Professed ‘pop disrupter’ and songwriter behind 2019’s viral hit Stupid, Ashnikko, has announced her second full-length album, Smoochies, out 17th October. The follow-up to 2023’s Weedkiller, the collection of fifteen tracks will see Ashnikko playing four UK dates in February 2026.
Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin and London will see performances from the You Make Me Sick! singer, whose fusion of maximalist hyperpop and alternative hip-hop landed her debut in the UK Albums Top 10 and countless positive reviews from both crowds and critics alike. The news of a new album follows the release of Ashnikko’s latest single, Trinkets, as well as Itty Bitty, a live favourite that dropped back in March. Both tracks will feature on Smoochies and expand on the sex-positive, electro-pop sound of her other work.
Smoochies is out October 17th via Parlophone Records. Pre-order from the official store here.
