Tokio Hotel Raise The Bar For Sleazy Single Covers With “Love Who Loves You Back”: See The Eye-Popping Artwork

You know, I thought Nicki Mianj‘s “Anaconda” cover was a lock for the year’s most eye-popping artwork but then Bobby Brackins upped the ante with “Hot Box” and now Tokio Hotel takes the lead with new single “Love Who Loves You Back”. The German pop/rockers went with a raunchy optical illusion that looks like a female body part, at least at first glance. (Don’t worry, it’s only a mouse).

Does this go too far? I think it’s kind of gross but shock value is a hotter commodity than ever in 2014, so I guess all is fair in love, war and the music business. The enduring cult band is busily promoting their first ever English only LP Kings Of Suburbia, which drops October 6. Tokio Hotel have a huge following around the globe, so expect to hear a lot more from them this quarter.

Is the cover too explicit? Have your say in the comments below.
