He's been hinting for a while now about big things to come. Now, big things have come for out artist Simon Curtis.

Following up on his truly innovative pop album 8Bit Heart (2010), he is dropping a sequel tonight called Super 8Bit Heart. The album, available at midnight tonight, is $9.99 or .99 per song.

Even more exciting, Curtis's thematically related debut YA novel Boy Robot has just been announced. The book, the first in a trilogy about synthetic-cell teens with special powers battling the government that created them, will be published in November 2016 by Simon Pulse.

In a release, Curtis said:

I’m excited to finally share this book after starting to tell the story years ago in my first album. I’ve always made music for people who feel like outsiders, and I’m thrilled to say Boy Robot continues that narrative in a big way.
