Maggie Lindemann released her new album ‘I Feel Everything‘ and she’s opening up about the extreme measures she took for the cover artwork.
The 26-year-old singer literally laid on a bed of nails for the album cover. And yes, it hurt as much as you’d expect.
“I was super bruised,”
Lindemann told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about the photo shoot experience.
The pop artist’s sophomore album dropped this month, featuring a striking cover image that shows her positioned on an actual bed of nails. The concept tied directly into the album’s title and themes about feeling everything intensely.
Lindemann explained the creative process behind the dramatic photo shoot. The bed of nails wasn’t a prop or special effect – it was the real thing.
The physical discomfort was immediate and lasting. Lindemann described dealing with significant bruising after the shoot, though she felt the artistic result justified the pain.
The album marks a significant step in Lindemann’s musical journey. ‘I Feel Everything‘ represents her second full-length release, building on the sound and persona she’s developed since her debut.
The cover art concept emerged from wanting to create something that visually represented the album’s emotional intensity. The bed of nails serves as a literal interpretation of the vulnerability and raw feeling that runs through the project.
Lindemann’s willingness to endure actual physical discomfort for her art reflects the authentic approach she brings to her music. The bruises were temporary, but the striking visual will remain connected to the album permanently.
The singer has been promoting the new release across various platforms, sharing behind-the-scenes details about both the recording process and the elaborate photo shoots that accompanied it.
‘I Feel Everything‘ is available now on major streaming platforms. The album showcases Lindemann’s evolved sound while maintaining the emotional honesty that’s become her signature.
