The second one is so cocky. Come on, why would you even come up with such a stupid idea.
Where has the artistry in music gone?

Ouch you guys are mean. I like the second one. It makes you believe the hype.
The first one reminds me of something Usher did.

How about NEITHER? Go back to the drawing board Lloyd and whoever you paid to come up with that “whole lotta whackness”! In this day and age…tsk tsk. That looks like a cover for a new artist coming out with their very first “trial” single, in one of those cardboard things…not a veteran with a whole album. I’m disappointed.

BOTH COVERS ARE KIND OF PLAIN AND BORING
I LOVE THE DIFFERENT LOOKS HE HAD IN THE VIDEO WITH LIL WAYNE…VERY ARTISTIC AND NEW FOR LLOYD…I WOULD PLAY WITH THAT!

I like the first. The glare in the second need to be taken out. And if he was going to have fans reaching up to him he could at lease be on stage “performing” or something like that. But regardless of the album cover I’m loving what I’ve been hearing from his album and can’t wait to get it.

The Second One Would Be Hot If Lloyd Was Hot. Hes Not An Artist Id Want My Hands On. I Hate That Fake Spotlight. Both Cover Are Losers, Back To The Drawing Board. And I Hope He Steps His Performances Way Up, He Need To Work The Stage And Dance Better But I Do Like His Sexy Tone In His Speaking And Singing Voice, Its Very Relaxed And Player Playerish. Yes Playerish!

The first one Is the BEST, there is more room and space to put the album title and the lights at the top, soften the image and romantic suiting the album title. He looks like he’s reflecting although abit posey but yea.!!!!!! NO1# is more suitable to the title.

Lloyd, you are so cute! but you should have practiced making it sound less forced lol…it sounded like some Nickelodeon commercial…and I saw you @ Suntrust in ATL (west end) before, sexy!!! lol…(random)
LOL! This is also cute for concreteloop, that artists want US to pick it! Yall better go, CL! Guess yall have been the talk of the town in these companies PR meetings, huh?
I dont like either one, honestly…but If i had to choose - itd definitely be #1…
…in the second one, you cant hardly tell he has braids
…whats up with all the white peoples hands, clearly black ppl are goin to be the ones buying this album, and if you had to make the album “diverse” to appeal to a broader audience, use alot of different complexions, ones that range all over…
…that jacket is cute, but whats up with the V neck….i can understand fashion for the times but i think one of the main things that catch peoples eyes are timeless photos….this isnt a timeless photo
…#1 photo is too dark, and #2 is too light….can we get a more natural element to the picture?

2 looks so “im trying so hard, like me please” -ish

To Lloyd:
Neither really complements you or the tiltle of the album, please go back to the drawing board. But if your pressed for time and money at the moment I would advise you to go with the first one..
But I will by your album anyway because I’m impressed with your work lately.
Good Luck!

I prefer the first one. I think the title of the album makes more sense with the first one than the second one. I kind of feel there should be some type of connection between the title and the image of the album. I could not be convinced that the second one had anything to do with love. I do love you tho. lol.

he should cut his hair, cos in the second picture it looks like he has a one level cut/ceasar….that would look fresh on him….braids are kind of tired now IMO….very ‘04

Lloyd go with the 1st one PLEASE. It seems to fit the title of the album more. The 2nd one reminds me of the B2K Pandemonium album from 2002.

they don’t really fit the title of the album and like they said the second one is very cocky thats not a lesson in love and the first one is just there shoot ill design ur cover for u

Both of them are wack as hell. Can he be more creative please? How about a different background and different wardobe between the two? Not much to choose from. These covers look like some Wal-Mart stuff!

#1 is way better its more relaxing and looks like an actual cd cover
as for # 2 seems so cliche its been done to many times

Both covers look like a 1980’s disco album cover.
Don’t know if this was intentional or not but either way they’re both wack as hell.
Maybe if it wasn’t Lloyd…who by the way is NOT hot…then they’d look better.
So until they can come up with someone else to put on the covers, my vote goes to NEITHER!

AWWW HE SO CUTE!
DONT STRESS YOURSELF TOO MUCH LLOYD, JUST PICK NUMBER 2!
55.
let's not lie
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 /
actually the girls’ arms represent women of different races. i see like three dark-skinned chicks (one can be an indian chick, indians come in different shades just like us), there are probably some asian girls there and white girls and light-skinned latinas therefore you can’t tell the difference between shades. either way, stop saying those are all white girls when you can’t see their faces
and i say neither works. the first over the second but both kind of suck
lloyd is really sexy though so i wouldn’t mind any cover. besides i’m not buying his album anyway

Lloyd , you’re cool for letting fans (CL readers specifically) vote for your album cover. With that said, honestly neither cover catches my eye. It would have been nice to see your face
Since the title is “Lessons in Love”, maybe an image of you extending a rose to your audience or serenading them would have been more appropriate. These covers look aloof and distant.

He should have worn his hair out like in the “all around the world” video…..Now that would make me buy the CD. IDL his hair in these shots. Neither looks like a cover maybe inside pics.

That was a brave thing to do asking people on CL to choose your album cover, some of the comments are so harsh! I have to be honest and say there wasn’t much to choose from, I expected at least 3 different looking covers but if I had to pick one it would be the 2nd one as it stands out a bit more. Not too keen on the type style used for the name lloyd it looks a bit too plain (sorry). However it’s what’s on the album that matters and l thing he is getting better as an artiste.
