- After looking at this album cover I guessed the genre was Punk, this was because of the artists mohawk hairstyle as this was a hairstyle which the subculture of Punks used to have. However the genre is actually electro, dance.
- The artists mouth is very large mouth (editted), which suggests masculinity and also that she may be singing about social issues which may upset some people.
- Through this album cover, the artist does not conform to the mainstream. As, females are stereotypically known for being pretty and attractive, however Grace Jones has not shown this through her album cover. Instead she looks masculine through the way she is posing and her mohawk hairstyle.
- The broken glass surrounding her shows forms of aggression, aggresiveness -> yell of rage, power of her voice, nature.
- Her large mouth suggests her lyrics are more important
- Minimalist cover makes her stand out more than the album name and her name on the cover.
- There is not much colour used on the cover.
- The artist herself, Grace Jones, looks very unfeminine as she is wearing no earings, she has a mohawk, no jewellery, large mouth which all suggest masculinity.
- 'Slave to the rhythm' - this has a controversial and political edge.
- Facial expression suggests aggression -> this is emphasised and exaggerated by the long face
- She doesnt appear to look scared or in pain, shes yelling -> this suggests that her voice is powerful
- The cleff lines going across her mouth shows she has multiple tongues which could suggest the different topics/issues she sings about.
- Plain background is different to mainstream artists -> white background makes her stand out.
