Canadian artist Lights is set to unveil an [ambient chillstep version of her album](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bochum-welt-js-ep) 'Pep'. In a unique promotional strategy, she took to [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/createmybanner-1) to give fans a glimpse of what's in store. The teaser showcased Lights on a couch, engrossed in a newspaper. The headline? "Obituaries Continued". Intriguingly, each obituary corresponds to a song title from the album, complete with a whimsical backstory. For instance, the track "Jaws" narrates the tale of a daring heist, a coastal escape, and a tragic encounter with a shark.

In a subsequent tweet, Lights showcased a musical snippet, transitioning from the original version of her album to the anticipated chillstep rendition. The innovative [teaser campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl) has undoubtedly piqued the interest of her fanbase, eagerly awaiting the album's release. For a firsthand look at the tweets and to stay updated on the album drop, fans are encouraged to follow Lights on Twitter.
