i think everyone has different reasons for not liking it but for me personally, yes 😭 

 

records to me are just very nice pieces of art that happen to go hand in hand with a body of work i enjoy, but if the product isn’t serving beautiful artwork realness, then im just gonna go to spotify idk!

yes? i mean my ears are glad for her porn music but i think my eyes deserve the same
so what? delete that green scat NOW

AHAHAHAH I FUKKEN KNEW IT.

When I saw the cover I said to myself "F@gs are gonna lose it because it's going to look ugly as fuck on their walls" and I was RIGHT.

(I myself would like something more majestic as album art, HOWEVER, I've got plenty of albums with lackluster covers that make it up on my displays from time to time, so I'm truly unbothered)

this woman has you all absolutely pussy whipped talking about “i see the vision” when it’s 4 letters in sans serif font on a green background LOL

Except the bland minimalism actually does have some vision. She's been on some vibe about "UK Rave bangers techno party rager club" shit, and if you've ever actually gone into a lot of those genres and sub-genres behind it (house, rave, dnb, breakbeat, techno, hardstyle, etc.), those albums and covers - there's shit that's been released that's vinyl only, sometimes it's literally just a blank white label slipcase with a sticker on it. Pulling from my own knowledge/experience - my ex is a DJ and he plays, exclusively, these genres, and specifically a lot of ones that originated and came out of the UK rave and music scene. He also exclusively only spins vinyl when he's performing at clubs, and his collection is filled with plain black records, in simple solid slipcases and covers, with next to no other details on them aside from random stickers or sharpie marks and that's it. That's just how that whole movement rolls.

 

The minimalism of the cover does actually pay a lil homage to the genres and vibe she's been talking about pulling from, so while it's boring as shit, it DOES fit the bill, as much as everyone is yucking the yum.

I’m just glad we’re finally over with what seemed like 5 years of a CRASH tour 

This is so true - the soundtrack and features we were given during that time post-Crash release did not feed me the way I needed

i hate to be that person but the endless tiktoks and useless texts already made me lose excitement for this era but after this album art and the release date being in summer, i’m not feeling this era and pretty much not excited anymore… but i’ll see what happens i guess 

[icyyypisces 72]

I'm sorry y'all are fake liking the basic album cover to feel edgy but would hate on it if it was an artist that you don't stan.. We are supporting and giving money (in a society where no one has much money anymore) to this project, effort is sexy!

I'm sorry but you have gaslighted yourself into thinking that everyone who likes the cover is faking it, just so that you can feel edgy about ''exposing'' us ''pretentious people'' and cause doing that most definitely is easier than accepting that your opinion isn't always the right one (cause no opinion can ever be ''right'' after all) or accepting the fact that you do not understand/like what this era is all about.

1. About to make the order public

2. it’s the same vinyl from yesterday

people let's use our brains… it's obviously not the real cover. even IF the real cover is indeed a black text over solid neon green background, it will absolutely not be that lq stretched mess. charli might be a troll but she's not THAT much of a troll to have her album cover be that, she also said she was into lying this era and y'all are falling for her lies 😭😭

The logo that's used on her website is pixelated as well. It's part of the aesthetic, give it up delicious

You gays need to realize a lot of the best album artwork isn't a photo of the artist. Matter of fact, it's actually ONLY female pop artists for the most part that use a photo of themselves as album artwork. CLUB ALBUMS ESPECIALLY are rarely ever a photo of the artist.

Men used to go to war.
Women used to raise families, generations, even.
A group of people could come together and really accomplish something in history, once.

Now we all just sit around, surrounded by modern conveniences and luxuries, and collectively loose our shit over.....

mmmm i think you might be a bit optimistic that things are gonna change. p sure there's gonna be other versions of the cover but the creative direction for the campaign is actually super intentional and set in stone, and it is lq pixelated stretched text. no aesthetic is the aesthetic, anti-graphic-design is the graphic design. huge choice for her to go lower case for the xcx too, that hasnt been done since 14
