Biig Piig finally drops “11:11,” her long-anticipated debut album, a hypnotic and deeply personal journey that solidifies her place as one of the most exciting voices in the genre today. It’s a project as intimate as it is boundary-pushing, with Biig Piig masterfully blends through 11 tracks in less than 30 minutes, a collision of electronic pulses, soft sophistication, and raw emotion.
Hailing from an era of soul searching in global terrain, 11:11 carries the weight of all the highs and lows of life’s erratic cadence. The album’s “4AM” opener quickly establishes the vibe as serene but throbbing with underground energy, guiding the listener into Biig Piig’s blurry world. This duality of tender reflection with propulsive charge is a hallmark moment across the record, revealing an artist who flourishes in opposites.
The album’s most intimate moment arrives with “Silhouette,” a sparer song that sees Biig Piig hit her most vulnerable, bringing listeners into a cocoon of emotion. And “Brighter Day,” in its way, is a dose of hopeful catharsis, underscoring her skill for writing songs that cut deep, be it through melancholy contemplation or subtle hope.
Biig Piig’s experimentalism shines most in “Cynical,” in which production elements twist around her characteristic ethereal vocal delivery in unorthodox directions, propelling the alt-pop form into new territory. And though much of “11:11” veers toward introspection, songs like “9-5” pull listeners back to her club-leaning origins, providing an irresistible groove contrasting the album’s softer, more ambient passages.
From the pulsing energy of “Decimal” to the cinematic calm of “One Way Ticket,” Biig Piig won’t be pinned down by convention. Each track feels like a moment of self-reflection, yet the album itself is a powerful declaration, an artist who has full command over her sound, made the least afraid to take her route.
