Ancillary: Final Cover

I've been through many experimental stages with my single cover for my ancillary task, from using an artistic, colourful approach to using jamie xx's real single covers as inspiration. I now think I have landed on an effective, simple design that effectively promotes jamie xx's single. The research I carried out before beginning my work was invaluable as it meant I had a good understanding of what is needed in a single cover and how much they have evolved. I used the discovery that many artists (especially dance artists which is the genre I'm working in) use a still from their video as the art for their cover to fully create a house theme in their promotion for the song, as basis for my final draft. 
Before settling on my final cover I looked one last time at trying to incorporate my female protagonist into the cover...
But, once again, I think it fails to grab the audiences attention and the cover that I eventually chose not only has an artistic feel to it which fits in with the jamie xx brand but also features water and so interlinks with the concept of 'rolling in the deep'. 
Here is my final cover...
