Pop provocateur Ashnikko is back with exciting news about a brand new album! The blue-haired star will unveil her second album, ‘Smoochies’, on October 17th. Following her 2023 debut, ‘WEEDKILLER’, ‘Smoochies’ is expected to be her most personal work yet. With fifteen tracks, Ashnikko describes it as “like the older sister of ‘Demidevil’." It embraces a sexy, playful, and feminine vibe while straddling the line between grotesque and absurd. “I often feel like purse sediment – a mess of crumbs, gum, receipts, and lip gloss I’ve forgotten about – and this album reflects that,” she said. “This is the first time I've written very autobiographically, but the essence revolves around personal autonomy and joyful whimsy.” The tracklist is as follows:
