Would this album cover be much, much better without the 3rdeye on the sunglasses? Since it's called "hit n run" I'm gonna imagine that the circle on his forehead is supposed to be a gunshot wound. It actually makes it better, imo. "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

Or the forehead is too big. What? | |

I hope the cartoon cover won't be used for the Official release of the Album well I had to make a fake album for a music project in school we had to make cover art & promo stuff for a non existing album & my fake Prince album actually looks better then that cartoon of Prince well long story short I got 20/20 & my fake cover art is better then Princes that's just sad All of this and more is 4 u. With <3, sincerity and deepest care, my life with u eye share ~Prince~
Life is time time is space and space is what Eye need ~Awesome A.V~ | |

Ugh, horrible cover. I've seen some nice pics of Prince so far in 2015, MOST of which would work better as an album cover.. he, through makeup, lighting, and effects, can make himself look 20 years younger but his album covers never show that. And what's up with this cover anyway? Is he trying to look like iOS 7? South Park? Maybe do, just not like did before | |

What's so bad about the cover art? | |

Doozer said: If an album cover is supposed to represent the initial indication of the care and artistry that went into the creation of the album, this might be the best album cover on a Prince record. Right on the money. . I hope I'm wrong when we hear the whole thing. But this-this-this-this-this is how I f-f-f-ff-f-f-f-f-ff-f-feel right now.

Nothing will ever be worse than NPS. That being said, this blows. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

There is a HITNRUN PHASE TWO cover on twitter with the same design but different colors not sure if it real or a fan art. | |

I like it personally. Minimalistic and simple, gives off a less tacky vibe than AOA. I like this whole art style actually i.e. their twitter avatars. It's just straightforward. | |

Im not a fan of this album cover... I really liked the art official age cove... it reminds me of all the classic prince albums. Like the selftitled album of 79, dirty mind, and controversy. but this seems like just a experimental album. Not a full focused release so it is what it is | |

the only thing that would make this album cover amazing is if the physical cd folds out to show all the different eras that the artist did. now that would be nice. | |

it really doesn't matter since I change the album/track art in iTunes.
But I would 4 real like to have a digital booklet with lyrics and credits. Is that really too much to ask for thse days?! | |

The LoveSexy cover is still my all time favorite: Unrepentantly sexy, innocent, free, coy, seductive, freaky (in a good way):
it's maybe only surpassed by this Hit N Run art because his hair is so great in pig tails:

I didn't notice the ginormous forehead till I read a comment about the receding hairline. Now it's all can see and I very much dislike the cover. I used to like it, but this forehead is KILLIN' me now. | |

The ATWIAD alternate/original commissioned art was to literal, I'm glad he went with the one with more obvious painterly brush strokes abstraction.

BTW, Is the "bear" hugging the tiger supposed to represent "a hot flash of animal lust" from Temptation? | |

I am listening to the album now and I really like it.
This is my illustration I created as an inspired cover piece for the album. I sent it into Hannah however I did not hear back. It looks like they chose the art from the Brittish artis as the album cover. http://jonathancaustrita.com

I don't think I like any of his album covers... Purple Rain is cool and Dirty Mind gives me a dirty mind ;-) Aside from those they all look really cheap. Especially from the 90's onwards. | |

It is more of the Prince strategy to appeal to teenagers Save America - Stop Illegal Immigration. God bless America. PEACE | |

Nice work, dude. He seems to really like vector based work and watercolours it seems though. | |
