This is Lily Allen's first album cover; 'Alright Still'. The album reflects Lily's unique genre of music, as she has many different styles, merged together. The black and white suggest a jazzy style, however also create an urban image, and both of these genres are certainly visible in her first album. Similarly, in both top corners there are hands, one doing a peace sign, and the other doing a rock sign. This gives off more ideas of Lily's genre of music and her music agrees with both the rock and more hippie genres of music. The cartoon images portray that the star is in a world of her own, and is playful and imaginative. This is very similar to her video LDN, where a cartoon effect is used. The album cover contains many random images and this mirrors Lily's quirky personality and fashion, for example, the cat, goat and the taxi.
The back of the digipack continues the random quirkiness seen on the front, which is visible through the numerous fonts and the multi use of shapes. The punching hands signify Lily's at time aggressive personality which is also shown through some of her lyrics, for example "Fuck you very much".
Lily's album cover has really inspired us for our's because we feel our music is of a similar genre. We like the idea of using a black and white background and filling it with colour.
