AI generated + PSed in the ugly pendant

It’s aesthetically pleasing but looks cheap as an album cover from an A lister

Awful

This reminds me of Christina Aguilera in late 2012.

[Dialamba]

The cover is good some of y’all are doing the most 

[Janet]

It really is a treat to look at tbh, definitely grows on you

The ANGER in here.

 

It looks cheap, dated and washed out. Indie artist mixtape circa 2016 teas. 

 

If she wanted futuristic, she should have used a robotic Barbie/Terminator Barbie aesthetic for PF2 and put some budget into the execution.

This entire album rollout just feels like she's making **** up on the spot. What's the concept behind this? It doesn't fit any of the singles released so far and it has zero references to the original PF Why red hair with a bright pink color palette  

Well Tamar, did you listen to Pink Friday?

 

- I fly high, I’m blazin 

- Put on my cape and hit the sky

- I win, thrive, soar, higher - to fly

- Pink is featured

- Harajuku style is referenced

- A city skyline/NYC is referenced

- Heart pendant & she led with a dreamy, vulnerable single about loss of a loved one

- Red Ruby is the persona characterised in the music 

- She worked with the same photographer that did LTISY cover, so clearly there was intent, planning & cohesion

- The only visual we actually have from the album in the form of an official video is SFG & LTISY lyric video, which fits right in with the aesthetic

 

I don’t think it’s difficult as a fan to ascertain the references, but that aside, that’s a big conclusion to leap to without having heard the album yet. 
 

Some of the alternate suggestions here are tacky. I think people are mad that she didn’t serve predictable & it’s a piece that actually generates conversation and analysis. If they wanted her cheeks out, they can revisit Anaconda.

The rollout does give spontaneous tho, but she’s always worked that way, le sigh.

& i’m being generous with “cute”  

 

[thedeathbymusic]

I just wish the wig tips were pink instead of red and there was no cityscape, just pink clouds. the blues and the city view throws me off. but it is a mix of BMUS aesthetic with her classic Harajuku look with a touch of Barbie.

 

I also would have liked more of a nod to the original PF look, but like someone said, its different and unconventional which is what she came out the gate with. queen!

I like the cover!  Now we just need the tracklist and a new single ASAP!

This. The cover went a different direction to be called PF2. At least the color is still pink.

Maybe if she had those huge legs that she did for PF photoshoot like she was a Barbie, idk…
