NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : nicole scherzinger - killer love (re-release) (?)

UPDATE : my guess was right (unfortunately), check out the full cover here

nicks released the new video for latest single 'try with me' earlier today, it will act as the lead single for the forthcoming re-release of the 'killer love' album. an e-mail was sent out to fans announcing the re-release and that it was set to include 'try with me' and the 50 cent remix of 'right there', as well as two unheard songs: 'trust me i lie' and 'tomorrow never lies'. the e-mail also contained this image (below), is it the new artwork? new logo?...hopefully not, i was hoping my prayers would be answered that they'd take the artwork in a completely new (and better) direction...

one thing i am sure of is that the e-mail included the new "nicole scherzinger" logo type, that she'll be using for the re-release era, compared to the one from the original album and single artworks (below) you can see slight differences..she's taking it to "the next level" :)

the 'killer love' type seems to be legit as well...feels like a throwback to her logo from the doomed 'her name is nicole' days...

NEW REMIX SINGLE ARTWORK : nicole scherzinger - don't hold your breath (the remixes) & right there (ft. 50 cent) (the remixes)

the 'killer love's artwork (the album, singles...except 'poison'... and these remix covers included) have had such an air of fan-made about them that just doesn't sit right with me...the logo, the "special FX" on the images...it's all meh! here's hoping the re-release gets a much needed reboot in the cover department...

and here's the 'right there (the remixes)' artwork, hadn't realised they'd "created" a cover for it...

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : rebecca ferguson - nothing's real but love

last year's x factor uk runner-up is about to unleash that voice again with a gabrielle-style debut! the artwork is a tad "meh"...mainly because of that type, but you can't deny the talent!

UPDATE : the single's artwork got an update.... here :)

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : lady gaga - marry the night

flawless. (and you know i don't usually like video stills as cover artwork...but please, you can't deny this!)

! updated ! NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : pixie lott - young foolish happy

major HMMMMMM...ok, so pixie's 'all about tonight' cover artwork was originally this and was redesigned to this. there is confusion over what the 'what do you take me for' artwork is (i'm hoping it's not this). NOW the 'young foolish happy' artwork has been changed from this to...

yes, we can all see this is a better design then the original one (though i did like the original...) but could no one have mentioned it before it was released into the public domain? also, for it to be the second redesign of this era (after 'all about tonight') is really sloppy of pixie's team and the designers as well. album campaigns have to be tight, well executed and with no confusion to potential consumers. let's hope things pick up in future...

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : one direction - up all night

this is the standard version of the album's artwork, it will also be released in a 'limited yearbook edition' (check it out here) and also hmv will exclusively sell slipcases featuring individual images of each 1D member! (check them out here).

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : the throne (kanye west & jay-z) - n****s in paris

the title doesn't sit amazingly well with me, but you can't deny that artwork (in fact all visuals from this era have been flawless)!

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : labrinth - earthquake (ft. tinie tempah)

still in love with that logo!! digging on the drama of the cover overall as well :) definitely fits with the recently released video's visuals.

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : drake - make me proud (ft. nicki minaj)

with the push back of the 'take care' album, by a month, i think drizzy felt he owed his fans another single :) the artwork is in the same theme as the other singles (a.k.a. see-lightly boring) and doesn't even come close to the amazing 'take care' art!

DISCOVERED : nervo - we're all no-one

they are australian twins. they are both DJs. they supported britney on part of her 'femme fatale tour'. they are gunna take over the world of pop! 'we're all no-one' is their first break out single (they've been featured on other tracks and have had a couple of buzz singles) and it's hot. the artwork is pretty straightforward, but still feels slick and i love that colour for the images filter!

this was their original logo...which is fun...(and tacky as all hell!)...

BUT they cleverly redesigned and simplified it down to this delightful piece :D

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : tinchy stryder - off the record

originally thought this artwork was for tinchy's 4th record, but it's actually the second single from his yet untitled album. the release will be featuring calvin harris and burns, so will update when their names are added to the cover :)

NEW ALBUM & DELUXE EDITION ARTWORK : rihanna - talk that talk (standard & deluxe editions)

after teasing us, riri has rewarded the navy's patience with not one...BUT TWO 'TALK THAT TALK' COVERS! she's getting back to that 'rated r' realness (the logo, the rings, the tongue!) haha <3 love thisss! and the 'talk that talk' tattoo type, ahhhhh! <3 <3 <3 *explodes*

AND THERE'S MORE! this is the deluxe cover for the new album too :D:D not as crazy for this one (what is it with her and smoking?...), i think it's more as it doesn't match the standard edition cover haha (i like a matching set...), the black and white photo drowns out the "r" logo too :/ but still SO FIERCE!!

RANDOM : lady gaga - born this way (chinese edition) back cover

discovered this gem :)

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : cher lloyd - sticks + stones

the artwork for her debut release (singles and this album artwork) really encapsulate cher! teetering on the edge of being too much haha! i love it :)

ps. are her and nicola roberts in on some "sticks and stones/forget the h8rs" campaign together?! either way it's inspiring greeeat pop music, so i'm all for it!

NEW ALBUM BOOKLET ARTWORK : the saturdays - on your radar

a little sneak peek into the 'on your radar' booklet thank you pages...those photos are too fierce :D

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : the saturdays - on your radar (hmv exclusive slipcases)

as i reported before (when i posted about their new album and limited edition artwork for 'on your radar'), hmv are exclusively releasing the album with individual band member slipcases: 'frankie slipcase', 'mollie slipcase', 'vanessa slipcase', 'una slipcase' and 'rochelle slipcase', featuring their flawless photograph, that beautiful sats' logo and their autograph. you want?
ps. i'll update when high quality images arise...

                                     

NEW ALBUM ARTWORK : olly murs - in case you didn't know

i bet the actual booklet artwork will be good for this, i bet there'll be some loverly photos of the type that's been cut out (strewn across the floor :D). very graphical, snaps all round!

NEWS : rihanna to release 'talk that talk' cover artwork soon...

so she got her navy to reveal the new single artwork and her new logo, as well as other missions, and now riri wants you to help reveal the album cover too through her facebook app "UNLOCKED"!

you're asked to upload a photo of yourself...

...and you get riri-fied!

and to reward you for your effort, you'll be one of the first shown the new cover!

we all know the navy will have this cracked by tonight, so i'll update with the new artwork soon :D:D

NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : melanie fiona - 4AM

for some crazy reason i haven't posted about mel yet, she is a MAJAH urban artist, who is still sooo underrated. '4AM' serves as the second single from her up coming sophomore album, 'the mf life'. the video was released yesterday and it is beautiful. 

RANDOM : now james corden "covers" adele!

first, reggie yates had a go and now "gavin & stacey" writer and all-round funny man, james corden, has decided to recreate adele's '21' cover for heat magazine!

he also decided to have a go at recreating her now iconic "brit awards" performance of 'someone like you'! now love me some james, but no one is touching adele's beauty and amazingness right now...
