Well, I was hoping that it was just my head playing with me, but I have to confess, I don't think her expression fits. I think whether the pose fits or not depends on the face. Wouldn't you interpret the pose completely differently if she were smiling? Listening to the song while looking at the cover, I can't help but start imagining different expressions. She really needs a smile on this cover... Maybe a gentle smile (no teeth) with slightly sleepy eyes looking at the camera. On second thought, I think I'd like for her to turn her head slightly towards the sky with her eyes closed and smile like in & (big, natural grin). On the other hand, maybe that's a little too much like &. Sigh, decisions, decisions, ne? Well, despite my slight disappointment, I still have faith in her judgment. There's gotta be something to these recent covers that many of us seem to think are subpar... She is the master of image, Queen of a Thousand Faces, isn't she?
