Ashnikko returns with Smoochies, an audacious blend of club, country, and hip-hop that pushes their maximalist pop persona into bold new territory. Described as the “older sister” to Demidevil and a liberated evolution from Weedkiller, the album trades fantasy settings for autobiographical storytelling, channelled through the “Smoochie Girl” - a messy, chaotic, and authentic figure who rejects beauty standards and the male gaze in favour of personal autonomy and joyful whimsy. Equal parts playful, provocative, and absurd, Smoochies captures Ashnikko moving beyond the pressures of viral fame to deliver their most personal and collaborative work yet. Building on the success of tracks like ‘Daisy’, ‘Stupid’ and ‘Slumber Party’, and backed by a global fanbase forged through sold-out tours, this release signals the start of a fearless new chapter.
