! new feature ! THE WEEK'S MOST POPULAR! 5th/12th november
so i've decided to create a new feature on simonsez-CD, posting a weekly rundown of the five most popular posts! showing you what everyone's having a good old look at :)
people are LOVING this artwork! as i said before, really feeling that logo and having such a solid visual in keeping with the song's video...like, like, like!
a lot of 1Dersss making their way over to have a look at the boy's latest single artwork (and it's alternate cover, both below).
STILLL waiting for the version of the cover with the added 'featuring calvin harris & burns' in hq!... avid artwork enthusiasts (like simonsez...) know why that's so important haha
with her sixth studio release just around the corner, there has been talk (no pun intended :D) online that it'll be released in an uber-deluxe 'couture edition', just like the loverly 'loud' album was :) so lots of riri fans have been finding out what this whole 'couture' thing is all about...and landed on my special post!
and finally, my newest favourite duo!...and judging by the post's popularity, a lot of others are loving them too :)
and that was the (first) 'week's most popular'! look forward to what will come out top next time :D

WOW they are churning out the singles from their latest release 'the papercut chronicles 2'! here's the fourth release :)
NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : shanell - so good (ft. lil wayne & drake)
still loving 'my button' and 'two seconds too late' :D and here is the latest release from the young money singer... (i won't go into too much detail about what i think of this cover, i'm just glad i love her music so much, as this is a pile-o-hot-mess)
NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : neon hitch - poisoned with love
another day, another AMAZING neon single... that i hope will be loved and bought by everyone and she'll become mega famous and...and...and i can hope, can't i? love that logo, love the drama of the cover, love neon hitch!!
NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : stooshe - betty woz gone
FINALLY some official artwork for my fave new girl group! by now you must've heard of stooshe, the bad-ass londoners, with foul moths and amazing voices... if you haven't... get with it! the artwork plays on their colourful/bordering novelty image that they flirt with so well :) love it, love them.
NEWS : amy winehouse's 'back to black' dress is up for sale!
the dress amy wore on the cover and some other shots of the iconic 'back to black' artwork is going under the hammer! the dress, created by designer disaya, was loaned to amy for the photoshoot and then returned and stored in the designer's archives. but now, it is being sold (reportedly expected to garner at least £20 000) to raise money for "the amy winehouse foundation".

LIMITED EDITION : lady gaga - born this way (collector's edition)
one of many editions gaga is releasing of 'born this way' (along with the standard edition, the 2 CD deluxe edition, the vinyl 'fan package', the USB limited edition, the 'born this way : the remix' and 'born this way : the collection' sets). probably the rarest of all the releases, the set includes nine 12" picture-disc vinyls (each one showcasing an individual image from the nick knight artwork photoshoot). each vinyl holds one song on each side, making up the deluxe edition of the album altogether, and a personal message from the gargs' etched onto each one as well. also included is a 24"x24" "little monster mosaic" poster (made up of images uploaded by fans) and each box is printed with an individual number.
breathe.
so, let's dive in!
(click "Read More" to see the rest of the photos!)
front of boxset (loving how simple it is! only gaga could have herself as a motorbike woman on one cover and nothing on the next)
the covering on the box has a faux-leather quality to it which really adds to the detail of the piece (and deliciousness :D)
back
sticker...no track listing, just record company mumbo...
the individual number is stamped on the back, a rare piece!
the sides of the box are completely blank, no title anywhere but the front. i love this feel to it, gets you all excited for what's about to be discovered inside...
opening up... and the BEAUTIFUL contents is revealed. still quite visually subdued, but luxurious and exquisite at the same time! (seriously, the quality of this set calls for such words!). on top of all the contents is placed the album's credits sheet, making full use of the iconic skull illustration by eliot flores
COMPETITION : fancy designing a new cover for cher lloyd?
cher lloyd has just unveiled a competition on her website for all aspiring CD artwork designers! the competition is for fans to design a new cover for her debut album 'sticks + stones', even allowing competitors to download a folder of logos and illustrations (above), to keep the designs in the theme of her previously released artwork! apart from the covers being shown on her website, it's unclear if they'll be used for any further purpose (a re-release?). do you fancy it? go to her website here and get uploading!
NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : monica - new life
originally posted this cover as the new artwork, but today the official cover was unveiled (below). nothing majorly spectacular... love mon'... but this feels a little too photoshopped (just looking at her teeth you can see someone's been on the blur tool a little too long)... but we all know the music will be majah :)

DISCOVERED : bridget kelly - every girl
the latest signee to roc nation, she has been seen standing in for alicia keys when jay-z performs 'empire state of mind' and now she's stepping out with an r'n'b/pop cross (in the vein of keyshia cole and keri hilson) for first EP 'every girl'. first single to be released is 'seek and destroy', which has the defining line: "you better not fuck this up", it's an anthem, haha!! loving the artwork too, not working in the usual square format, choosing to leave blank space around polaroids of the singer. unconventional and i love it! this is one to watch...

NEW REMIX SINGLE ARTWORK : florence + the machine - shake it out (the weeknd remix)
congratulations on the number one album flo'! the album's artwork alone deserves a prize, loving it!!
NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : cassie - sound of love (with dj komori) & make you a believer (ft. jadakiss) & radio (ft. fabolous)
!BUMPER CASSIE POST ALERT!
so i stupidly forgot to post about these buzz singles from cass', that surfaced over a month ago (in truth, i didn't know they had covers until i discovered her sound cloud page the other day...) anywho! let's get on with showing you some cassie artwork-ness!!
loving that her original loo has crept back :) obviously it is a buzz cover so nothing special, but loving that there is one anyway, seeing as these songs were only released on a mixtape.
love this song, probably my favourite from the three...and they used type like it's on an alarm...clock...RADIO! original or what?? :)
NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : michelle williams - on the run (with electric giant beatz)
oh holy goodness, in all that is true and holy...what is this mess??? why does anyone who can upload a picture into paint, think they can get away with travesties like this!
let's start with the positive, mich' is looking stunning. fact. now the negatives...
let's start with the positive, mich' is looking stunning. fact. now the negatives...
one: those types. those types. THOSE TYPES. from the "weathered" nastiness of 'on the run' to the "60's throwback" of michelle williams... all wrong!
two: the fact that we have "egb music productions presents" AND "electric giant beatz featuring"...so many words on the cover makes it too crowded and it's unnecessary!
three: that yellow for "michelle williams", what is that matching??? where has that come from??? yuck, yuck, yuck. hot mess.
four: the placing of EVERYTHING. somethings are over here, somethings are over there... somethings look like they are meant to be centred and quite clearly aren't... someone needs to be schooled in design!
five: electric giant beatz having a "z" in it.
five: electric giant beatz having a "z" in it.
...song's good though, check it out!
