The most prominent part of the front cover of this album is the album title, 'True'. The font of this text is like it is painted on by hand. It is almost urban in its style, however, by making it a crisp white colour, it makes it more of a 'clean style' which is more representative of the laid back R&B/dance chill-out style.
Although the artist is featured, they are in a silhouette style, suggesting they are not the focus. It could be a representation of the music, which although usually includes singing, there is a large amount of post production editing, with different synthesized instruments and effects.
The artist is wearing a hooded jumper and a cap, which is also a common feature for R&B artists. However, it is not over the top, as it often is, where the artists ooze confidence, making themselves seem 'gangster'. This artist is looking away, and it looks as though he is actually trying to make himself look smaller. This shows the cross-genre, the R&B and then the less 'celebrity' style of the dance and chill-out genre.
The bands name is written in the same font through all their albums, and therefore makes it more of a logo. This would increase the 'branding' of the artists, making them instantly recognizable, whether it be on social media sites or album covers. It would therefore act as an advertising tool, as people who may like one song, would look out for their logo in other songs.
