In an interview with NME, the singer said that the cover for Carl Barat, which features Barat holding a camera up to himself in the mirror, is "just photographic".
Barat explained: "The artwork's basically just photographic.
"The front cover is basically me just taking a photograph in the mirror. Just because it's a self-titled professional album and I'm just kind of naked and it just shows me how it is."
He added: "I didn't want to be clever about it. I thought the mirror thing's quite clever, but I've been told that's been done a lot."
Barat's self-titled LP was released today.
