When the Night is the debut studio album by New York City-based musician St. Lucia. It was released on October 8, 2013 through Neon Gold Records and Columbia Records.[4] The album has charted in the United States.

Background

[edit]

The original version of "Call Me Up" was recorded in the bathroom of a Tommy Bahama in Florida. Grobler explained during a performance in Boston that he was self-conscious about the way the words sounded in the song, "They always sound kind of mumbly." However, he said that he "realized it's a tender love song in a way, and that I wanted the lyrics to feel that way because it almost feels like when you’re whispering words into your lover's ear or something."[5]

Promotion

[edit]

In December 2012, a music video for "September" was released. It was directed by Francis. The song appeared in the soundtrack for EA Sports football video game, FIFA 13.[6]

A music video for "Elevate", directed by NORTON, was released on September 19, 2013.[7]

The song "Elevate" appears in the soundtrack for Konami football video game PES 2016.[8]
