R&B Album Cover Quiz

R&B sleeves have defined style and self-presentation for six decades — the studio portraiture of Motown, the intimacy of seventies soul, and the genre-bending art direction of the last fifteen years. This quiz shows you one tight crop from each and asks you to name the record it belongs to.

Ten rounds, four choices, no timer — and every choice is also a R&B cover, so there is no giveaway option to eliminate. The pool holds 34 covers, which is enough that two games rarely look alike. Get one wrong and the full sleeve zooms back out with a link to the story behind it: who designed it, who shot it, and why it looks the way it does.
