Multi-platinum artist Ashnikko makes their highly anticipated return with Smoochies, out 17 October. Equal parts playful, chaotic, and subversive, the album blends club, country, and hip-hop while embracing Ashnikko’s maximalist pop persona. Positioned as the “older sister” to DEMIDEVIL and a liberated evolution from WEEDKILLER, Smoochies trades fantasy worlds for raw autobiography through the lens of the “Smoochie Girl”—a messy, authentic figure who rejects beauty standards and the male gaze in favour of personal autonomy and joyful whimsy. With past hits like “Daisy,” “Stupid,” and “Slumber Party,” and a fanbase built on sold-out global tours, Smoochies marks the beginning of a fearless new era.
