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

NEW REMIX SINGLE ARTWORK : david guetta - where dem girls at (remixes) (ft. flo' rida & nicki minaj)

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : cher lloyd - swagger jagger

some people have major beef with this song...i loved it from the get-go!! more power to her :) just hope she keeps that british edge to a very american sound she's going for...

NEW LIVE ALBUM ARTWORK : kylie minogue - aphrodite (les folies : live in london)

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

so the other cover is a promo shot...and some bright spark got rid of the half decent type and left that...awful...microsoft word-inspired...mess!...good luck with this one...

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)

really love what she's been putting out, still quite underground but give her a listen! :D 

lovvvve the other artwork she's produced too, all directed by herself!...

<3

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : melody thornton - sweet vendetta

yesssss! mel's finally stepping up her solo work, and the artwork is giving a throwback-lp vibe :D good gal!

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.

! updated ! NEW DELUXE EDITION ARTWORK : beyoncé - 4 (deluxe edition) (hq)

it's been revealed this version is only available from target in america..grrr...guess i'll be waiting longer for my copy, then the lesser fans who illegally downloaded..ho-hum :/

UPDATE 2 : SHE HAS ARRIVED! check out my full post on my copy of

the limited edition (with HQ photos) here!

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

! updated ! NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : nicole scherzinger - right there

i forgot to post this a while ago, the artwork minus the awffulllll 'feat. 50 cent'/typo clash! doesn't look AS bad as it did...

NEW DELUXE EDITION ARTWORK : beyonce - 4 (deluxe edition)

set to include the standard album, a second disc of three new songs and three remixes of 'run the world (girls)' and there's murmurs of a DVD also...liking this new trend of 3 disc sets...:D:D

p.s. sorry for the tiny size, will update when higher quality versions arise...

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

the full album version is being released in australia (where wynter is blowing up!) and the EP is being released in the US, to drum up anticipation for the whole album. can't wait to see what she's gunna be serving up! also love that the artwork has the theme running through them :D

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.

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : adele - set fire to the rain

loving this album...as are half the world haha!

UPDATE: this is a fan-made, real cover is here.

! updated ! NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : britney spears - i wanna go

love the pic of britters, blast from the past to her teen years...but im assuming this is a video still, i never like them as single artwork...lay-zayyy. song = fire, though :D

! 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....
