Cover Art

A running collection of single, EP and album artwork designed by Offstage for artists across Afro-pop, gospel, R&B and alté.

Cover art is the first thing anyone hears about a record. Each of these started with the music — a stem, a rough mix, a voice note — and a conversation about who the artist wants to be by the time the song lands.

Some are photographic and cinematic, others typographic and flat. What holds them together is restraint: one idea per cover, built to survive being shrunk to a thumbnail in a streaming feed.

The set keeps growing as new releases roll out.
