Would love a normal Prince real life picture album cover, its been years since we got one of those.

Well I wouldn't say 3121 is a terrible cover - I like it. His shadowed profile. 3121 on the jacket. Its all good. The rest you mentioned are not among his best.

I totally agree. 3121 looked like he/someone actually thought about it for more than 5 minutes before hiring someone's nephew to do a cover for $10.

Wasn't 3121 the first official album where he reclaimed "Prince"?

Maybe I'm applying to much meaning, but when I saw 3121's cover I thought...

"3121 on Prince's Back" = "3121, Prince is back"

The text and title is a bit naff, but great artwork!

I agree. Great artwork but, crap font. They look like matchsticks.

Great painting, and a cool album cover. I agree with others about the corny font, and also with those who say the full pic is better than the cropped one.

He reclaimed Prince a long time before 3121. One Nite Alone, The Rainbow Children, NEWS, and Musicology are all "Prince" albums.

No - TRC, ONA, NEWS, Xpectation and Musicology were all released under the name Prince and prior to 3121. You couldn't have looke that up?

Sorry I just posted too. Didn't see this.

Looks like his head is cut off! creepy.

Where are people getting that this is the cover of a new album?

I don't see any signs pointing to a new album, maybe a single, but lets be real...anything promised by Prince as of late is never fully executed.

Maybe Prince will drop this joint on his birthday?

Just speculation on my part.

I think it has to be cropped otherwise it would be too small .It's about striking a balance. Remember the Batman cd cover??

AOA? Anyway, I like it cropped, will fill the cd case perfectly. Love it.

Yup, needed to be cropped for a CD.

AOA is not a real pic, if it is, it is airbrushed and reworked to the point of cartoonism.

I think it's watercolor and china ink

Brilliant work, and good reward for the talent of Clémentine http://blule.fr/colourupyourday

I checked her blog about one or two years ago, now I regret I didn't ask her some of her to illustrate my novell with her drawings b4 she gets famous !

I like this cover, probably his best since Rainbow Children or NEWS.

My attemot at better crop and simpler font

I commissioned this painting from Clementine earlier this year. Love her work. Now the original is hanging on my bedroom wall!

Better off just writing the title on the spine - art that nice shouldn't have text plastered over it (Sign and Lovesexy, for instance).

Also, yes, better uncropped - more colour.

The artwork itself is good. Prince's pose is similar to recent Lotusflower and AOA album covers tho. I'd like to see a different promo shot or album cover... such as Prince mowing the lawn, scrubbing dishes, or at the soundboard/working in the studio.

I'm buying a print of this - had to see if she can ship to our PO box here in Costa Rica we dont have addresses here.....

if she can ship here, I'm going to commission a painting of my dj hubby for his birthday
