PRAISE FOR BIG GIGANTIC & BRIGHTER FUTURE 2:
“Big Gigantic’s collab with Brooke Williams entitled ‘Losing My Mind’
is a pop-forward knockout. It sees the unity of Big Gigantic’s production prowess,
and Williams’s stunning vocal performance – a truly marvelous combination.”
– THIS SONG IS SICK
“‘Losing My Mind’ is the perfect fusion of Big Gigantic and Brooke Williams, as they each use their unique skills to create a pop-tinged anthem.”
– EDM.com
“One of the most legendary dance tag teams in the entire history of the genre is Big Gigantic, a Colorado-based pair of incredibly talented musicians who have blended a variety of styles together to form an upbeat, energetic sound that is more individualistic to them than any other sounds I can think of…It goes without saying that Vic Mensa and Mick Jenkins are two Chicago legends, and with a masterful foundation built by Big Gigantic on ‘Just the Same,’ I can’t imagine a better anthem as the weather starts to brighten up.”
– LYRICAL LEMONADE
“‘Open Your Mind’ boasts both producers’ unique styles, well-decorated with smooth sax and bouncing beats…An animated accompanying visual sees both Big Gigantic and GRiZ dive through psychedelic landscapes and ‘80s aesthetics. Reverberating basslines take fans through trip-filled ventures as nodding heads and sleeping cats relax themselves into the track.”
– DANCING ASTRONAUT
