Bipp

"Bipp" (stylized as "BIPP") is a song performed by SOPHIE. It serves as the first track from SOPHIE's debut compilation album, PRODUCT.

Background
This 2013 single from London electronic artist SOPHIE brought her to the forefront of experimental pop and garnered massive critical reception. Featuring bubbly instrumentation and chirpy vocals, “BIPP” is often considered one of the best tracks of 2013.

"BIPP" is furthermore the only track of SOPHIE’s to receive an official remix. Following the release of her 2015 album PRODUCT, the Scottish record label Numbers approached her about pursuing a remix album, to which SOPHIE is quoted as responding “NO remixes… unless it’s Autechre.”

"BIPP" finally received its official remix from Autechre on January 14th, 2021, two weeks before SOPHIE’s untimely death.

An NPR article covering SOPHIE’s life and legacy reflects on the impact that "BIPP" had on her career and on the trajectory of music in the 21st century:"'SOPHIE’s career took off almost immediately after the release of “BIPP,” which matched hi-res stutter-step production with pitched-up vocals in what would become a blueprint for adventurous pop music over the next seven years.'"

Trivia

 * In “BIPP,” like other songs on Product, SOPHIE uses intentionally vague lyrics to craft a catchy pop song that can be taken a variety of different ways. With these lines, the singer sounds coy, almost like she could be singing about sexual desire, specifically oral sex. Alternately, these lines could also refer to any manner of products, such as the fizzy mixture referenced in “VYZEE” or the titular beverage in “LEMONADE.” In typical SOPHIE fashion, she leaves the interpretation of these lines up to the listener.
