Major Lazer X DJ Snake - Lean On The CD cover of this single features a cartoon image which covers the majority of the front cover. This is a man who seems to signify one of the artists who is featured on the single. He is sat in the lap of an indian god-like elephant. This is effective in two ways: 1) The cover correspods with the music video, which is set in India and feautures native temples with similar spectacles as the elephant, and 2) The image plays on the name of the song as the man is physically leaning on the elephant. The cover is in an eye catching bright green colour, highlighting the man who is wearing different bright colours. At the bottom of the front cover there is the title of the single aswell as the artists it features in a cartoon bubble writing effect font. Overall the cd cover represents the artists in the fun and exciting way they like to be seen, which is parallel to the beat and feel of the song. The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer This cover features a realistic oil painting in the centre of the cover on a plain neautral background, on top of the image is a box which contains the name of the song as well as the artists names. As the main image is in the centre of the cover, it draws the audience in more to what is happening in the picture. The painted image features a man and woman holding eachother, which corresponds with the songs title 'Closer'. You cannot see much of their faces, just their tattoed bodies, which is eyetching and mysterious to whoever is viewing the cover. The font used in the title is bold so it stands out, yet serious, unlike the bubble writing in 'Lean On'. The colours throughout the front cover are very neutral and subtle in comparison to Major Lazer's CD cover. Overall i believe the CD cover does not represent the style or genre of the artist or song in a typical way. Most dance electronic songs, have a cover that is bright and fun to correspond with the style of the song. This cover seems as though it would be for a song in the soul music genre. However this is interesting as it is so different to what would be expected.
