Every since I was young, I have always associated R&B music with the color purple. There was no rhyme or reason to it; to put it simply, the genre just sounds like the color purple to me. But that’s not the only reason this cover sticks out to me so much. This photograph is set…
Back when I was in college, my roommate’s favorite artist was Lana Del Rey, and I once remembered her telling me this was her favorite album of hers. So, I went out and bought it on vinyl and make wall artwork out of it, and I remember thinking how I almost wanted to keep it…
After so many years of not having a single clue as to what this album cover represents, I think I finally have some semblance of an idea. The broken light bulb was always a little confusing because I was constantly wondering why it’s still “lit up” by other lights reflecting off of it. And I…
Cover art may not seem as important now in the digital streaming age where most people probably don’t consider it, but back in the day, the cover art was sometimes more important than the music itself.

Sometimes simplicity is the way to go, and when it comes to this album cover, that couldn’t have been more perfectly executed. This might not be incredibly artsy or intricate but what I love about it is how it appears so candid and natural. While it’s easy to pose and dress up some sort of…
I’m going to keep this one short and simple: this album cover is simply just so funny and it never manages to lose it’s charisma no matter how many times I see it. Some cover art is visually appealing, some is bland, some is just beyond forgettable. But I can’t say I’ve come across many…
The Weeknd has always been a creative artist and one that rightfully deserves all of the acclaim and recognition he’s received. He excels as a musical artist, never feeling afraid to bend genres and try new things, but he also has some incredible creative energy that ties every singe one of his projects together. With…
