Los Angeles pop provocateur Ashnikko is back with a fierce new single. “Wet Like,” featuring Swedish artist COBRAH, lands today as the latest taste of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Smoochies, set for release October 17 via Parlophone/Warner Records. The track is an unapologetic collision of lust, power, and electronic heat engineered to dominate nightclubs and playlists alike.
On “Wet Like,” Ashnikko and COBRAH trade lines in a blunt, x-rated duet that pushes limits while reveling in pure fun. Ashnikko calls it “pure carnal lust and hedonism,” adding that it’s “music to stomp down the street to, eye-f*ck a stranger in the club to, music to top to.” The track lands alongside a string of recent singles, Smoochie Girl, Sticky Fingers, and Trinkets, each one building the world of Smoochies, an album that melds hyper-pop production with deeply personal, autobiographical lyrics.
Smoochies is a record made in response to a world that can feel hostile to femmes and marginalized communities. It’s playful, grotesque, explicit, tender, and defiant, Ashnikko taking up space on her own terms. “It’s sexy, playful, and feminine, while toeing the line of grotesque and absurd,” she explains. The album blends her signature hybrid-pop sound with a radical sense of autonomy, turning personal joy and whimsy into anthems for a generation unafraid to play loud and unapologetically.
To celebrate, Ashnikko is hitting the road on the Smoochies World Tour, kicking off in Warsaw in January 2026 and covering North America, Europe, and Australia with stops in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Sydney. Intimate pre-release shows in Birmingham and Leeds offer early glimpses of the record brought to life live.
With over 3.9 billion streams and 700 million video views to date, Ashnikko is proving that one album was only the beginning. Wet Like and Smoochies position her as a fearless, boundary-pushing force in pop, ready to turn arenas, clubs, and festivals into her playground.
