What makes this single artwork so significant is the location of the image - the artist is standing in a forest that is not featured at all in the song 'Panic Chord' or the music video that accompanies it and was clearly chosen because it is striking rather than relevance to the single. In regards to mise-en-scene her clothing is intriguing as she looks out of place against her green surroundings wearing nothing but a over-sized red jumper. The artist is clutching a large, bright yellow helium balloon that is out of place, but draws attention at a glance - though this could symbolise a recurring theme of changing and happiness in her music.
The use of natural, bright lighting is consistent with the style of her music videos - and a slightly grainy vintage filter has been placed over the artwork. The white font is simple and stands out against the cover artwork, making it easy to read.
The entire cover is very desaturated, making the brightly cloloured umbrella the artist is holding stand out. This album cover resembles the artwork for her single 'Panic Chord' in that the artist stands alone, barefoot, against a very natural, almost surreal background clutching a brightly coloured object above her head. However, the umbrella in this image is a clear link to the title of her album ' English Rain'. The same font is used for the artist's name and album title as in her previous cover, maintaining a house style that makes her work recognisable to her audience.
