She’s arguably a million times more successful since she shot the holy quadrant of album artworks. Baring in mind nobody knew her the first album, she has moderate success with the second album and all of her mainstream collabs were released after the third? Her airplay exposure has been great and she’s had radio hits with each album. She’s rarely if ever not touring and her tours sell well. The art direction just isn’t there for the visuals. Her first 3 albums are all among the best selling albums in UK of the past 15 years, The Architect was big too. Her recent Infinite Things was a complete flop though so it's not like she was bigger now, her first few years were massive.

So to say that the reason it flopped is the excuse for the low budget artwork is kinda redundant. They didn’t know it was a flop when they were shooting the artwork and in fairness it’s perhaps her most crafted for radio record (so far). She always said the infinite things artwork was to mark a shift as her as an artist
Eglė Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 I really don't understand why are y'all obsessed with her first four Coverlandia'd covers They were phenomenal for the time, but would look rather cheap in this day and age, when everything is so digitalised already and every artist is moving towards simplicity. I personally love the cover. It's giving Paloma's version of 25. 2
computer.boy Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 "A Perfect Contradiction" remains as her best album cover, imo. About "The Architect / TGOS"… I just changed the artworks via iTunes. As long as the music is good, it's not that deep, imo. 1
MikeS88 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Hopefully the tracks on the album are as good as some of the ones that haven’t made it. infinite Things was a chore to get through so this should be a massive improvement if the lead single is anything to go by.

The single choices were pretty dull compared to other tracks from the album (Supernatural, Monster, Living With a Stranger). Starting the era with "Better Than This"… was a choice. A lot of people were also debating about the visuals / album cover. Lastly, the lack of promo but I think a few people forget that Paloma was pregnant during that era and there was some kind of risk (?) if I remember correctly she posted something about it on IG. With that being said, I genuinely enjoyed Infinite Things, the vocal mixing was done pretty well (compared to The Architect) there's a couple bops and I like the artwork! My only skips are "Gold / Me Time / I'd Die For You" since I think they're a little bit cheesy.

AM98GJ Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 yea honestly the architect/ a perfect contradiction were really solid. I enjoyed them basically back to front Infinite Things definitely didn't catch me in the same way, fingers crossed this does!
