I completely agree with you the concept is very interesting and I like Porodina’s style (although she continues to produce the same work) but Ariana simply doesn’t have the ability to pull it off. The cover is outshining her, this bold style with so many colors, requires someone who knows how to work in front of the camera and she simply can’t pull this off as she has no versatility. I’m honestly tired of this all “I’m a fragile butterfly” act, because we all know she was never like this.
Long story short, the focus is on the background and not her.
