Biig Piig, the Irish songstress, is kicking off a new chapter with a new single, “4AM.” Her first new release of the year and a preview of her upcoming debut album, “4AM,” is a haunting but restorative reminder that no one is truly alone, even at the loneliest hours.
“4AM” captures that twilight hour of self-reflection when the world is sleeping, isolation exists as an echo chamber of one’s thoughts. Tethering on tender and throbbing production, Biig Piig’s hypnotic vocals croon across a melancholic soundscape, transforming loneliness into something nearly cinematic. “I know you don’t want to be alone ‘cause no one does,” she sings a refrain she turned to in times of great solitude. The lyric is an embrace, a hand reaching through the hush.
“4AM” examines the fine line between independence and longing, a state of mind many can relate to but few articulate. Biig Piig’s introspection doesn’t wallow but rather consoles, offering comfort in the idea that isolation is a universal human experience. “The chorus to me is something that I felt I needed to hear at the time,” she says. “That even when you’re at your most lonely, you’re not alone.”
With this release, Biig Piig proves once again that her craft can provide music that is perfectly relatable yet feels very much one step ahead of its creator. “4AM” is a nighttime confession, a love letter to the restless, an assurance that connection exists even in the stillest hours. As she enters this new chapter, Biig Piig is doing what she does best: offering the world everything she needs from it on her terms.
