Conceived by Biig Piig alongside “Feels Right” collaborators Zach Nahome and Maverick Sabre, “Kerosene” is a suitably combustible fusion of lust and release. Twisting Biig Piig’s own spin on dance music with hyperreal imagery containing easter eggs of her story thus far (and the story to come), Biig Piig introduces “Kerosene” as “the first track off a wider project I’m working on. It’s about wanting someone to rip my clothes off, and the tension of that relationship…my own hot girl summer anthem, tbh.”
Biig Piig has surprised fans with some much anticipated live news with details of her first London show since 2019: she will play two intimate nights at the beautiful Hoxton Hall on November 3 and 4 before heading to Ireland for two nights at Dublin’s Sound House on November 9 and 10. Early tickets are available for fans who are signed up to Biig Piig’s mailing list. Fans will receive a ticket link via e-mail on Wednesday, 9/7 with the on-sale beginning at 10AM local time. Tickets go on sale to the general publich on September 9 at 10AM. Having quickly sold out dates in the UK ranging from Village Underground to EartH pre-pandemic, Biig Piig’s live return is not to be missed.
Biig Piig is one of modern pop’s genuine one-offs, a fearless artist who has come of age across a period of experimentation and self-evaluation. From the trilogy of DIY EPs she dropped as a teenager onwards, Biig Piig has moved between genres and stories with songs that speak effortlessly of youth culture. Along the way, Biig Piig has grown a vast global audience for her instantly-identifiable, bilingual voice: with over 200 million streams, and wider co-signs ranging from Billie Eilish and the late Virgil Abloh to Lil Nas X and Clairo. Like much of her hugely eclectic catalogue to date, there is a more introspective side to Biig Piig than may meet the eye: standalone recent single “FUN” took the cautionary, ride-or-die relationship at the heart of the track to darkly cinematic territory, with the dancefloor hedonism of “Kerosene” again cut through with Biig Piig’s confessional lyrical candour.
Opening a new chapter in her life between Los Angeles and London, “Kerosene” introduces a Biig Piig project to follow her intoxicating lockdown EP, The Sky Is Bleeding, on top of huge dates alongside the likes of Glass Animals, Jungle, and collaborations ranging from Metronomy to ongoing work with her trailblazing crew, NiNE8 Collective. An undeniable star now coming into her own as an artist and young woman, watch out for more from Biig Piig to follow soon.

the UK). Featuring singles “POSE,”
“SYNCOPATE,”
and
“MESS
U MADE,”
the album bears all the hallmarks of MICHELLE’s music – layered
vocal harmonies, analog synthesizers, vibrant percussion, and
smoldering hooks.
The
record was recently named to Billboard’s
“10
Best Pride Albums of 2022,”
joining the critical acclaim the project received upon release from
outlets including Pigeons
& Planes, NME, Interview, Paste and
more. The group was named to Entertainment

kind of breezy, timeline-cleansing tunes our overstimulated brains
are begging for right now."

featuring two new songs, “FOOL
4 U”
and
“SEA

Great Escapewhich
received rave reviews from fans and press alike (“an
ecstatic, joyful celebration… sharp and ambitious collective
musicality” –NME).
Born-and-bred
New Yorkers, MICHELLE formed in 2018 and is comprised of Sofia
D’Angelo, Julian Kaufman, Charlie Kilgore, Layla Ku, Emma Lee and
Jamee Lockard. The predominantly POC and queer collective mix and
match the writing and production groups amongst the six of them.
Their debut album HEATWAVE was
self-released, featuring stand-out single “THE BOTTOM.”
“DREAMS
is the collective main-character moment for the alt-pop group,
whether clearing out for a solo dancefloor moment on ‘POSE’… or
counting down to a sexy apocalypse on ‘END OF THE WORLD.’ Even on
the songs that call out for extra company, the outfit sounds totally
in control — not easily shocked and dominating the crosswalk.”
