The fact that HOMECOMING (2019) was the first time Beyoncé showed her face on album cover since 4 (2011) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Skull" aria-label="Emoji: Skull">
It& #39;s very fascinating to me. Because in pop (arguably more than any other genre) your music is so tied to your physical appearance/image, and for you to go almost a decade without putting your face on your product. Four consecutive projects without her face!
Lemonade is the only one with her body on it. I keep thinking about how big of a deal it was when Ariana finally put out a colored album cover for Sweetener, the evolution of album covers in relation to the artist& #39;s success trajectory is so interesting.
Views and The Pinkprint are arguably Drake and Nicki& #39;s biggest albums/eras. Drake is barely visible on the cover and TPP is Nicki& #39;s only album without her face/body on it.
Back to the point about Ariana/Sweetener cover. Remember when it was a *thing* when Lana finally smiled on the Lust for Life album cover??
I think I& #39;ll write about this. Would y& #39;all read it?
