406 Studio Brief 1 - Secret Seven, Electri Soul Covers

Sleeve Research -

review explaining the genre of the song -
'We’ve shared both of Jack Garratt‘s first two songs here earlier this year, and honestly the London-based musician just keeps getting better. Today he released his latest single right after finally announcing his debut Remnants EP set for a July release. “Worry” continues to expand Garratt’s unique, genre-bending style with touches of blue-eyed soul, and electro RnB. His soulful voice bounces over the subtle instrumental grooves with power and sensitivity. Garratt sings sarcastically to the woman who broke his heart, “Don’t you worry ’bout it.” It’s a sort of electro-soul “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright,” and Garratt’s expressive lyrics and masterfully crafted production make it extremely effective.'

research into how to reflect the genre/musical style -
to make sure the record sleeve represents the song as much as it here is research into other record sleeves for the same genre of music, this is so the song is instantly recogniseable as this style as people will associated it with the other common style of covers. Looking at covers for this genre will give a idea of the style of how the sleeve should be designs and allow any common feature to be seen, these are over people interpetations  of other songs in the song genre so dogs that will have the same musical style.
