Thanks for posting it Clampigirl. It brings some good conversation to the table. Looking at all the album covers I have seen in my life and knowing bands/singers history, I would have to say that many of the artists usually leave someone else to design their album covers. They hardly choose what they want to see on their own music album covers. The band presents an idea to the art department, but those guys take over and present "something else" which THEY think would be "commercially accepted" by the general public. Often saying, "This is what the new generation likes/wants to see". SInce the recording company has ALL the money and the last saying, they go ahead with it. Often leaving the artist with no final saying. Same thing with the Fashion industry, they steal little bits and pieces from all over the place to create a "new look". Its like music artists stealing (or "burrowing") a little drum loop or some other sound melody from another artist to put into their music. EVERYONE has been doing it for ages! It´s no secret. Did you know there is a company who each year pic out a "COLOR tone" and tell EVERYONE and all the companies and fashion industry that this will be... THIS YEAR´S COLOR TONE - and everyone just agrees and does it. LMAO That is very bizarre , but that is true. Same thing happens with Font types. Someone ( I dont know their names) chooses a font style/type and says... this will be the font most likely to be in "fashion" this year. So most products have that same design on them. This is a crazy planet. I think it was the poet Oscar Wilde who once said, " imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - that mediocrity can pay to greatness" LOL It´s true. It is true. Everyone copies a great idea... if it will sell MORE to the public. Here are a few examples ... Henry Ford steals the idea of manufacturing more (cars) in less time by copying the Heinz Ketchup company and how they work. It was not the Ford company who invented the moving assembly lines, he just perfected it. Who do you think invented the Breakfast cereal? Post cereals copies the secret recipe from Kellogs for a "better tasting breakfast cereal" - before Kellogs releases its own brand. LOL But it was actually Quaker Oats who invented the idea for a breakfast cereal. Who cares! They all taste good to me. Plagiarism and copy-cats are everywhere, and there is no way to stop it. Never. Ever. So next time you buy something, look at the lettering or the color of the item , and wonder where it had its idea come from. I often do that when I go shopping myself. Many times. I am a very observing type of person and as an artist I too am guilty of sometimes taking an idea from somewhere else and use it. That goes for many other people who also take my ideas and use them for their own benefit. This is a crazy planet we live in. But at least it makes for a more adventurous life to live in. Otherwise it would be so boring. speaking of copy-cats.... here is what I just saw in the news today... A British grocery chain poked fun at Beyonce's new clothing line, which looks a lot like its uniforms ! LMAO https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/18/entertainment/beyonce-ivy-park-sainsburys-trnd/index.html

I tell you, she is just doing this to make me jealous.... BUT IT WILL NEVER WORK !

That is what it will sound like. Dark and mysterious .... with some added funky grooves to keep your feet tapping to the beat.

Sorry Lana, I am not going to buy another record version just because it has a new drum sample on it Besides, money is scarce around here. Even the banks have closed because they got no cash ,an the bank-robbers are leaving the place empty handed ! LOL What the fans REALLY want is a new album. Fresh new melodies and new groovy songs. Your sexy voice singing to us. RELEASE A NEW ALBUM ! Stop it with the re-re-re-mixes.

Actually, someone is hiding the thing under their bed. So you´re grounded until you put it out in the trash !

Those fonts are very familiar, but it´s pure coincidence. Those font-types are used quite alot in other artworks and publicity these days. I used them before too in some of my art stuff years ago. I think it was the artist Roy Lichtenstein who first began using them alot in his artworks back in the 1960s. Here is an example of his art... " POP ". --- https://artattack911.com/roy-lichtenstein-pop-art-great-first-friday-art-classes-art-studio/ He has done many others in the same fashion. Search Google-images for Roy Lichtenstein art by the way, you do have lovely nails

I would die for you I would die for you I've been dying just to feel you by my side To know that you're mine I will cry for you I will cry for you I will wash away your pain with all my tears And drown your fear I will pray for you I will pray for you I will sell my soul for something pure and true Someone like you See your face ever place that I walk in Hear your voice every time that I'm talking You will believe in me And I will never be ignored I will burn for you Feel pain for you I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart And tear it apart I will lie for you Beg and steal for you I will crawl on hands and knees until you see You're just like me Violate all the love that I'm missing Throw away all the pain that I'm living You will believe in me And I could never be ignored I would die for you I would kill for you I would steal for you I'd do time for you I would wait for you I'd make room for you I'd sail ships for you To be close to you To be part of you 'Cause I believe in you I believe in you I would die for you

These singers have voices that would complement each other in a song with Male Duets voices (Artists still alive) Lana Del Rey and Bono (U2) ... a rock anthem type song with a catchy melody that fills up giant stadiums Lana Del Rey and Sam Smith ... a film themed song with a 1950s-style melody Lana Del Rey and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) ... an out of this world rock-electronic ballad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ with Female Duets voices (Artists still alive) --- most likely the "DIVAS" will fight it out in the end Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift ... a rock anthem type song with a catchy melody that fills up giant stadiums Lana Del Rey and Adele ... a film themed song with a 1950s-style melody Lana Del Rey and Bjork ... an out of this world rock-electronic ballad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EXTRA = Duets voices (Artists not alive) --- Lana´s voice would have to be recorded over an existing song Lana Del Rey and Prince ... an R-n-B Motown-style song Lana Del Rey and Frank Sinatra ... a 1950s-style song Lana Del Rey and Freddy Mercury (Queen) ... a rock anthem type song

The best remake of a classic song. Lana´s voice shines ! Love this song Here in my country its been playing in the History Channel tv, but not the entire song , only with some lyrics. It´s like a trailer for their coming up documentaries and its about World War II.

...

Very cool video and a great song ! This girl has got STYLE. Congrats Lana !

She is only trying to make me jealous. But... that will never work !

Imogen is one of the most talented female singer+musician+songwriters I have ever seen. A very unique artist.

Cool font, Thanks. The 1950s-style poster is also cool. I love anything retro "pulp-fiction" style

No way ! I am SHOCKED ! Billie Eilish and her brother are cool musicians but she has just begun her career as a singer. To do a James Bond theme takes a TOP musician and singer to do it properly. Billie Eilish has just begun in her singing road-career, her voice still needs to mature more. They should have asked Lana Del Rey to do a James Bond song. I personally think Lana has that cool retro James-Bond theme singing voice. A sultry spy voice. Let Lana sing in the style of Shirley Bassie ! GOLD...Fiiiiinnnn...GERR !

I wanna be loved by you, just you And nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you, alone! Boop-boop-a-doop! I wanna be kissed by you, just you Nobody else but you I wanna be kissed by you, alone! Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire To anything higher Than, filled with desire To make you my own ! Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop! I wanna be loved by you, just you And nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you, alone! Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop! Daddle-at-dat-dat-dumb, I couldn't aspire To anything higher Than, filled with desire To make you my own Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dumb-bum! I wanna be loved by you, just you Nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup! Boop-boop-a-doop

Charlotte Aitchison has some nice songs, but I believe she uses autotune too much in her singing. Anyway, the fans seem to like it, but she has potential to become even better than what she is now.
