A debut album proper in all but name, in fact, ‘Demidevil’ shows that Ashnikko’s far more than a two-trend wonder – with a tank full of intriguing bangers that evade living under ‘Daisy’s formidable shadow.
Ten tracks of orgasm-loving, empowering anthems, that pack a punch musically as well as lyrically.
Demidevil ... sees Ashnikko revel in her playfully acerbic humour, but also explores friendships and the emotional vulnerability behind her facade.
‘Demidevil’ is not one for the faint of heart. Bold and brazen in her approach, Ashnikko leads a mission to champion the strong independent womxn who prioritises their own pleasure over being a slave to a soul sucking relationship.
DEMIDEVIL, her debut mixtape, is laced with her characteristic sweetly-spoken murderous rage. It is also a statement of intent musically, showcasing her brash, inventive take on genre.
Audacious and explicit, Ashton Casey fulfils all the hype on this playful, genre-surfing set.
Anything but boring, the skittish, fast-moving nature of its arrival only speaks to the raw energy of the artist behind it. Big, brash and bold, Ashnikko never pulls a single punch.
While several tracks are less than essential, the mixtape's best songs are powerful enough to make Demidevil the strongest showing of Ashnikko's formidable skills and uncompromising energy to date.
DEMIDEVIL is definitely a grower, on first few listens it’s good at best...and you’re lying if you don’t feel completely enticed by concluding track ‘Clitoris the Musical.’
The 24-year-old alt-pop rapper showcases her newly refined confidence, taking a step toward the pop powerhouse she’s capable of becoming.
Demidevil is poised to keep her relentlessly populating the feed in 2021, and with some impressively strong new bangers to boot. But it'll be crucial for Ashnikko to remember the difference between Nicki Minaj and the iLOVEFRiDAYs of the world.
Demidevil leaves quite some room for Ashnikko's debut album to improve, but does itself have some fun highlights.
DemiDevil rhymes like a half interesting mixtape where good and bad ideas intertwine, offering in most part of the project a bloated content but which in reality remains a set of wet firecrackers whereas we expected catchy bangers.
Beyond her fairy-tale world, which I honestly can't find an opening in order to be able to fully immerse myself in it, even though I have a lot of admiration for Japanese culture (among others), it must be pointed out that her character and her artistic vision are ... read more
ashnikko routinely polarizes her audience, and as result, she is conquering the rap game by storm. ash carries herself with an admirable amount of confidence, and that distinct attitude gives style to her music.
i was hype for this mixtape, and it does not disappoint. while many think ‘demidevil’ is problematic, i believe that at any given moment, the production makes up for anything that may fall flat.
