Certified Lover Boy
The new album cover that has social media going crazy.
September 2, 2021

Damien Hirst x Drake

Social media has gone wild over the recent Damien Hirst design for Drake’s new album cover. The much anticipated new album, Certified Lover Boy, has gone viral before its release date as Drake took to Instagram to share the Hirst designed album cover that consists of a dozen multiracial pregnant women in emoji form. The album cover has invited much speculation and caused downright confusion. It seems to invite speculation about Drake's virility or the possibility of paternity of multiple pregnancies. The images of pregnant women are true to Hirst’s style and are characteristic of the artist’s signature dot paintings.

The fusion between art and music is no new feat. Let’s take a look at other album covers designed by artists over the years.

Damien Hirst, Drake: Certified Lover Boy, 2021.

Jeff Koons x Lady Gaga


In 2013, Jeff Koons designed the cover of Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP single. Lady Gaga has often flirted with the art world and over the years we have definitely seen her transcend pop music and become an eclectic fusion of art and music. In keeping with the single, Koons designed a piece of art depicting Gaga in a variety of metamorphic roles. Additionally to the album cover, Koons created a larger-than-life sculpture of Mother Monster that he presented at Lady Gaga's 2013 Art Rave in New York.

Jeff Koons, Lady Gaga: ArtPOP, 2013.

Takashi Murakami x Kanye West

Back in 2007, Takashi Murakami created the cover for Kanye West’s album ‘Graduation’. This piece of art was truly iconic. Kanye’s bear is one of the most beloved mascots of hip-hop history. In 'Graduation', the cover emphasizes West's newfound prominence through bright colours and illogical action. Through manga-style drawing and brazen use of colour, Murakami rebranded Kanye in this iconic image.

It appears many critics are not pleased with the new Hirst designed album cover. It has been criticised as lazily self-referential and simplistic, whilst also inviting parodies and jokes at its expense.

We’d love to hear what you think on the matter! Comment below whether you think Hirst got it right or so wrong!
