  • You Can Judge an Artist by an Album Cover: Using Images for Music Annotation
    You Can Judge an Artist by an Album Cover: Using Images for Music Annotation Janis¯ L¯ıbeks Douglas Turnbull Swarthmore College Department of Computer Science Swarthmore, PA 19081 Ithaca College Email: [email protected] Ithaca, NY 14850 Email: [email protected] Abstract—While the perception of music tends to focus on our acoustic listening experience, the image of an artist can play a role in how we categorize (and thus judge) the artistic work. Based on a user study, we show that both album cover artwork and promotional photographs encode valuable information that helps place an artist into a musical context. We also describe a simple computer vision system that can predict music genre tags based on content-based image analysis. This suggests that we can automatically learn some notion of artist similarity based on visual appearance alone. Such visual information may be helpful for improving music discovery in terms of the quality of recommendations, the efficiency of the search process, and the aesthetics of the multimedia experience. Fig. 1. Illustrative promotional photos (left) and album covers (right) of artists with the tags pop (1st row), hip hop (2nd row), metal (3rd row). See I. INTRODUCTION Section VI for attribution.

  • She's So Unusual
    “She’s So Unusual”--Cyndi Lauper (1983) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Dale Sherman (guest post)* Album cover Original label Back of album When Cyndi Lauper was signed to Portrait Records to do a solo album in Fall 1982, the plans by those at the label for the recording sessions were not that unusual: place the spunky unknown in front of a microphone to sing songs producer Rick Chertoff had collected and be satisfied with a hit single or two. Little did they realize that Cyndi was not some waif-like innocent, unfamiliar with the big, bad world of the music business. Instead, through her determination to make sure her personality and creativity came through in the music, “She’s So Unusual” (released October 1983), would result in four U.S. top ten singles (and a fifth that made the top forty), multiple awards from the recording and video industries, and ultimately produce a legacy of material that has been remixed, reinvented, and interpreted by many fellow artists over the years. Born June 22, 1953 in Brooklyn, Cyndi had already been a professional singer for nearly ten years before beginning work on “She’s So Unusual,” and was quite wise to the inevitable ups and downs that come with making it in the music business. Cyndi’s early years in cover bands meant only long hours with little creative output, and eventually having to spend a long year with a voice coach to regain her four-octave vocal range after damaging her vocal cords by using improper voice technique.
