Biig Piig
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."
