Two weeks out from the release of her sophomore album Smoochies, which arrives Friday 17 October (pre-order/pre-save here), American art pop superstar Ashnikko has shared new single, ‘Wet Like’.
The pulsating dance pop club track, which features Swedish singer-songwriter Cobrah, finds the two trading verses about their carnal desires, with Ashnikko purring lines like “You spit, I swig, big gulp bitch / Hop, skip, flip, jump on the dick like,” and Cobrah coming in with “Tie me up, I'm lazy, I want you to do the work / I wanna feel you deep and dirty like your tongue is on my.”
Speaking on the single, Ashnikko says, “This is pure carnal lust and hedonism. This is music to stomp down the street to, eye f*ck a stranger in the club to, music to top to!”
Ashnikko also makes her return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 as part of the Smoochies World Tour. Presented by MG Live and Frontier Touring, the bubblegum pop starlet’s tour will see her perform songs from her upcoming record Smoochies alongside tracks from her hit debut album, Weedkiller.
The tour commences in Auckland, New Zealand, at the Auckland Town Hall on Wednesday 16 September.
