Eccentric American artist Ashnikko has released her new single “Smoochie Girl”, blending infectious pop, punk, and electronic sounds with her signature theatrical flair. The video, featuring Starlight Kid, serves as a visual journey through inner conflict, transformation, and self-empowerment.
Known for her fearless genre fusion and bold aesthetic, Ashnikko (real name Ashton Nicole Casey) follows up her acclaimed 2023 album Weedkiller with a new creative chapter — “Smoochie Girl” introduces the sonic and visual world of her upcoming project Smoochies.
In the video, filled with symbolism and contrasting imagery, Starlight Kid appears as a counterpart — an alter ego or guide through emotions and strength. The song moves between tenderness and aggression, which Ashnikko describes as “a kiss and a punch at the same time.”
“Smoochie Girl (Starring Starlight Kid)” reaffirms Ashnikko as one of the most exciting voices in modern pop and alternative music — an artist who merges aesthetics, power, and vulnerability into a truly unique expression.
