Based on the things I have learnt about Dan Wilkie, I think that his music would be apreciated by those who understand the importance of melody and the art of it's creation and manages to balance it all out with laid back and meaningful humorous inco-orporations. The genres of his music are pop and dance, although he refers to it as 'Baroque Pop'
So what other album covers can be classified to be portraying the genres? Why? As the cover below shows, it needs to be colourful, fun and the imge portrays a powerful, motivated person, just like when you dance as a form of exercise, and in the case of Madonna, there is a much more obvious link to the dance genre as it is typically associated with shine/glitter.
Some 'Baroque Pop' artists are How To Dress Well and Alt J.... And what i understand from this genre is that the overall genre values melody over lyrics. The album art below reflects this as there is no immediate associations with lyrics and hidden manigs/values of the music.
Here are their music:
Alt J - Something Good
How To Dress Well - Cold Nites
