Wearing an ArchiveCentral to this refusal is the album’s cover and a shoot for the release of the first single from the album. For the cover, Balani uses a sepia-toned photograph of his late grandfather, the artist Khialdas Suratram Balani, and another image of his grandparents  on the back. “I really wanted to put my granddad on the cover.
