Cover Art Market LLC  today announced the release of its Cover Discovery Engine™ empowering Musicians to find the perfect cover fast. Cover Art Market  is changing how cover art is discovered and purchased by providing a platform for Musicians to buy cover art from Artists around the world. Gone are the days of hiring an artist or endeavoring to create your own art (heaven forbid!) to promote your music, it's now as simple as seeking out someone else's work that you feel defines your own and with a few clicks, making someone elses generic photos or "art" all your own.

The CAM platform has grown quickly to hundreds of pre-made generic covers, with projected growth to thousands of mass produced inspiration-free covers. Apparently, musicians have requested a faster, more straightforward way to find cover art. (Did they?) The Cover Discovery Engine (CDE) provides an easy way to select options from several categories, including Genre, Mood, Theme, Color, and Other. Then, in real-time, CDE produces a top 10 list of covers that meet your criteria, where you can select a cover to purchase or choose to show more results or start over. Just like the making of music has gone from analog creation that required extensive talent, studying, learning and developing your craft, to a much simpler art of pressing a few buttons and purchasing a few beats, so has the cover art market gone from creation to acquisition. Meh.

"I have purchased several covers from Cover Art Market. CAM has cool, diverse covers, now with the Cover Discovery Engine, I can find covers faster and focus more time on promotion and getting my music noticed," said Swanke, hip-hop/rap Musician. Check out Swanke's cover and music listen here.

With music streaming services becoming the dominant platform for listening, Cover Art has never been more important for Musicians to be successful, or at the very least, lazy as hell. "Similar to seeing lightning before hearing thunder, in the music streaming world, we see the cover art before we hear or even decide to play the track. Add to the fact we live in a world with short attention spans, great cover art is often the difference in your song getting played or the listener hitting the next button," says Dave Chapman, CEO. "Now, with the release of the Cover Discovery Engine, Musicians can find the perfect cover to complement their songs and brand to generate more streams." 

And so goes the further watering down of the creative spirit of music.
