About This Track
A Dork four-star record, 'DEMIDEVIL' arrived in 2021 after months of teasing and release-date shuffling. 'Daisy', released in July 2020 as the mixtape's second single, had already been performed live in 2019 before Ashnikko and producer Thomas Slinger committed it to record. The track sets the tone for the project's deliberately provocative energy, Ashnikko flipping princess tropes into declarations of power and autonomy. The production, handled by Slinger, moves fast and hits hard. Ashnikko's delivery toggles between melodic hooks and confrontational bars, the lyric built around inversions of expectation. She writes herself as king rather than princess, the imagery mixing daisies and bruises, moonlight and blue ice, sweetness undercut by threat. The chorus lands with clarity: being difficult is the point, not a problem to solve. 'DEMIDEVIL' as a whole leans into genre-free magpie instincts, sampling Kelis on 'Deal With It' and reworking Avril Lavigne on 'L8r Boi'. 'Daisy' fits that pattern, big and brash without desaturation, an introduction that refuses to pull a single punch.
"Daisy" is a single by Ashnikko, from the album DEMIDEVIL, released 15th January 2019. The track is 2:27 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Ashnikko.

Dr. Martha Newson heads up new on-site research lab studying festival behaviour.

BitterSweet returns to Poland with a stacked bill built for discovery, singalongs and everything in between.
Ashnikko has made a record that treats provocation as pop craft.

Tonight, Ashnikko proves she is a one-of-a-kind star.

Two years ago, **Ashnikko** announced a trio of shows at London’s Omeara in support of their ‘Hi, It’s Me’ EP. Over those three nights, they were set to play to just under 1,000 people before the global pandemic put a stop to those plans. Tonight, one mixtape and a handful of singles later, Ashnikko finally gets to play a headline show in her adopted hometown of London.
Big, brash and bold, Ashnikko never pulls a single punch.
