Hey there, fellow playlist chefs and cover art connoisseurs! 👋
Are you tired of people telling you not to judge a book by its cover? Well, you're not in luck because we do judge a book by its cover. Except you switch books out for music.
We're diving deep into the world of music where album art is king or queen 👑 (we don't discriminate).
Because my love for curating playlists is matched only by my inability to remember song names. But album covers? Those stick to my brain like that cringe thing you did 7 years ago
CoverTwin is my magnum opus, my Sistine Chapel of playlist curation. It's an app that finds songs and albums with similar cover art. Why? Because:
- I'm a visual learner (I think). If I can't see it, it doesn't exist.
- Bands with similar taste in fonts must sound alike. It's how the world works. - Source: Trust me bro!
- Cover Doppelgänger: Find the long-lost twins of your favorite album covers, If you like Blonde by Frank Ocean you might love Brunnete by Candid Lake.
- Playlist Roulette: Create a playlist based on a single album cover. It's like musical roulette, but you won't loose all your money and your clothes!
- "I'm Feeling Lucky" Button: For when you want to live dangerously and let the app choose your music based on a random stock photo. My fellow Nigerian could use Tinubu's picture.
- Think of a song. Any song.
- Forget its name immediately (if you haven't already).
- Remember what the album cover looked like.
- Use CoverTwin to find it and all its visual siblings!
- Create a playlist that only make sense to you.
- Defend your choices vigorously to your friends and to stanger on X (formerly known as Twirra).
Side effects may include:
- Uncontrollable urge to judge books by their covers
- Sudden interest in graphic design
- Inability to listen to music without staring at the album art
- Spontaneous playlist creation at inappropriate times

Remember, in a world where everyone's a critic, be a curator. A curator with an unhealthy obsession with album art.
Now go forth and create playlists that make no sense to anyone but you. That's the CoverTwin way! 🎧🖼️🎉
P.S. If you find an album cover featuring both Manchester Unitd and a young DM, please contact me immediately. It's for... research purposes.
