Just today, Pretty Lights announced that his new album, “A Color Map of the Sun” will be released on July 2nd, 2013. This will be the first full-length record released by him in almost two and a half years. The album is described as “soulful electro hip-hop that that went back in time to learn from the lift of its smooth ass grandparents.” Although the album is currently for pre-sale, Derek announced that true to Pretty Lights style, the entire album will available to download for free on the day of the release.
“Basically, I tried to make an album that could make you feel your soul, move your body and maybe even stir up new ideas. I put my whole self into this album and it put itself back into me.” – Derek Vincent Smith
