I just wanted your opinion on the best approach to possibly garner more views. The music comes first, ALWAYS. But when it comes to marketing and art, I struggle a bit.

The current style I have on my channel is this... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9ohH0wXLbbsgQCbGJ_yOQ

Mostly a burned, vintage aesthetic. But I wanted to ask you guys which looks best, and ill stick with it weekly.

I got for a "sunset" color scheme, but lately I want my thumbnails to look more professional, so they should have a congruent look.

Going for the horny-bait i see.

N°1 looks more seductive, if you know what i mean. I would pick that one since it calls for a more slow paced kind of music, at least in my mind.

N°2 is also cool, but a bit too energetic (if that makes any sense) for what i hear on your channel. N°3 looks like it would fit, but for some reason audiosex is not allowing me to enlarge the pic. N°4 definetively not, it looks more like something for rock.

This is just my own perception btw, i don't know sh*t about the subject.

 

Obviously go for the 2nd pic, flamboyant sexy booties

 

Well I'm Looking more so for Style... the first one has a vinyl quality where its bleeding into the image. So I'd make every image seem like it's "ashes" (although I forgot how I achieved this effect).

The second is a black background and the image is "mirrored".

The third is my current style, and fourth is a black sand background.

Maybe I'm overthinking, but consistency, thumbnail appeal, and great music are how people achieve growth for their brand as a producer or singer. (sadly sex still sells, otherwise I'd do something unique! and get.... no views)

 

imo yes, sex still sells.but you will not be taken fully serious as a musician and producer,if the first impression is reduced to your erotic qualitys. i would try somthing unique,where people can anticipate your musical and technical qualitys and with a less erotic component.
