Album Cover Art

[Jac]

No doubt about it, the music industry is changing, and fast.

Streaming has now taken over.

So how important is Art on album covers.

l think it was said 317 billion albums was streamed a few yrs ago, that's 317 billion art cover images.

'streaming didn't destroy the need for album art, it made it more important.'

l love album cover art. But are Musicians trying too hard ? l love the Art from years ago, it was simple and drawn attention. not sure where it's going now.

crockery and salt cellars  etc in the skyline'
