Why wasn't this the album cover.......

 

Was literally about to post this. This would have been perfect. What even is this album title and cover? 

Like I think more highly of Charli than just about any other artist in the world, and she’s never let me down on the music, but I’m so not following the marketing approach for this era.

I ordered the vinyl. Looks great.

can someone confirm if von dutch is a standalone single or if it's an album track so i can sort my scrobbles xx

this cover art…….. terrible 

agreed. also, really not into this diy/distressed/"intentionally" LQ/pixelly thing. She already like *kinda* did that with HIFN and this one isn't artfully or tastefully done enough to look intentional. It just looks lazy and bad. 

 

Also, in case anyone wasn't sure if she signed with Ratlantic again:

So excited

I feel like the official cover will be the close-up, but this is just a placeholder and vinyl exclusive cover.

 

I lowkey love it that it's pixelated. her name/logo on her website is also pixelated.

me too, it adds to the aesthetic  

please be indie sleaze kinda thing

and for the love of god please be a placeholder cover 

 

The worst shade of green on the entire color system. Still excited for the music, but I’m worried 

She obviously didn’t slap a pixelated word brat in green because it was meant to be a placeholder…   It’s the official cover 

ugly ass title but i will be streaming

I want to believe it's a placeholder but electronic music releases rarely have pictures, they are usually text and graphics so it kinda would make sense to have that as the official cover since it's "club" music. 

Maybe this is the physical cover?

The album cover is so stupid  Charli…

girl 

 

yes this is the lead single, In the City was standalone

Whoa, curious about what the music will sound like!

This is obviously not a placeholder. 

CRASH rollout again where the lead single is 6 months ahead of the album  Imagine how tired we are

 

Kinda love the title though, but that had better be a placeholder cover  There’s a difference between being “pixely” for aesthetic (like Courier font, or another old digital font) and having straight up jpg artifacts like this has. It’s giving

 

music not the bling!

I never pre-order vinyl for albums I haven’t heard, but I just had to pre order that picture disc

the cover is a big slay

 

spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

I would've prefered XCX brat as a reference to XCX world but this title is okay i guess.

 

Hopefully the material is good 

really hoping it’s good  didn’t love in the city 

her logo is now a pixelated charli xcx as is the brat imagery for the album art; I feel like it might be a throwback / homage to her myspace rave scene days? She did say this is the music she always wanted to make, so maybe she's paying tribute to the unpolished internet of the 2000s (or so I am telling myself so I can begin to like it)

I'm crying laughing that we still haven't gotten Von Dutch yet

You're not gonna get the song [cover] the first time you hear [see] it. After the second or third time, you're gonna be like, 'Whoa, what is this?' It sounds [looks] nothing like anything that's out right now."
