Fiona’s long-awaited album The Idler Wheel (we can’t be bothered to include the 20 other words in the full title) will be released on June 26, and with the collection of new tunes from the singer-songwriter comes some, shall we say, interesting album art. Hoping for something a little bit more pleasing to the eye, a la Fiona’s cover art for debut album Tidal? Eh, sorry. We recommend you check out our exclusive live pics from the artist’s SXSW set instead. Track list below. More »

Is it 2009 all over again? American Idol‘s Top 2 guys from Season 8 are both releasing their sophomore efforts this year — Adam Lambert’s Trespassing will be released May 15, while Idol champ Kris Allen is back with Thank You Camellia. We’re not sure who Camellia is (could it be that super cute French bulldog by his side?) or why Kris is thanking her, but we’re hoping to have it figured out when his major label sophomore LP (which includes lead single “The Vision Of Love”) drops May 22.

Cher Lloyd Looks Quite Arresting In Her “Want U Back” US Single Art

Is wanting to make a splash on the US charts such a crime? Apparently so, given this SXWS performer’s new single artwork for her US debut single.  Not content to merely charm the pants off her native UK, British X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd is now poised to do the same in the United States, too. And instead of blasting us with that “Swagger Jagger,” she’s coming at us with the uber-catchy “Want U Back” — a good choice, since we haven’t been able to get it out of our heads since we first heard it. See the full sized pic after the jump. More »

Justin Bieber Does Double Duty On His “Boyfriend” Single Art

Justin Bieber forced his fans to make a tough choice last week — which of two adorable shots of the teen prankster would become his “Boyfriend” single artwork? And the answer is… drumroll, please… both of them! (Unfortunately, his battered-and-bloody Complex cover shoot was not one of the options.) The life-liver has elected to gift his fans with double the Biebs, double the fun, featuring two shots of his mug on the cover art — one in the foreground (the winner), one slightly faded in the background (the runner-up), both photo-edited to the max. (Like Justin Bieber even has any flaws to hide?) Catch the full-sized pic after the jump. More »

We’ve just received the weather forecast for May 1, and it looks to be: strange, with a chance of telekinesis. Stripper-loving rapper B.o.B has unveiled the covert art for his LP Strange Clouds, and there is indeed something unusual about the cloud featured here — for one, it’s indoors, and for another, the “So Good” singer seems to have conjured it up using only his mind. Neat trick! See the full-sized artwork after the jump. More »

Justin Bieber Unveils Dueling “Boyfriend” Single Covers

What’s a fan of Bully enthusiast and Punk’d prankster Justin Bieber fan to do? The teen crooner, whose single “Boyfriend” (out March 26) has been compared to music by Justin Timberlake, has posted two different single cover options for the song on his official site. The task at hand for all Beliebers is to vote for one by tweeting either #JBboyfriend1 or #JBboyfriend2 to Justin. (The winner set to be announced on Monday.) So which will it be, JB fans — angsty, shirt-half-unbuttoned Bieb starting straight at you or angsty, shirt-fully-undone Bieb looking away?

The Wanted are slowly but surely taking over the US, and we’re glad they came. (After being arrested on camera for MTV’s Punk’d, we wouldn’t be surprise if they were second-guessing their time in America.) The Brit boy band, whose US edition of their self-titled debut album will drop April 24, has offered up some brand new cover art for us Yanks. Compared to the cover art for their UK release, this one is a bit more striking, and adds a little bit of mystery to these fine fellows from across the pond. Do you like?

Life’s A Beach In Lana Del Rey’s Creepy “Blue Jeans” Single Art

Anyone who’s ever heard Born To Die should be well aware that Lana Del Rey’s idea of a day at the beach is bound to be different than, say, Selena Gomez’s. It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on in this “Blue Jeans” cover art (for her second single), but it looks less like fun in the sun and more like some heavily-tattooed dude is about to strangle this week’s American Idol performer on the bottom of the ocean floor. It’s a little creepy! And a little gorgeous! And a little NSFW! (Take a closer look at those tattoos.) Sort of like The Little Mermaid gone horribly awry. (Who wears “Blue Jeans” at the beach, anyway?) See the full-size single artwork after the jump. More »

Nicki Minaj Reveals ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ Deluxe Cover

Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album might be called Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, but she’s clearly having an Every Color Friday on the cover art of her LP’s 22-track deluxe edition. We weren’t sure the “Starships” singer-rapper could get messier than her appearance on the standard edition’s cover, but well, Nicki manages to surprise us once again. But seriously, we have questions: Why does she have Egyptian eye makeup on? Why is her right boob shaded white? Why is every inch of her exposed body Photoshopped to make her look like anybody but Nicki Minaj? Why? Why? Why?
