Big Trouble is the second studio album by American recording artist and musician Outasight, released on October 23, 2015. The album was preceded by the lead single "The Wild Life", released on April 20, 2015. The album is a follow-up to Outasight's debut studio album, Nights Like These (2012). It was produced by Richard Andrew and Will Lobban-Bean, better known as Cook Classics.[2] The album was heavily inspired by funk, jazz, soul, and pop.
Following the success of Richard Andrew's debut studio album, Nights Like These, and extensive touring, he began writing and recording for his second studio album, which later would become Big Trouble. Throughout 2014, he became an independent recording artist departing from Warner Bros. Records and signed to RPM MSC. He moved from his hometown of Yonkers, New York, to Los Angeles, California, to gain inspiration and write, record, and produce a new album.[3] He wrote and recorded with Will Lobban-Bean, who is known professionally as Cook Classics, who had produced Andrew's debut album as well. He released the first single from Big Trouble, "The Wild Life", on April 20, 2015 to contemporary radio and digital retailers. Speaking about the single he said:
The album's title comes from the novel from author Hunter S. Thompson.[4]
