Hey all, l’m reaching out in hopes someone here might have any info or leads on what’s becoming one of the strangest mysteries l’ve ever encountered in my life. Sometime in the last few years, I distinctly remember an Eric Clapton album being released.. or at least heavily promoted. There was promotional material everywhere for it, especially on Instagram. I remember the artwork vividly: it featured a painted, animated-style silhouette of a girl chasing what looked like either a kite or a balloon, with a blue backdrop. The thing is… it’s completely gone. No streaming, no mention online, no archives, nothing. I’ve even gone as far as asking some of my musician colleagues and even the newest member of my band.. and they remember it too, which freaks me out. It’s became sort of a little inside joke amongst us for the past year now. This could be some weird Mandela Effect moment, but I’m convinced this was real. Has anyone else seen this album or remember the promo push for it? Any screenshots, mentions, anything would help. Thanks.

What area do you live in? I wonder if it was promoted more local to you if there was some sort of festival featuring clapton
It may be a still from his recent music video “One Woman”, some things in this fit your description

Maybe one of the Crossroads Guitar Festival recordings?
Is it this? Has the animated painted girl in silhouette, the blue background… no kite but there are stars or brain synapses or something in the background. https://www.instagram.com/ericclapton/reel/DAV6G0FOnho/
Maybe Heart of a Child?

It’s not an album, but I remember he dropped this anti-vax song a few years ago. Is this what you are thinking of?
This Has Gotta Stop by Eric Clapton
That’s when I knew she was pretending…. They never play that song
Try taking a look at his album discography on AllMusic.
I know it was from 1970, but the Derek and the Dominoes album artwork looks kinda like what you described.
