Ashnikko – has announced their sophomore album “Smoochies” + released the video for ‘Trinkets’ & set to play Dublin next year

Pop disruptor, Ashnikko has announced their sophomore album “Smoochies”, out 17th October. In celebration of this announcement, Ashnikko has released the music video for ‘Trinkets’ released earlier this week and announced a UK tour in February 2026.

Premiered on Radio 1 as Jack Saunders ”Hottest Record”’, Trinkets sees Ashnikko turn casual dating into an art form, collecting men like shiny souvenirs as she sings about her conquests over a chaotic, candy-coated beat. Directed by Léa Esmaili the music video gives us inside access to Ashnikko’s art nouveau candy coloured world brimming with doll parts, ashtrays, D&D dice and keychains of men. In a time where minimalism and clean girl aesthetic is on the rise, Ashnikko leans into maximalism as a form of expression. 

Speaking on the ‘Trinkets, Ashnikko says :”My little princess boys, love being trinkets, hanging off my bag, looking up at me with smiles on their faces, swinging as I walk.”
