Culture: The album art game: Rihanna looks much better than Chris Brown

  • Rihanna’s cover OK, let’s say you’re a pop star who was all over the press for about six months because your famous boyfriend attacked you violently. It creates some dark times in your life (especially after the post-beating PHOTO of you got leaked). How do you promote your next album? With a dark, two-tone cover and a scorned woman look. Dear Rihanna: Your PR people are awesome. source

  • Chris Brown’s cover OK, let’s say you’re a pop star who was all over the press for about six months because you beat your famous girlfriend. It makes millions of people critical of you. How do you promote your next album? Looking like the Black Ziggy Stardust trying to recreate the “Space Jam” film poster on the set for the Michael/Janet Jackson “Scream” video. Dear Chris: Your PR people suck. source
