Data Insight
Sick Boy was rolled out one single at a time across 2018 before arriving as an album, and Andrew Taggart again writes and sings across the whole record. The duo produced it with a rotating set of collaborators including Shaun Frank, Aazar, and Nghtmre, and outside writers such as Emily Warren shape the songs. The authorship stays a Taggart-led team effort rather than a solo work.
The Chainsmokers' second studio album, released December 14, 2018. A darker, more introspective record than their debut, Sick Boy leaned into themes of fame and disillusionment. It features collaborations with Kelsea Ballerini, Emily Warren, Winona Oak, Drew Love, and Nghtmre. Shaun Frank served as frequent co-producer across several tracks.
