Review
Ashnikko's debut mixtape, "Demidevil," is a fearless and vibrant journey into her distinctive artistic realm. Dropping on January 15, 2021, this mixtape is a masterful blend of pop, trap, and nu-metal that mirrors her rich tapestry of musical influences. Boasting ten tracks, it includes unforgettable singles like "Cry" featuring Grimes, "Daisy," and "Deal with It" featuring Kelis. The themes of "Demidevil" are unapologetically centered on female empowerment, sexual independence, and bold self-expression—elements that are quintessentially Ashnikko.
Her lyrics are a mix of provocative wit and humor, turning the tables on traditional notions of femininity in music. With a production that nods to early 2000s nostalgia but feels refreshingly modern, Ashnikko's confident and versatile vocal presence ties everything together. Accolades have poured in, with "Demidevil" earning a spot on numerous best-of-2021 lists, including Billboard's. This mixtape marks an innovative and electrifying entry that cements Ashnikko as a formidable force in the alt-pop universe. As Ashnikko herself might say, "This isn't a phase; this is the future." - Destiny
