}} ''The Night the Sun Came Up'' is the debut studio album by American recording artist Dev, released on September 2, 2011 by Universal Republic Records. Dev worked exclusively with American Electropop production duo The Cataracs, who helmed the production of the entire album along with co-writing songs with Dev. The production process of the album took place mainly in January 2011 and is currently continuing as the North American release date for the album was delayed from September 20, 2011 to January 10, 2012 as per Dev's request to add more songs to the album, however, Amazon.com announced the album would be pushed back again to March 26, 2012. The album received mixed to positive reviews, with critics commending the production of many of the songs while comparing the music on the set to the electropop stylings of American recording artist Ke$ha and Swedish dance recording artist Robyn. The songs are mostly inspired by Dev's life stories over the past few years. ''The Night the Sun Came Up'' is mainly an electropop and dance-pop album, which incorporates elements of several musical genres such as dubstep and urban. The themes of the album range from sex, partying, introspection, love and life. In the United States, the album reached a peak of number sixty-one, selling 7,560 copies in its first week of release. It also peaked at number 136 on the UK Albums Chart. The first two singles from ''The Night the Sun Came Up'', "Bass Down Low" and "In the Dark", were both moderate international hits, with "Bass Down Low" peaking within the top ten of the UK Singles Chart. "In the Dark" was more successful in North America, peaking at number eleven on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the United States and at number thirteen on the Canadian Hot 100 in Canada. It charted in more commercial markets, reaching the summit of the IFPI chart in Slovakia. ==Background== Devin Tailes recorded a cover of an Amy Winehouse ''Back to Black'' cover in response to her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, calling it a "diss track". The song was placed on Myspace and discovered by production team The Cataracs. She was then signed by the Los Angeles-based record label and management team, Indie-Pop, who also discovered The Cataracs. Months later, their song "2Nite" began to gain exposure on the radio, the television channel MTVU and the ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Airplay chart. In 2009, Dev moved to Los Angeles to produce music with the Cataracs and work directly with Indie-Pop. During that time, songs like "Fireball" and "Booty Bounce" were made. The latter track was produced in the same summer as the The Cataracs produced "Like a G6", at the time where Dev and the Cataracs "were grinding it out in the studio pretty tough together", making a couple of "simplistic random tracks."〔 "Like a G6", which features the Cataracs and Dev, was released in April 2010, and reached number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in October of that year, prompting Universal Republic to sign her on as an artist in the same month. 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「The Night the Sun Came Up」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
