I love it. I was so afraid we were just going to get a plain shot of the Vegas picture with that purple writing. This is much more interesting.

Incredible! It's giving me goddess/meditative vibes... like she's unleashing herself. So her in the middle finding peace and the left and right "shadows" freeing the good and bad feelings/parts of herself from the relationship. Ties SO well with descriptions of this being an album about the overall arc of a relationship. I'm so excited this album.

Love it! It gives Florence + The Machine meets 'Sorry officers, I don't know. My ex-husband died under mysterious circumstances.'

That cover is IT.
It’s gripping, different, and stunning.

Was definitely expecting the cover to be more on-the-nose, but definitely her second best (My December remains unmatched.)

I definitely get why she said we’d want that cover in a vinyl size.. I totally see it.

STUNNING. EASILY her best album cover since My December, which really excites me for the kind of album we’re about to get.

I actually liked the 'Meaning of Life' album cover. The 'Piece by Piece' one though was absolutely atrocious.

Agreed! Best album cover since My December.
BTW, someone on ATRL is saying that there’s an 18 second clip of Mine available to stream on Spotify in East Asia right now.

I don't know if I'm just in the minority or if everyone is forgetting it/not counting it, but I believe this is her best album cover since Wrapped in Red. (Though I do love seeing the praise for My December's cover because it truly is gorgeous too.)

Oops, I actually did forget about Wrapped In Red, but I think this cover is better, so I am sticking to my original story.

In Europe too! Sounds really good: very sassy instrumental and vocals! Genre wise.. I'd say pop rock (but not Breakaway-ish)
More lyrics: Someone's gonna show you how a heart can be used And you keep talking me to come back Karma is the truth I don't make you look bad You do, darling

Is there a song you could say it reminds you of? For those of us who can’t hear the clip.

Damn you quoted quickly. It's late and English ain't my first language.
Gosh good question. Doesn't remind me of any specific Kelly song.
It has a sassy vocal delivery that reminds me of Merry Christmas Baby.
It's kind of like pop mixed with soft rock.. and a bit theatrical like P!nk and Lily Allen in heartbreak songs. Am I making any sense?
For me it's intriguing :) Can't wait for the rest of it!
For me it has a similar vibe to this song (emphasis on vibe! not genre)
Now people are saying it's a mash up of mine and me. It's titled 'm/' I guess that is the cool n fun way of releasing it.

Definitely sounds like two different tracks, but the lyrics combined still sorta make sense? Plus it's basically the single cover zoomed in? I'm baffled and intrigued.

"Mine" lyrics:
You know I question every motive, everything you say, Thought with you maybe my heart wasn’t meant to break, Can’t believe I let you in, I can’t believe I stayed, as long as I stayed yeah, I hope one day someone will take your heart and hold it tight, make you feel like you’re invincible deep inside, And right when you think that it’s perfect, They cross the line, And steal your shine, Like you did mine,
Go ahead and break my heart that’s fine, (So unkind) Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, (Oh love is blind) Why am I missing you tonight? (Was it all a lie?) Someone’s gonna show you, How a heart can be used, Like you did mine,
And now I second guess my thoughts, Every step I take, I’m losing hope in love, And I’ve lost all in faith, Yeah for dreamer I just close my eyes and it’s all blank, I have you to thank yeah, I hope one day someone will take your heart and hold it tight, make you feel like you’re invincible deep inside, And right when you think that you’ll try again, They cross the line, And steal your shine, Like you did mine,
Go ahead and break my heart that’s fine, (So unkind) Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, (Oh love is blind) Why am I missing you tonight? (Was it all a lie?) Someone’s gonna show you, How a heart can be used,
And you keep talking, It’ll come back, karma, It’s the truth, I don’t make you look bad you do darlin’ Sabotage, Your choice of art, Who the hell do you think you are?
Go ahead and break my heart thats fine, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Why am I missing you tonight?
Someone’s gonna show you, How a heart can be used,
Like you did mine

That's definitely her best cover since My December. Maybe, ever? She wasn't kidding about it being worth getting on vinyl. That clip is giving Happier Than Ever vibes with the tempo switch. I really can't wait now.

I wonder if they are going to give us a piece of “mine/me” each day. What we have right now is a piece of the single art, and a piece of the “mine/me” title - the song is listed as “m/“ on Spotify. Perhaps the song title, single art, and snippet will all continue to grow each day, or something like that.
Just a guess. But I am so here for some kind of unique approach to rolling out the single(s) like this. Has an artist done something like this before? Would clips of a song count toward Spotify streams in some useful way? Maybe Kelly/Atlantic actually have a cool way of rolling this out after all!
