NEW ALBUM & SINGLE ARTWORK : loreen - heal & my heart is refusing me (international edition) & calling out your name

So excited for this year's Eurovision winner's album, it's title has been announced as 'Heal' and will be released worldwide on October 24th! The artwork is simple and classic Loreen (i.e. black n white, close up, lotta hair etc. etc.)

The international follow-up single to the epic 'Euphoria' is to be a remixed version of 'My Heart Is Refusing Me' - check out the delicious (and slightly Paloma Faith-esque) artwork below:

ALSOOO - her next Scandinavian single is to be a new song titled 'Crying Out Your Name', featuring another image from her Paloma Faith-esque photoshoot!

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : olly murs - right place right time

For Olls' US debut he has deicded not to re-release his 'In Case You Didn't Know' album (a la Cher Lloyd), but in fact release a whole new album. The cover is a pretty standard Murs-affair...the title scrawled everywhere, like a chalkboard..yadda yadda... He looks cute though :P

NEW DELUXE EDITION ARTWORK : cher lloyd - sticks & stones (US edition) (deluxe edition)

Cher is poised to release her debut 'Sticks + Stones' stateside (try saying that with a lisp...) and has just announced that it will also be in a deluxe edition as well - including new tracks and all versions of all this era's singles!

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : cher lloyd - with ur love (US version)

So, Cher's US edition of 'Sticks & Stones' unveiled a welcome new visual direction, seemingly more adult-looking than what was shown in the UK version. This new visual can be seen on the cover of second US single 'With Ur Love' - interestingly, this version doesn't feature Mike Posner, someone who isn't unknown in the States. simonsez likes it, do you?

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : rebecca ferguson - backtrack

Bex's latest single will be the song added to the US version of 'Heaven', called 'Backtrack'. Check out the artwork below:

p.s. Goodness, that use of Century Gothic type hasn't grown on me...can't wait for her to ditch it for the next album's artwork!

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : cher lloyd - sticks & stones (US version)

I've found it so interesting to see how they've branded Cher over in the US - it looks like they are toning down the "brattish"/youngness and turning up the hot tamale/young ladyness! (Just compare this US version of the album cover to the UK edition released last year...). Liking the update to her logo too - snaps for Ms. Lloyd.
