Album cover, eeeeeh!

Exciting stuff!

Has anyone heard Bryan Ferry's new album? Dave Stewart cowrote on it; I've been listening to it over the last few days and I love everything about it. Thoughts?

I've only heard one song. But to me it sounds like every Bryan Ferry album sounds like it is attempting to recapture the sound of Avalon. In fact, I don't hear Dave Stewart's influence at all.

Didnt we think that was for the CD cover? Maybe these are for the inside art work....or maybe them photos on the beach didn't come out good....or...

None the less, Goooooooo Stevie!!

Easy, the photo shoot could have been for promo material, for the CD booklet, etc. I thought it was silly people were speculating that photo shoot was the album cover months ago when the project wasn't even finished, and the album had no name. You've gotta know what you're promoting to before you can come up with a theme to market it.

Would that apply to her original greatest hits collection Timespace and
Street Angel? If so care to explain?

Stevie's logic is not ours.

Ah, "Speculating" key word, what was I thinking! We tend to do that alot here ;-)

However... Love this one from imnotafraid: Stevis's logic in not ours!

Thanks bro.

Logically, it would seem this new CD might be a bigger project than most of her past solo efforts. Dave seems to be taking charge of the creative and pushing her into some new directions.

On another note, The Dallas Morning News had their annual "What's In/What's Out list this weekend, and making a resurgence they say, is the 1970s! So Stevie-mania might actually be right in step with the times.

Stewart isn't on Ferry's new album Olympia..it was Ferry's 2002 album Frantic that Stewart cowrote on which is also very good..I particularly like one they cowrote on there "Goddess of Love" about Marilyn Monroe.

I'm especially curious by what you mean regarding the part I bolded. Can you elaborate your thought train?

On your related note... the '70s being back in surprises me. I thought they'd gone back out several years ago? I'm noticing in very hipster-infested Austin that all the cool kids are actually wearing lots of early 90s clothing these days instead. Especially early 90s sunglasses seem to be hugely in vogue... you know, those damned things with the neon colored sides and such?

I've even noticed hipsters beginning to sport the early/mid 90s grunge button down plaid shirts now, too. Ugh... that whole 90s button down plaid shirt thing is a fad I really hoped would never, ever come back.

Maybe it is just Austin, but I have for sure noticed a resurgence in 90s fashion.

The fashion here in the UK at the moment seems to be edging toward 20s style tailoring with 70s style jeans and blouses. Not sure how I feel about all this but there are a lot of Stevie-esque sleeves (literally) floating around at the moment, which is nice..

I respect his musical abilities - not sure about his skills as a photographer. I really feel that Stevie should have placed the task of creating her first cover in 10 years in more capable hands, as in a photographer who only does photography. There are a lot of very talented photographers out there. I'm not sure Dave Stewart aka Jack of All Trades, is one of them. Sorry if this sounds harsh. I may be eating my words.
