Jackson Stell, the genre-defying producer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known as Big Wild, has officially ushered in his next creative era with the release of his second single of 2025, the anthemic “Love Any Longer.” The new track arrives alongside a dazzling animated video by RUDO Company, and it marks a significant moment in Stell’s journey of reconnecting with his creative roots and inner joy.
Driven by a soul-stirring blend of indie-pop, psychedelic rock, and 1960s textures, “Love Any Longer” is a vibrant call to authenticity. “Get up, listen with your heart now,” Stell urges over swirling instrumentation and live percussive layers. The track, he says, is about embracing the parts of ourselves we often hide—our quirks, weirdness, and perceived flaws. “These qualities are strengths in disguise and make you unique,” Stell explains. “Suppressing them to meet others’ expectations is a recipe for unhappiness.”
The single follows “You Belong Here,” a symphonic and emotionally expansive release that marked Stell’s first music since his 2022 album The Efferusphere. Together, these songs illuminate a more playful, exploratory chapter for Big Wild, as he moves further from his electronic roots and dives into vintage textures and live instrumentation that channel the wonder of his childhood inspirations.
Alongside the single, Big Wild has announced his long-awaited “Wild Child Tour”, kicking off September 4 at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, TN, and making its way through major cities including Denver (Mission Ballroom on Sept. 27), Los Angeles (The Wiltern on Oct. 4), and wrapping up October 11 in Troutdale, OR. A $1 donation from every ticket sold will benefit the Ethos Music Center, a Portland-based nonprofit providing accessible music education to youth across Oregon.
Presale and VIP tickets go live Thursday, May 8, at 10 AM local time, with general on-sale beginning Friday, May 9 at 10 AM local. Fans can sign up for early access now.
Before hitting the road this fall, Big Wild will perform at Indy Pride’s WORD OF MOUTH Festival in Indianapolis on June 15.
With his latest music and upcoming tour, Big Wild is not just evolving—he’s inviting fans into a whole new world of colorful, emotional, and liberated expression.
