Biig Piig debut album out Friday via RCA
BIIG PIIG
HIGHLY ANTICIAPTED DEBUT ALBUM 11:11 OUT THIS FRIDAY
RELEASES LATEST SINGLE ‘ONE WAY TICKET’
HEADLINE UK & EU TOUR THIS MONTH
Pop’s latest innovator Biig Piig has dropped her brand new single ‘One Way Ticket’ via RCA Records. Acting as a musical poem of grief, the single tackles bold new territory for Biig Piig ahead of her much-anticipated debut album ‘11:11’, releasing this Friday, February 7th 2025. The reflective album celebrates the ebbs and flows of life whilst ‘One Way Ticket’ delves into a heartfelt good bye.
On February 7th, ‘11:11’ will enter into the wake of flirty abandoning ‘Favourite Girl’ and the brave new world of ‘Decimal’. With communal spirit baked into her DNA, Biig Piig’s debut album era opened with ‘4AM’, an evocative banger about breaking free from a negative cycle. The queen of reinvention herself embraces the track’s nocturnal, melancholic lyrics. ‘Decimal’ suitably teases a record full of cities, strangers, synchronicity, and an unflinching exploration of the self. Dreamlike and disorienting in equal measure, the album is named after the angel number ‘11:11’ - symbolising true enlightenment and awakening. It’s the feeling that you’ve finally arrived, after a period of chaotic transition. And clearly, Biig Piig has arrived with the announcement of this sensational record.
These releases follow last year’s globally acclaimed mixtape, ‘Bubblegum’, another immersive body of buoyant dance-pop inspired by the safety she found in club culture as a teen. The Gen Z icon, with a furiously adventurous spirit and a love for bilingual lyrics, has celebrated a run of EPs, singles and synonymous creative self-discovery. The 26-year-old has lived in countless cities from her birthplace of Cork, to Marbella, London, and Los Angeles and has worked all kinds of jobs from dealing poker at Leicester Square’s Empire Casino to working in a draft house after a stint at a ‘beer school’. Fast forward to 2024, and she boasts impressive co-signs with international giants like Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and the BBC Sound Poll to tours alongside the likes of Glass Animals and Jungle.
Recorded in various studios across London and Paris, including the late Philippe Zdar’s iconic Motorbass, 11:11 took shape as Biig Piig began to settle down. She returned to London where she now lives full-time with her two cats, she’s in her “first long long-term relationship,” she’s putting roots down. This is the position from which her first full-length body of work was created. No longer moving at high speed but still feeling things intensely, 11:11 makes peace with change as a constant, rather than trying to outrun it. “I was having a really hard time at some points, but in hindsight everything has happened the way it was supposed to,” she reflects on the writing process and personal changes running alongside it. “It’s those moments that have influenced [the record], and tie back to that same feeling that I get when I see the number 1111.”
Filling the speakers with a bold world of colours and synthetic textures, Biig Piig states that sometimes she’s “inspired by going out, but sometimes it’s pure fantasy. It’s like daydreaming – you’re writing to manifest, almost.
