Russian rapper 9mice explores dark melodic trap on “Smokey Eyes,” a song out October 23, 2026, and on his 2026 studio album, THIDAAT. The music is co-produced by Russian producers shryne and CHAIKA and has the atmospheric vibe of 9mice and the VIPERR group.
Before its official release, “Smokey Eyes” was previewed in a 16-second clip posted by 9mice on October 8. The clip became viral on TikTok and SoundCloud, spawning fan comments and cosmetics posts under the hashtag #smokeyeye.
The track is foggy sound married to melodic lyrics, with gloomy opium trap and fashion-focused visuals. 9mice’s lyrics name-check Kate Moss, Avril Lavigne, Celine, Gucci, and other luxury brands, creating a portrayal of a muse through references to pop culture and style.
Themes of attraction and tangled online romance suit the track’s somber musical approach, and the subdued, ambient beat leaves space for 9mice’s melodious delivery. The release also brings one of the anticipated tunes of the album into full view after a snippet had sparked intrigue among listeners.
9mice continues to develop the world of THIDAAT on “Smokey Eyes” with a mix of internet-age romance, fashion references, and murky trap production.
