This is the first album cover I will be analysing. It is by Blackstreet, which is an American R&B group founded in 1992, and also the album is called Blackstreet.
This is their first album and the cover is most noticeable for its picture of the street and the lights. This could stand for a glimmer of hope and them hoping that they can be accepted for who they are. The top of the picture fades out and blends into a picture of the band, this could suggest that they feel as though they are at the top of the world because this is their first album. All of the band members are dressed similarly to show they are from the same background and because they are not white this could show that Blackstreet could mean time for integration.
Also the name on the front is shown as 'BLACKstreet' which also emphasizes the point that they are at the top. Also the BLACK in capitals is bigger than the street in lower case and the picture shows them at the top and the street down below. The font is in bold which makes it stand out. The picture is fair dark with not many light colours, this could show that the album is mysterious and also the darkness can connect with the name - Blackstreet.
The cover relates to many of the songs on the album because the lights are like candle and city lights so its relating to love, which is what most of the songs on the album are about.
