“Box” opens with a sensually spoken confession. “Hey baby, you really did break my heart, you know,” setting the tone for a song that balances the bittersweet aftermath of heartbreak with the spirit of self-empowerment. Anchored by a playful beat, 80s-inspired synths, and a lovable, bouncy bassline, the song pays homage to the legendary disco era while adding a modern touch of je ne sais quoi.
Not only is “Box” an obvious dancefloor anthem, it also contains a message of resilience, wrapped in silky falsettos and intentionally naive lyrics. It’s rare to find this vulnerable yet uplifting originality in today’s musical landscape, where algorithm-friendly pop often dominates. With this debut release, Bibi Seck makes it unequivocally clear that she’s more than just a DJ, albeit one who plays gigs like Tomorrowland Brasil and Berghain’s Panorama Bar in Berlin.
