#468 The Best Album of 2001, Round 1 Match #37: Aaliyah vs. Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions

Hey folks!

First pic: A photograph of a thin Black woman, Aaliyah, on a red background. (RIP) She wears a sheer sleeveless top that is I believe beige. She looks very confident. Second pic: On a black background is the black and white photo of a white woman (I believe Hope Sandoval) on her back -- but only her upside down head is visible. To the right are several white flowers. Above this, a series of white lines cuts across the black backround, forming a kind of side view of the contours of a landscape. On top of these lines are four trees, drawn in pen and ink.
