Album coveRs #3
2009 came with a new project from Choolu. A new and exciting dancehall album combining Choolu’s talent with other reggae and dancehall artists from Israel. The album is called “SPECIAL” and it’s a showcase album of vetran and up and coming singers from Israel, singing on the same riddims (beats) in the tradition of Jamaican music. The main artists in the album are Choolu, Big Fishi (AKA Ben-Lavi), Bazooka, Nechi-Nech and Soul-J and featuring Vulkan and Magik as special guests. the Idea for the cover was to make them all look tough and keep it a little “dirty”… We had, Nir Yogev, a professional fashion photographer take the pictures and i did rendering and final design afterwards.
Here is the front cover:

This is the inside spread:

The stamp on the CD itself was actually a picture i worked a lot on.
The original picture was showing the singers reflection of sunglasses…:

and the back cover, with the same pic, and track list:

I’m still trying to figure out how to upload songs and media to the blog so in the meantime…
