CD Analysis

I chose to analyse this album cover because the connotations of Lily Allen are similar to those of Kreayshawn. The artist is Lily Allen, this connotes music that although is upbeat has angry and judgmental lyrics. Her style is very 'street' with big earrings and colourful clothes this reflects the same kind of style as Kreayshawn. The title of the album is ‘alright, still’ this signifies what the artist was going through with her drug and relationship problems; she was always just ‘alright’.

The font used is best described at linear bubble writing. This connotes fun and childish while still being a little edgy. The physical appearance of the star is approachable and common while still be a little intimidating. This intimidation is mainly construed from her facial expression.

The camera angle is straight on while she is slightly twisted away and cut off from the audience. The dominant image within the front cover is the artist; this suggests that she finds herself the most important thing about the album.The backdrop is filled with lots of different cartoons none particularly stand out, they add to the drug themes that are consistent throughout the album.

Mark Ronson produced the CD, this appeals to the audience because he is also a popular artist and is more connectable for a young audience who are also interested in him. The artist’s genre is pop but it has dark undertones this is signified by the colours of the album cover.
