Peter André: Big Night

Peter André is a man who 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 the album Big Night alongside a wealth of different packages including, signed copies, meet & greets and the opportunity to be up on stage at one of Peter's 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 is a not only a new sound and a completely different direction - it's exactly where Peter wants to be musically.

The Tracklisting for the album is:

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 his musical career, Peter is supported by a 10 piece band on the album and throughout his 23 date UK Nationwide tour which starts on September 26th.

Peter said "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".

2014 is Peter's year of music after stepping away from his ITV2 reality show "My Life" after 10 series, which drew weekly audiences of 1.5million. Peter's last tour sold 75,000 tickets and this tour is set to be bigger and better.
