Not many people outside of Europe know who Joy is, but not only is Born & Raised one of 2006's best albums, but it also has one of the year's best covers. Not only is the washed-out background against her dark curly hair a good effect, but the over-the-shoulder positioning of Joy and the just below eye-level camera angle are great.
Original Release Date: Aug. 11, 2006.
