The gradual rise of the debut album's opening track ‘4AM’ establishes the mood for Biig Piig’s evolution from experimental sounds to a true master of sad bangers, blending the euphoric energy of festival headlining dance tracks with the heartfelt nostalgia that has recently propelled artists like Dua Lipa and Jessie Ware. ‘11:11’ intensifies the genre-blending that characterized the 2023 ‘Bubblegum’ mixtape, bringing a refreshing level of consistency; tracks like ‘Decimal’ and ‘9-5’ introduce the spirit of East London nightclubs to a broader audience, as do the subtle ‘Ponytail’ and the James Blake-inspired underground rhythms found in the interlude of ‘I Keep Losing Sleep.’ Captivating yet disarming, the album seamlessly integrates its contrasting elements. ‘Stay Home’ and ‘One Way Ticket’ evoke Biig Piig’s guitar-driven bedroom-pop origins, showcasing her ability to narrate the journey of a night out, transitioning from carefree disco pop to the inevitable comedown, and ultimately returning to hopeful optimism. It concludes with perhaps the most significant tracks - the first expressing a collective acceptance of solitude, and the last offering a glimmer of hope. “No, you’re not alone,” Biig Piig sings as ‘Better Days’ fades to silence, marking the end of a perfect whirlwind experienced in the span of a single night.
