I will be using a different cover for my music library if this is what they're going with.

I really hope the album is phenomenal and makes me only care about the music because the team just doesn't feel that engaged on this record. I mean, seriously, HBS was released 2 weeks ago and we've had exactly no promo?

They should have done something like the teaser for the box set (the just white with little hexagons or whatever) Except had a TON of the hexagons and have her face peeking through - so at a quick glance it just looks like hexagons, but when you look closer it's Kelly. I'm no graphic designer and I could have made that 100x better. Can we start a petition? This is EXACTLY what I meant. And whoever made it made it even better than I could have imagined. Bravo. I've been so irked by those covers I spent ten minutes making my own. AHHHH I didn't even see this I was so distracted with the other one. This is freaking phenomenal as well. And it took you 10 minutes? I'll hire you for my album cover ;)

I think they did this 2 months early? That was a sharp turn from this :( I know the music itself will say otherwise but for a lot of people, if they will see that cover the album might come off as uninspired.

What is frustrating to me is that Kelly's determination not to "conform" to industry standards when it comes to her image and anything about her job visually(videos, photo shoots, etc) is that the more she doesn't care about her image the more her image gets talked about and to the general public overshadows her music at times. It's having the reverse affect. Ding ding ding. It's never going to be "just about the music" with her when she's not putting any kind of effort whatsoever into any other aspect of her career. This era is giving me My December teas already and what's sad is that it'll probably not even achieve the level of success MD did. I'll partially disagree with this, only because My December was a definitive statement, however one may feel about it. She believed in that album, was fully involved in its execution, and did all the promo she could do for it; it was a matter of her vision butting heads with what the label (mainly Clive) wanted. Oddly enough that album was her best cover and the inside artwork was great too. Piece By Piece is feeling like the start of a mess because it's almost the exact opposite of that. She doesn't seem to be at odds with RCA, but she barely seems invested in doing anything beyond rotely releasing the music, having a couple of radio interviews, and going on a planned tour. The cover is the least of my worries actually - I'm more concerned about how she has done almost nothing for HS yet when her album release is only a month away. She seems happy and unbothered so of course that's a good thing for her, but it's kind of sucking for her new era! Of course I'm just being a selfish stan, but I'd like her to be happy and unbothered and promoting. I think the album cover(s) on their own would not be anything to fret about, but I also think most of the fans are on edge because HS hasn't started taking off the way we thought it would or should, and she hasn't done anything to try to nudge it along a bit quicker. I almost feel like maybe she should have taken off a little more time, waited until she was really in the mood to take on a new era. So that is one thing I would say this and MD have in common, because I think she needed an extra year to herself back then too, for different personal reasons. Even if she is mentally moving on from pop, she is too young to give up entirely on pushing her stuff. But then, if this is her mentality from here on out then taking more time off would be pointless and I guess we should just get used to it. And of course this freakout could all be for naught and then she blows me away with all the effort she puts into this later. Maybe she is saving all the big guns for the duet and we just can't see that yet. I will say the same thing I said before Me. I Am Mariah. came out, and that is that I never worry about the actual music. It's all the other messiness that sometimes gets in the way. So I'll do my best to remain focused on anticipating the music.

Oh, and not that anyone needed me to state the obvious again, but those two covers that AllIEverWanted and Jack posted are fantastic :'( the one AIEW posted, in particular, was pretty much what I was thinking when I suggested taking her picture and breaking it up into hexagon pieces. The use of color is so much better than what I even imagined, though.

I love using the Citizen shoot photo but the font looks like it says Biece by Biece.

They say your other senses get stronger when you go blind. So this means the new music should be better than ever, right?

I mean c'mon Kelly you look like you have a bad case of flu, severe allergies and a migraine. Is the tour gonna be sponsored by advil? Tylenol? Ugh. Perhaps maybe people will buy the album thinking they are supporting a non-profit organisation or a good cause. Love you still and can't wait to see you on tour! But why? Seriously?

I had hoped the cover would be similar to HS's single cover, which I loved. I might have been able to deal if at least she hadn't been giving bitchface. Where's the happy cover to go along with those happy songs she was writing? Or something ethereal?
Too bad the box set doesn't look like it has anything special worth the higher price.

I couldn't imagine caring so much about a CD cover. As a fan, I'm looking forward to a CD full of new music. All that I care about is whether or not I like the songs, the rest is meaningless to me.

I am laughing so hard right now, she is trolling us big time this era. Well, it's officially real. " kelly๐ท๐_clarkson: @ammonster Hey I picked my cover, suck it haha! I love the kaleidoscope effect! You get 5 of me! What more could you want haha :)" I'm so done right now. LMFAO. That cover and some of those awful, basic ass Katy-cliche lyrics. The vocals better slay because this era has not hooked me yet.
