Background

edit

Andre wanted to take another musical direction with this swing music album. Peter co-wrote all 11 songs with singer-songwriter Stevie Appleton.[1] In February 2014, he released the first song off this album, "Kid", which was chosen for the DreamWorks animated movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman.[2] Kid was also used in the Autumn Iceland TV commercials.

Carys Jones wrote for Entertainment-Focus that Big Night was "a really great effort from Peter Andre and [was] probably the best album that he [had] ever released"[3] and Janelle Tucknott of RenownedForSound.com claimed that "leaping into the Big Band/Swing/Soul/Blues direction of Big Night [was] a risk which [had] paid off nicely for Peter Andre".[4]
