I have looked into artists that are of a similar genre to the artist that I will hopefully have for my magazine front cover. One artist from the indie-pop genre that I am particularly interested in is Lana Del Rey.
Lana Del Rey is an American singer, songwriter and model who is quite successful and famous for her alternative and edgy style of music that comes under the genre of indie pop yet has rock and pop influences within her music which reveals the her versatility which is attractive for a music magazine as fans of a range of genres will be attracted to the magazine and so therefore having an artist similar to Lana Del Rey would be quite effective in appealing to a wide range of audiences. Lana Del Rey has a very contradictory style of music to other competitors within the music genre as there is an edgy and sensual ethos associated with her which is reflected within her music, image and style.
This iconic look associated with Lana is reinforced from the rolling stones magazine since the house style of the magazine is quite promiscuous due to the warm pinks, reds and yellows used. However, the use of this quite bold blue colour used for the main cover line 'Lana Del Rey' indicates her distinct and eye catching look since the title literally catches your eye as it stands out against the rest of the magazine and could imply that Lana stands out against the rest of the music industry due to her unique yet iconic image, which is what I particularly like most about her.
Also, Lana Del Rey has a very recognisable style due to her iconic yet slightly eccentric image associated with her, which conflicts with the conventions of the Indie-pop genre as other artists have a more casual and laid back image whereas Lana Del rey has a more urban and unpredictable style since all three images have very different styles such as rock and classic beauty which reinforces how unpredictable Lana Del Rey can be which will maintain the audience's attention and keep their interested in her.
I would like to base my artist off someone like Lana Del Rey as she an unusual artist that stands out against the other artists even within the indie genre as she goes against the normal conventions of the genre and the whole of the music industry and so therefore will draw attention to the magazine since she is highly recognisable.
