From its hedonistic beats and transformative delivery, Biig Piig's debut album '11:11' proves to be a celestial body of art as it effortlessly blends genres, emotions, and sounds to craft a deeply introspective effort.

From its opening track, "4am," the album sets a hazy, reflective tone. Biig Piig’s voice floating over soft electronic production, creating a mood that feels both intimate and vast, as though she’s confiding in the listener while inviting them into her own world of dreams and desires. The track establishes the theme of 11:11—an exploration of love, vulnerability, and the complex nature of self-awareness.

Moving from the expansive club-ready soundscapes in "Ponytail" to the experimental choppy interlude, "I Keep Losing Sleep", the record truly pushes the boundaries of modern age music as it genre hops between electronica, softened RnB and bubbly pop.

The production on 11:11 is also noteworthy. The album feels lush, but never overcrowded. It’s a delicate balance of lo-fi charm and polished percussion, with layers of atmospheric sounds that give each song their own unique texture - expertly displayed on the guitar led "One Way Ticket" which shows grit and determination across its backdrop. "I've got a one way ticket out, I'm not going to turn back for no one"the 26-year-old pensively sings.

With the album bringing plenty of tender, heartfelt moments, it also has an undeniable edge that shows Biig Piig isn’t afraid to confront the complexities of relationships with a mix of vulnerability and confidence. 

As it reaches in to its soulful, almost gospel-like closing credits, "Brighter Day" rounds up a masterful collection that shows her growth as an artist. Whether you’re looking for something to cry with, or something to don your best dancing shoes to, 11:11 offers both in equal measure. From nuances of youth, love, and self-discovery with stunning production and emotionally charged lyrics, it marks an exciting new chapter as she follows up last year’s globally acclaimed mixtape, ‘Bubblegum’ with a pristine pop prelude to the future.

Returning with their euphoric new effort, The K's have shared their latest single Breakdown In My Bedroom. Taken from the band's forthcoming second album ‘Pretty On The Internet’, due for release this summer, the band's tantalising teaser showcases high swinging guitars and infectious vocals that deliver another effortless, high-energy anthem. Opening up more about the track's subject matter, frontman Jamie Boyle says, "“Breakdown in My Bedroom” was written as a reflection of my ongoing struggle to maintain mental stability when navigating through various situations. It’s about that internal battle—the moments when anxiety takes over, and the idea of staying in my bedroom, locked away from the world, seems like a safer and more comfortable option than facing social interactions or confronting difficult situations." He continues, "It’s strange, but there’s a part of me that sometimes chooses the isolation, even though I know it’s not the healthiest choice. The song dives into that feeling of being trapped in your own head, caught between the desire to escape and the need to push through. It’s a personal exploration of how, at times, it can feel easier to avoid the world than to face it head-on." Take a listen for yourselves below.

Deep Sear Diver has today returned with the hauntingly brilliant new single Let Me Go, a collaboration with Grammy-winning musician/songwriter Madison Cunningham. With its explosive finale, the track's off-kilter melodies slowly burst in to life towards its cathartic crescendo. Dobson says of the visual, “I’ve been wanting to collaborate with Madison for a long time, and I was over the moon when this song came in such an unexpected moment. We were just jamming in the studio and I started playing a guitar riff that I’ve had kicking around since high school that Madison started immediately winding around on her guitar. We looped a drum machine that my co-producer Andy Park started playing and a few hours later most of the song was finished.This song felt effortlessly cool from the start; it reminds me of some of my favorite PJ Harvey songs, full of grit & power. We shot the music video with the same spirit, and as two LA natives who both love the city—we wanted to explore our hometown. Not knowing that it was two days before the LA fires, it has subsequently taken on a new meaning as a love letter to the city we both adore.” Take a watch for yourselves below.

Taken from her newly announced debut EP ‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen, set for release March 7th via Gravity / Capitol Records, Fiona-Lee shares her brand new single ‘To Make Me Feel Good’, following its BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq premiere. Filled with euphoric crescendos and catchy lyrics it serves as a brilliant introduction to the year ahead and further taster for the new EP. Speaking ahead of its release, the indie sensation added: “I wrote ‘To Make Me Feel Good’ when I was going through a hard time with my body image. It’s a song about the idea that you shouldn’t need someone else to make you feel like you’re enough as you are. I think it’s even worse for young people now because it’s so easy to compare yourself to others online, and I think many of us search for validation through social media and romantic partners - even if they’re not the right people for us.  So ‘To Make Me Feel Good’ is about acknowledging how reliant we can be on that and saying maybe it’s not so good for us - as well as generally questioning the amount of importance and pressure that’s actually put on ‘being beautiful’ nowadays.” Take a listen for yourselves below. 

Live Dates
1st August - Y Not Festival, Derbyshire
