Peter Andre is a man who was has often spoken of his passion for music of different genres. Having always cited some of the Motown greats – from Stevie Wonder to the Jackson 5 – as his key influences, a recent trip to New Orleans opened his ears to the big band sound. As a result, he returns with his tenth studio album, Big Night. The album combines his new love for the big band sound with his ongoing appreciation for soul, to present a dynamic and contemporary style that we have never heard from Peter.

The album announcement coincides with the launch of Peter’s Pledge campaign where you can now pre-order Big Night alongside a wealth of different packages, including signed copies, meet & greets, and the opportunity to be up on stage at one of his live shows.

The highly anticipated album, which is a compilation of 11 tracks all written by Peter himself and co-writer Stevie Appleton, includes ‘Kid’, which was chosen to be the official song for DreamWorks’ animated movie Mr Peabody and Sherman. Big Night will mark a new sound and a completely different musical direction for Peter Andre.

Tracklisting:

1.    Big Night
2.    Kid
3.    Preach
4.    New Orleans
5.    Nothing Matters
6.    Just A Jam
7.    Beware
8.    Would You Mind?
9.    Jessie Ryder
10.   I Do
11.   Birdie Blues

For the first time in his musical career, Peter is supported by a 10 piece band on the album as well as throughout his 23-date UK tour, which starts on September 26.

Peter says of his new album, ‘I am so excited for you all to hear this new sound – it’s so different and is the type of album that I have wanted to do for many years. Now is the time – enjoy Big Night.’
