Seriously dudes, just looking at the new graphic with the globe, the corset [!], the air brushed face etc isn't it about time that P looked somewhere new for Inspiration. The TRC cover was a move in the right direction BUT on the whole his album covers, publicity shots etc have lacked so much imagination and for an artist like him it is such a shame.

I'll do it

i thought the 3121 album cover was really classic looking.

3121 was really good but Planet Earth =

it looks like a slapped-together teaser image, which i guess is exactly what it is. if this is actual album art, then...ehhh...

What the hell is "Planet Earth" anyways.



Don't give me an Airplane movie style answer

Oh man, I didn't notice the corset! I love corsets, but that man certainly doesn't fill it out.

But he's already done the ultimate album cover-Lovesexy! What more could u ask 4 r xpect?

a little imagination maybe rather than boring head & upper body shots!

didn't duran duran do this song in 81'
is prince stealing from other 80's pop groups that try to keep going.

hey ya'll i'm just joking.....

I wholeheartedly agree

He's got like 3 good album covers out of 30+ albums.

And I'm including the Black Album artwork here

I agree.

I was amazed that Prince's album covers were designed as beautifully as the music itself. I honestly had no idea.

Well HE obviously approved it so...

fair point and one to be filed under the 'WTF did he do that for' pile. Thing is if he were presented with better ideas he may open up a little. Remember the coffee table photo book from '96 [?], some really great shots in there. Just seems to be another part of his game that has wilted over the last 10 years.

kinda the same deal with the 'prince in hawaii' book. it wasn't the GREATEST layout of all times, but it was an interesting peek into prince's life, and with a little bit more push i'm sure it would have gotten some decent attention and maybe some better sales. looking back on that book, i'm kinda like "why did that happen???"

glad it did, though. it's a fun little collectible. just like the 'sacrifice of victor' book.

planet earth=world tour
