Brief :
To recreate an Album cover for a music artist (or a group of artists)
Music Artist :
LSD- Labrinth, Sia, Diplo
LSD
LSD is a supergroup comprising British musician Labrinth, Australian singer Sia and American music producer Diplo. The ensemble has released four singles, all of which appear on their EP Mountains, released on Spotify on 2 November 2018. They announced their debut album on 11 March 2019, to be released on 12 April 2019.
Fun fact about the supergroup is that all the three members belong to three different continents. The crazy ideas that they have put together to make music always find a spot in the charts of “arguably the best psychedelic albums ever”.
“You’re saying those words like you hate me now. Our house is burning when you’re raising hell”
LSD takes you to a different dimension altogether, and somehow manages to bring your childhood back through their whacky videos. It's like a lot of different genres mixed together- Pop, Quirky, Romantic teamed with a 50s sort of old-school production.
Sia and Labrinth trade off singing over a Diplo beat. “Here in the ashes your soul cries out, but don’t be afraid of these thunderclouds.”
Yes, they're painting the romantic summer we’ve all been looking for.
The dreamy sentimental tempo is paired with melodic lyrics to paint the picture of this stormy love romance.
The album we’re focusing on, ‘Thunderclouds’ is like having a big fight with someone that you love, but knowing that even if you have an argument, life is still gonna be okay and you're still gonna be the best of friends you ever were.
The song portrays that how when you're looking for something (the thunderclouds), there will be some alchemy to harness the powers.
It can be compared to playing game, where the sky is a desert and you're chasing something (thunderclouds).
Styling Elements :
The way the trio represent themselves as a group, it's like an amalgamation of their exaggerated individual personalities. They have super powers, they're fun loving fools and they aren't afraid of bringing out their real selves.
Their style here can be described as -
Animated - They played puppets in one of their songs and animated their characters through exaggeration in other albums as well.
Quirky - The usage of exclusive props, headgears and wigs and every possible quirky element can be spotted in their music videos.
Vibrant and Popping - All of their songs are colorful and vibrant with an exciting color palette and contrasting colors.
