NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : candice pillay - smooches (ft. kelly rowland)

signed by producer bangladesh (this song is his signature sound to the max!!), originally demoed by kelly rowland, who is now being used as a feature. the song is being released as candice's buzz single, meaning a boring ass artwork, but i'm still excited about what this female has to offer!

! updated ! NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : natalia kills - free (ft. will.i.am)

all that's changed is the colouring of nat's image...but seriously it makes the whole artwork fit in more with the rest of her pieces...really! 



the recolouring and shape reminds me of some of her earlier promo shots, which actually really got me digging on her imagery!!


NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : sean paul - got 2 luv u

people still use text speak for song titles??...nice touch of using a phone screen to carry on the theme...snaps all round!


NEW REMIX SINGLE ARTWORK : dev - bass down low (the uk mix) (ft. tinie tempah)

love love lovvve the remix, but oh DEAR LORD what have they done to the cover??? 'the uk mix' type..ewww!!

NEW DELUXE EDITION ARTWORK : kelly rowland - here i am (deluxe edition)

shot by derek blanks, the artwork looks breathtaking! type is see-lightly dull, but that image is giving me life right now!! hope kells brings it with the album content too!!

p.s. not sure how happy i am that the word 'deluxe' or 'special' have become taboo words to put on covers...

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : kelly rowland - here i am

that elusive 3rd album is FINALLY HERE!! remember how long ago 'commander' came out??


...funny that the temporary artwork i was using on itunes was basically this cover haha...

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : kat deluna - inside out (US & eastern europe edition)

the release of this album has been a long line of mildly successful singles and then the quiet release of the album :/ the US edition supposedly coming out last year, though i've only just seen the artwork!! there's also murmurs that kat is already moving onto to the next album tentatively titled 'viva'....
p.s. i may have seen this artwork before, but mistook it for a fan-made..awkward....

US edition


eastern european edition

kylie on her grind! haha, can't WAIT for the goddess edition :D:D:D

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : her majesty + the wolves - 111

don't know how this hasn't surfaced sooner, the album promo is already in circulation...i like!!!

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : david guetta - nothing but the beat

wow guetta is on his griiiind with the singles! and loving the look of this cover, two very enthusiastic thumbs up :D

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : joss stone - somehow

love the simplicity and keeping with the visual theme of the album artwork too...but why oh why are so many people getting the "handwritten" effect so wrong??? (see: nadine coyle - 'sweetest high')

! updated ! NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : nadine coyle - sweetest high

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : nadine coyle - sweetest high

love her name's type...but wtf with the 'sweetest high' font...hello microsoft word, i can't even bare to look at it! not sure where this single has come from in general also, nadine is releasing solo album number 2?? finger crossed she gets that hit she's after!

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : maroon 5 - moves like jagger (ft. christina aguilera)

bit of a "blah" artwork, and the song's title type is horrrrrrible! but glad chrissie is getting back on her music thang, 'bionic' was severely underrated, can't wait for album no. 5!!


p.s. let's be clear, this post is for christina...I.DO.NOT.LIKE.MAROON.5.

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : natalia kills - free (ft. will.i.am)

not one of her best artworks, but still keeps within the visual theme of the era, glad they added will to the single version too, it needed his extra suttin' suttin'...

NEW REMIX SINGLE ARTWORK : sophia somajo - wristcutters inc. (the remixes)

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : skylar grey - invisible

im not mad keen...the 'dance without you' artwork held a bit more of a sense of the mystery surrounding "who skylar is", which seems to be the marketing direction her team are taking with her debut, this one has smoke writing...not cool.

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : melanie c - rock me

getting back to the dancey direction that one of her early solo singles ('i turn to you') took, it's catchy and fun...cover artwork is horrendous though, boring and unoriginal...she looks fierce though!


NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : shania twain - today is your day

back after 6 years :D:D

NEW EP ARTWORK : wynter gordon - with the music i die (EP)

LIMITED EDITION : rihanna - loud (couture edition)

this edition was released at the same time as the standard and deluxe edition of the album, as a limited release. it includes the standard album, along with a dvd of 'the making of loud', packaged in an oversized digipak, with oversized booklet and limited edition lithograph print. with rihanna's 'loud tour' just about to begin and the singles 'man down' and 'california king bed' doing well, i decided this would be the next limited edition i'd show to you all :) show click "Read More" to dive into the fiery-haired diva's 'loud (couture edition)' :


front (the edition is the size of a 12" vinyl, i didn't even realise until it arrive, all the pictures i had seen made it look like a CD case size!)


the whole oversized digipak is covered by a slipcase with the album's title (and riri's name of course) on, i love this feature, simple, original and really adds to the luxury feel of the edition.

! updated ! NEW ALBUM & BACK COVER ARTWORK : kylie minogue - aphrodite (les folies tour edition)

i'm getting see-lightly confused over what will be the overall cover and back cover artwork of the 'les folies tour edition'... see my original post for the artwork already released and then these images have also surfaced. promo shots or artwork?





i've been so distracted by the excitement for 'the goddess edition' (also check out my post for that below), that i didn't really think of how the 3CD tour edition would be packaged, the price suggests it'll be more then a simple plastic case, possibly a book with slipcase? time will tell and i'll post as soon as mine arrives....
