For inspiration, I looked at a few album covers under the genre Electro-pop to get an overall idea on what is conventional and what is not. All of the album cover examples above feature the artist and uses them as the main image however it is done abstractly. The artist is either embedded within the album art like Lorde - Melodrama, or iconography is used such as Sia - 1000 Forms of Fear. The album artwork is often bold or monochrome for a more dramatic and eye-catching aesthetic. In my opinion, it is because since Electro-pop is aimed towards the youth, they're most likely to look for album artwork that is pleasing to look at; to put for display.
Sia - 1000 Forms of Fear album is a monochromatic photograph which puts the focus on the wig by emphasising the light reflected on it. The figure of the artist is subtle as you don't actually see Sia's face however, we know that it is her album because of her iconic wig. The title of the album and name of the artist is positioned at the bottom of the cover which connotes the importance of Sia's name and the title. It also looks like the title is scratched on and this links to the album's theme of 'fear'.
