Genre Albums

In researching similar artists' album covers, there are multiple similarities in terms of colour, composition and relation to artists.

Daniel Caesar 
Rhythm and blues, Soul music, Neo soul
  • More abstract photograph, less focus on the artist or "star image".
  • High exposure and brightness
  • No inclusion of artist name or album name - subverts convention aside from 'parental advisory'
  • Inclusion of the parental advisory label



Ella Mai 
Contemporary R&B
  • Portrait shot of the artist, conforming more to the theory of the "star image"
  • Simplistic. The font creates the idea of being timeless, traditional. Also created by the choice of a black and white photograph. 



Sabrina Claudio
Contemporary R&B, Alternative R&B
  • Artist and Album title not included - less conventional
  • More heavily edited covers, colour tinted image (second album cover)
