An Odyssey Sound Session with @biig_piig.
Biig Piig is the project of Jess Smyth, the Irish singer-songwriter. Today Biig Piig releases her debut album 11:11. It’s a huge moment for the artist who has been quietly influencing mainstream music through her dreamy, genre-bending, genre-defying sounds, and her work with the NiNE8 collective in London.
Speaking about the album, Biig Piig shares: “This record is about moments of clarity - those flashes of realisation when everything makes sense, even if just for a second. It’s about chasing those moments, losing them, and finding them again. I wanted the album to feel fluid, like a dream you don’t want to wake up from. Every song exists in its own world, but together, they tell a story about love, fear, identity, and learning to trust yourself.”
In this episode, Jess joins Roxy to talk about the songs that have soundtracked important moments on her journey.
Listen to Biig Piig’s playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
