Analysis of CD Cover for Lungs by Florence and the Machine


The main image in the CD Cover for Lungs depicts the artist, Florence Welch, standing in a forest, surrounded by birds and flowers. She wears a see-through dress and a plastic representation of two lungs hang from her neck as if replacing a necklace. The lungs, representative of the album title, cover her outside body where the lungs would appear inside her body. The choice of lungs as both the album's namesake and the visual image on the CD Cover could suggest connotations of life, as breath is needed for life, or singing, as her powerful voice comes from her lungs.

The artists' recording name, Florence and the Machine, is represented in logo form in a sans-serif, hand-written font. The cursiveness of this font suggests a hand-drawn, personal touch which allows the artist to connect with the audience on a higher level.
