Tinashe, a young up and coming artist in the pop and R&B genres released her sophomore album called Nightride recently with the above album cover which is pretty visually stunning in my opinion. The color palette while being quite muted still has depth and range which is visible in the color of the hands as well as the translucency of the nails. The complex shapes created with the hands, nails, face figures, and background are captivating and confusing which I think enhances the listening of the album’s experimental and moody R&B sound. The sharpness of the nails in contrast with the softness of the lips and facial features creates an uncomfortable juxtaposition that also emphasizes her femininity as well giving it a femme fatale vibe.
