Drake has great artwork

CLB cover art is pretty amazing honestly if you think about it for more than thirty seconds. The duality of it is what impresses me the most. On the one hand, it’s just simple emojis. Seems very low effort. But this is Drake saying that he wants the music to speak for itself first and foremost. He doesn’t need gimmicks, theatrics, or controversy. Unlike some people. Music comes number 1, as it should.

But a second glance also reveals a striking complexity. The use of emojis is Drake commenting on how the digital age has reduced complex emotions and difficult conversations previously held and expressed in person to simple images, emojis. We’ve become brain dead consumers, whose thought has been reduced by corporations to the lowest common denominators that could never possibly capture the full intricacy of our individual thoughts and feelings.

Corporations like Apple attempt to homogenize us into simple unquestioning sacks of flesh, capable of only communicating through grunts in the form of emojis, not much different than our Neanderthal progenitors. This breeds a knuckle dragging populace incapable of thinking critically about the role technology plays in keeping us under heel and subservient to our corporate overlords. Drake invites us to ponder this.

I think he’s also asking us to reflect on the burden women are forced to carry in our society, and how this burden is further complicated by the intersectional oppressions of race and gender, hence the beautiful diversity of women showcased through this art.

Drake effectively makes a statement while simultaneously asking very hard questions about our postmodern society.

everything is either so minimalistic it’s overdone or looks like it was made in Adobe flash in a day

How do you want us to buy vinyls for some of these new releases

The only big artists that seem like rheyre still putting something into the covers are Tyler,Carti, ye or Travis, or Weeknd. There’s probably more I just haven’t seen

Eternal Atake fan chosen cover was bad

Drake cover’s been bad since DLDT

Future cover’s honestly haven’t been bad

Even this year:

That yeat album cover is atrocious

H,N would be better if you could read it

Pusha cover ass

Dawn FM cover meh but you can tell he probably took his time with deciding what the cover wanted to be.

MMBS probably the best out of these big drops this year

yeah covers in general have been trash lately

very odd combination of muted colors and random primaries/secondaries, it feels like a while since a cover used color well

for reference here are some of my favorite covers from this year:
