"Bipp" is a song by Scottish record producer Sophie. It was released as a single on 17 June 2013 as Sophie's first release on the label Numbers, backed by the B-side "Elle". Upon release, the song became a critical success, appearing on numerous end-of-year single polls and bringing Sophie early attention.[3]

Reception

"Bipp" received attention from music critics, topping XLR8Rs year-end list of tracks and placing 17 on Pitchfork's list.[4] [5] Pitchfork described the track as "rearranging emblazoned beats and rollercoaster dynamics in favor of vigorous sound design and the sticky hooks,"[6] and later ranked "Bipp" 56 on its list of the best tracks from 2010 to 2014.[7] Resident Advisor described the track as "wet and slippery", and praised its pitched-up vocal, stating that Bipp' takes a tired device and revitalizes it through sheer insistence. B-side "Elle" features more chaotic rhythm and synths, drawing comparisons to TNGHT and Rustie.[8] [9] The Forty-Five Sophie Walker named it the 24th best hyperpop song of all time.[10]
