Album cover

On my third double page spread i had a gap at the bottom which needed filling, so i looked at some music magazines such as Kerrang and NME for inspiration of what to put there. I decided to do a review of the artists upcoming album. I noticed when magazines did this they included a copy of the album cover, so that audiences could see what the album looked like, as this not only appears on album cover but is also on mobiles and ipods as the album artwork. I looked at album covers but other artists in the genre such as Florence and the Machine, from this i decided to keep my album cover simple with the main focus on the artists. I included this on the double page spread along with the review of the album.

Album Review Draft

This London born indie star, has only now decided to crack the states. When Bethany George burst to prominence two years ago, with her quirky fashion sense and unique voice, it was hard not to fall in love with her and her music. After her debut albums huge success, she’s back, even better than the first time, with her second album ‘Here We Go Again’, which has everything from indie to rock and even a hint of country, what more could you want? Her first single ‘Feel the sound’ is everything you would expect, with a smooth indie-soul sound paired with beautiful lyrics, its magical to listen to. However. The most impressive use of her singing skills comes on the restrained ballad "Love After War", a live recording on which her extemporisations and vocal flourishes break the lyrics down to a series of stuttered phrases, before smoothly picking up the slack. Overall this album is a great listen, to brighten up those rainy days, or to bring a smile to your face.
