Really the only thing about it that irks me is having the text across the bottom. Album cover text (generally speaking) SHOULD be at the top (or at least the artist's name) Anybody a Wizard with Photoshop that they could blank out the existing text of Stevie's name and put it in black (same font) across the top? Just interested to actually see how that would look.

I am so glad to see so many Ledgies have taken a stand--one way or another--on this issue.

I can't wait til we do a poll comparing the new Lindsey album cover and the new Stevie album cover! yay!! Get on it, Lindseyspeople!

And perhaps after the album actually comes out we can do a poll of all of Stevie's album covers to determine the favorite.

Good point Chili. I know I'm old & people actually shopping for albums/CDs is a rarity these days, but people flipping through them aren't going to see the title & might flip right past it. I mean, you'll know what it is if you're a huge fan & know exactly what you're looking for, but casual shoppers?

Right but didn't you fear for the album even before the cover was revealed.I didn't vote because I'm ambivalent about it. I just don't think album covers matter as much as they used to during the age of vinyl.As long as the album is good I really don't care that much about the cover.

In a way, I'm glad Stevie just does what she wants. Otherwise, she might change something like this and I think it's great.

I agree. I think it's her best ever album cover.

The distortion reminds me of Aleksandr Sokurov films.

Yes I did fear the album. This cover did not help. I know it's irrational to base it on a cover....but the worry is there regardless. Fingers crossed that the cover does not match the contents.

I thought you were gonna say it reminds you of Frank Borzage films!

Personally, it reminds me of mid-period Godard & late-phase H.R. Puffnstuff.

Default Not good

The bubble is irritating...like when you look into the sunlight and have to squint. Her retouched face is awful....looks like she's about 15....is Stevie afraid of aging? Embrace your age, Stevie, you are a beautiful 62 year old woman! The horse-and-enchanted-forest is so stereotypical...looks like she's copping to the "airy fairy" image that people make fun of.....Why didn't she use one of the Secret Love photos for the album cover? The one of her behind the piano, or the one with the mirror frame and the beach in the background, are both much better than this.

I don't think Stevie is afraid of showing her age, and I doubt that the retouches to the photo were done with the intent of concealing age or wrinkles or crow's feet.

In the end, it's an album cover - it's meant to be a work of art which represents the feel and mood of the songs on the album, so I think a little artistic liberty is ok.

I still say that the picture is NOT MEANT to be blown up to
Three times its size and focused in on her face. If they wanted the first and foremost focus to be her face than they'd have done a close up.. its meant to be viewed as the
Entire image. They've taken the no nonsense route before with street angel. Simple picture of just her then block lettering. I didn't mind that cover either but a lot of people hate it too
