Album Analysis

The album cover above belongs to Devlin; the album is called “bud sweat & beers”. The background image is off a brick wall that although simple has many connotations. The wall can show that Devlin himself grow up on the streets and that this is where his music originates from. However the wall can also symbolise a building and that Devlin is building his career as this is his first album. The sense that he is a growing artist is also shown through the tree in which is growing on the wall, showing that once again this is the start and that there is more to come from him. The album name reflects many views on teenage life as it gives both sides of being a teenager. “Bud” and “Beer” show the ad side a teenagers life and that life is not always pretty however the use of the word “sweat” shows that Devlin is a hard working artist and that is has taken a lot for him to keep on the right track , this could be reflected in his lyrics. In addition to this the basic nature of the cover shows that he wants the music to be the main attraction to his fans and not the cover itself.
