Vicixs 3,262 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 As someone that does graphic desing (it's my passion lol), I think this cover is GENIUS. The girls that get it, get it. Religion is a product to sell. 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elohim 1,456 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Good sis is walking around half naked to basically every event, and complaining about people demanding to see women body on album covers. I don’t mind the cover album (I actually find it cool) or whatever she’s wearing, but just stop bullsh*tting around with all these nonsense 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Lovers 6,439 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I acknowledge her talent but Charli has always given me the impression that she's unfortunately one of those people who thinks they're far more subversive and innovative than they truly are. And what's that done is lead her down this strange path of lecturing people on social media as if they're all too stupid to understand the concepts she employs, when they're in reality not that complex. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSine 6,090 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 You know, I'm not even mad at it. I think it's just the arial font that makes it look blegh. "👁 Hate U" 💜🩷🩵 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorehound 3,649 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Ok her album cover is so punk It's not about it "looking good", it's about rebelling against the norm. Once again this demonstrates that most people just don't understand art. People all said the same thing about Tracey Emin's 'Bed'.

Versace 7,860 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There are so many simple covers that people come to love. She could have easily used a better font/backdrop and the backlash could have been less. This cover screams lazy, done in less than a minute vibes. And I’m saying this as someone who likes her music. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 'brattiest' move she could've made. It's punk. Edited March 15 by Gorehound I'm fine, Ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arca, WAS THIS YOU?? I disagree with your point, but I can see where you're coming from! To me, the fact that she was still touring for Utopia until December 2023, and that she barely added any Fossora tracks to the setlist demonstrates she's not **that** into / stuck in an "era" mindset.

Leoooo 2,249 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I respect it but Its like she's made the cover for mysoginists, rather than fans, which is slightly off-base imo considering they wont be the ones enjoying the music (or artwork) anyway, but lets just see if the music / visuals pull it all together Edited March 15 by Medusa Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like bjork never really acknowledged it in such a…conscious way prior to the last couple of years and I wonder what spurred that on. Her eras were always more…organic. Like fossora felt for the first time like she consciously considered the image she was inhabiting whereas every other album felt like it quite naturally came about during the process. She even said herself in most cases she didn’t really see what these images were until well after the fact, that is until fossora where she came *into it with the image and the music together Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut her some slack bc covid and also for an indie act, legendary as she is, I imagine cornucopia was HUGE expensive for her. All that said, my point was more that I think in past eras it’s been clear from her own admission that the “image” became clear much later on to her and this was the first era she seemed to have the image and music developing hand in hand to a point where this era is when she made a whole a podcast series on the images of her career. Like this era seemed to be very very *consciously visual whereas I felt her past eras were less cohesive visually. Even Homogenic, the homogenized album, you have videos as disparate as alarm call, Jóga, and bachelorette and which are *nothing like the cover art. If there is that visual character throughout, it’s certainly not as consciously thought of which puts less constraints on her creativity imo and also lets the character and era blossom kind of organically through themes and tropes and such rather than thought out visual parameters. But fossora the visuals are pretty singular and focused—dark red, teal, mushrooms, etc. like even the videos that deviate like ancestress and ovule still carry that red throughout. It feels a little mood board-y. theyre not bad visuals, per se, but I point this out to say I think she was just more consciously aware of this “tarot” thing she’s described this time and i felt like it showed—sometimes good (ancestress), sometimes so so (fossora and the album cover).
