioned or created by Damien for something as important as the album cover as opposed to just an IG post. Drake tagged Damien Hirst, an incredibly popular artist. There has been speculation about whether or not this is the album cover.ĭespite there being no text or parental advisory warning on it, a lot of signs point to that fact. The image is of the pregnant woman emoji, repeated twelve times, with only one of them having the colour scheme of an official emoji that you can use.
