}} ''Nocturnes'' is the second studio album by English recording artist Little Boots. It was released on 3 May 2013 by Little Boots's On Repeat Records. Featuring production from DFA's Tim Goldsworthy, Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford and Hercules and Love Affair's Andy Butler, the album "celebrates 90s house, seventies disco and futuristic electronics". According to Little Boots, the record is titled ''Nocturnes'' because it is "an album indebted to the night".〔 Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics. ''Nocturnes'' debuted at number forty-five on the UK Albums Chart, selling 2,465 copies in its first week.〔 〕 ==Background== Little Boots first revealed plans for her second album during an interview with Artistdirect on 1 March 2010, stating it would be "rawer and a bit more down-to-earth. It'll still be magical, but quite dark and spooky at the same time." On 1 May 2011, Little Boots performed at the China Music Valley International Music Festival in Beijing, where she debuted the track "Crescendo". On 20 October 2011, she released a mixtape titled ''Shake Until Your Heart Breaks'', which featured the single "Shake". She released her third mixtape, ''Into the Future'', on 9 March 2012, containing a remix of the single "Every Night I Say a Prayer". In an interview with ''DIY'' on 12 December 2012, Little Boots revealed that she was putting the finishing touches to her second album, commenting, "I feel a lot more at peace about where I'm at creatively as an artist now than a year or so ago () I think everyone is always nervous releasing anything they've created into the world, but I've realized what I want to do and how I can achieve it, rather than trying to please other people." Sonically, she stated the album "definitely feels more representative of me of an artist, at least now in 2012. It's less 80s synth pop influenced, it's quite an upbeat album, which I think has stemmed from the fact I have been DJing a lot, and listening to a lot of dance music." On 15 January 2013, Little Boots confirmed that her second album was completed, and it would be released in March 2013. On the weekend of 23 and 24 February 2013, Little Boots made several posts on social media directing people to follow her Instagram account for an update that would reveal the album's artwork, culminating with the post late on 24 February with the album's cover, with the title revealed to be ''Nocturnes''. A post earlier in the afternoon also revealed several tracks on the album, including the singles "Shake" and "Every Night I Say a Prayer", along with songs from live sets such as "Motorway" and "Crescendo" and other titles such as "Confusion", "Broken Record", "Beat Beat", "Strangers", "All for You" and "Satellites". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nocturnes (Little Boots album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
