Do modern pop girls need to try harder with album covers?

They do need to try harder. I'd rather have one really good cover than 5 variants which are all zero effort. 

 

IMO Pink Friday 2 is a great example of an album with many high quality covers of which all are beautiful, but that is sadly a rarity nowadays. I kinda blame Taylor for catapulting these low effort album covers into popularity with folklore.

All of Pink Friday 2 artwork is done with AI lol don't give us this **** lol

It's not… Who told you that?!

 

There are literally pictures from the photoshoots for each and every single one of these covers. It's photos taken on real sets then edited in post-production

What's wrong with that Gracie girl? Trying way too hard to be "relatable"

Ariana defo started the trend of mainstream pop girl lacklustre album covers (no shade) whether we would like to admit that or not but I lowkey blame taylor too because she hasn't given us a good album cover since Red ngl... :deadbanana4:

 

Anyway it's nice to see some of the girls still trying

I find some of those covers just fine. They don't need to be overdone to be good (Immunity, GUTS).  

 

That being said, some of them do try to serve some visuals. :smitten:

Well that photo you posted wasn't and isn't part of any official PF2 visuals, just a throwaway post for social media, so this isn't really a valid thing to bring up here...

 

Either way, this thread is about album covers as a whole, not just Nicki. We shouldn't keep this going I fear, you can stick to your opinion that PF2 covers are low effort and AI generated and I'll stick to mine - that they're merely enhanced, which isn't anything shocking or degrading!

I blame Madonna and that horrid hard candy album cover. She started iT!

I don't get the concept and message behind that album, was it supposed to be fun and unserious. Like, chasing commercial success? 

She mixes R&B into pop but the production is not good.

I understand what she's trying to say in other albums but this one, I don't get it

I mean in some cases it matches the vibe, like you can tell what kind of mediocrity you will get by looking at the cover of Gracie's albums :cm:

I think the cover is ugly on purpose. Basically, "I'm 50 and spreading my legs, got a problem with that?". It's not supposed to be classy or highbrow.

Most album covers have always been ugly and lazy

Gracie Abrams especially needs to try harder with album covers

Not really these are different times. I feel like Gen Z is about mininalism while with Millenials the more over the top was the better.
