Sam Smith vs Calvin Harris

   Sam Smith:

Sam Smith is a R&B/Soul artist who has become very popular in the last few years. His genre of music heavily reflects the cover of his newest album "In the Lonely Hour".

Dark clothes and a dark atmosphere would tell us that he might be very bland and dull however the lighting on his face could suggest that he is very soulful and has a light voice.

 By looking down, he is showing a sense of being shy and vulnerable but it could also portray that he cares about singing and writes lyrics that are meaningful. 

His hands are cupped together as if he is praying which again highlights is soulfulness as he could be religious.

    Calvin Harris:

Calvin Harris is a DJ who has been active for around 14 years. His style of music also reflects his album "18 MONTHS".

Showing him as being alone and isolated shows that he cares about music and possibly spent time as a kid by himself working on new songs. The backdrop tells us that he is home grown talent and original because it seems to be some sort of local estate. Calvins' clothes also suggests that he is not only casual but is also ordinary just like us which makes the audience think that they have a chance of becoming as famous as him.

This is all true to the fact that Calvin writes, sings and produces all of his songs which makes his albums very personal to him.
