Ya I can tell just by lookin at it you didn't want to do a simple cover on something that should really just be simple. Its like halfway, I'd say just do a solid color "moving targets" text, lose the cross-hairs cuz lookin through a scope doesn't really convey christianity, and loose the honeycomb background. Lose the "ft the industries hottest artists" too cuz if they were that hot they'd be listed lol...
Sorry. I'm only being honest with you.
I think OD is right on with the simplicity of the text, try something more simple. With the photo itself, there is a good spot in the center of that image for the title. It would look much better for instance if you kept Conte with the design around it. And then removed all of the other objects, they just look cluttered all in that one area. So there's just the just the photo with the Conte design in the middle (up a little higher than it is now.) To compliment that you could tie in that design you have around the title, into a border, so it all interconnects.
The only problem is the client probably wants all that extra junk on there such as the album title, but the photo this person supplied you doesn't even work with the title itself. Personally I think with a photo like that, the simplicity of "Conte" should be enough.
So yeah, I would remove EVERYTHING except the Conte design and the photo and just start fresh from there and work with that.

You can also use the straight lines on the design around the title as a map to lay out and position the title "Moving Target" by the artists name. Obviously it would go just under the line that is under Conte, because the top part has that design in the middle. Then just use that single piece, and center it, then build a fancy border around that, keep it simple but make every object compliment. Also for colors you might just want to stick with basic black, since it does work. Keep it all basic.
I'm really just not feeling this at all.
The background you put in looks real, like he's really there, which is good, but it doesn't look good, I think the original picture with all the white in it, even though the background in it was bland, looked better. It's just the outer glow color and the Moving Target text and every aspect of that just doesn't look appealing it looks thrown together in a rush.
I think keeping the simple black over the original background would look best, because of the contrast.
