Cum 2 is released on the 14th February 2025
Lili Aslo (Knife Girl) explains the idea behind Cum 2 and lead single “Fantasies”
“CUM 2 is the afterglow to the intensity of my 2023 album CUM. It consists of unreleased tracks that didn’t land on the original CUM, some remixes, a cover, and a “stripped” version. CUM 2 is my way of closing the CUM chapter of Knife Girl.
“Fantasies” is a song I started making as something dumb and fun that my (gay) friends could dance to at the club. Like most of the songs from my 2023 album CUM, it’s very influenced by Sophie. This is also one of the first times I’m not producing entirely by myself, as this was co-produced by the lovely Danielle Beatrice and Tareq Tryti.” “Fantasies” is released on the 24th January.
Listen to “Fantasies”
Initial Reaction
“One of the best twisted pop songs of the beginning of the year” Rumba
“But there’s also a high-energy hedonism that feels part-inspired by the New York ballroom scene, overtly sexual and sensual, and very, very fierce.” Analogue Trash
““Fantasies” immediately grabs your attention with its striking beat and polished production. The song invites you to dance, supported by powerful percussion and a vibrant bass that resonates through the speakers.” Iggy Magazine
“The chorus of “Fantasies” is killer, because it hits the target on the first shot. Electronic and pop are the bones and heart of this song, but there is also a bit of house in the DNA” Distopic
“Knife Girl’s «Fantasies»: A Bold Electro Pop Anthem for the Dance Floor and Beyond” Rmas
““Fantasies” is the perfect song to “fry” at the club until the early hours.” Roadie Music
“With a striking beat and sophisticated production, “Fantasies” invites you to dance, driven by energetic percussions and a vibrant bass.” Teco Apple
“It’s a song that transports you to the dance floor while reminding you to celebrate every moment with passion and pride. Irresistible and cathartic, Fantasies marks a new peak in Lili Aslo’s artistic journey.” Extra Va French

Praise for CUM
‘This is a vulnerable record for her to release, and it will rightfully resonate. Its themes will be familiar to those who’ve been through it.’ The Quietus
“Cum takes over the spaces of sexuality in just over half an hour. Aslo’s music includes an interest in both bedroom and party music, and there is also a clear understanding of creating both. It is largely for this reason that Cum is an entertaining and well-executed album” Helsingin Sanomat
“CUM is a bold and high-level musical way out of a difficult subject. At the same time, it’s a go-to dance album.” 4/5 Kulttuuritoimitus
“Orgasmisk hyperpop” 6/6 Gaffa.se
“Cum-album is a raw, unrestrained and a brave self-reflection of its creator in so many ways that it is a breath-taking experience.” Soundi
“Diversity of sounds, colors and scents in the production of CUM is not only thematically in line with the expression of experiences, emotions and reality of being a human, a transgender one, but an essential and characteristic part of hyperpop. CUM varies and renews those characteristics of Loose microgenre in an exciting and refreshing manner” Totuus
“The focus is on the production, which is dynamic, deliciously crisp and often surprising. The music is hard, electronic and challenging, both in text and sound.” Nöjesguiden
