Ice Spice Says Her Mother's Aesthetic Is Her Inspiration

"Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I'd see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form," she explained. "It's duck nails, it's a tramp stamp. It's brown lip liner no matter where you go. So thankfully I had her as my inspo growing up." She then went on to discuss how she chose the title of the project, describing how after coming up with countless different ideas, she ultimately opted to keep it short and sweet.




"I have a book full of pages of album names and different ideas, and I just really find the beauty and simplicity," she said, "I was just like, 'You know what? I want it to be short, I don't want it to be this super long phrase.'" What do you think of Ice Spice revealing some of the things that inspired her upcoming album, Y2K?
