The album title is “Rumours” by Fleetwood Mac (1977). The cover is simple. Two people, man and woman, posing and holding their hands with beige-color’s background. Man is Mick Fleetwood, and woman is Stevie Nicks.

Fleetwood mac is famous for the complicating relationship among the group.

Since all of members had issues of their relationship, each members wrote songs about their relationship. The fonts of “Fleetwood Mac” and “Rumours” seem to express their complicated relationship.

Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks on the album cover look like acting something. She seems to engender an atmosphere of wizard. He looks like pretending to be an actor. And, by looking at their hands, i can see that they are strongly connected each other as members of same band, even their situation was not great.
