Oklou announces debut album choke enough due Feb 7th 2025 via True Panther (Grace Ives, Model/Actriz, Frost Children). The announcement comes alongside the title track, “choke enough.” Oklou’s debut album was developed with co-producers Casey MQ, Danny L Harle and A. G. Cook, and features Bladee and underscores. . Oklou shares, “choke enough is a very intense album for me. It’s filled with directions, tentatives and irregularities, reflecting on my last years on this planet as my heart and conscience has really decentered from myself.”

Oklou will be performing a string of North American and European tour dates in February and March 2025. The tour begins in Europe with stops including Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and London and then continues on to North America with dates in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

The French vocalist, producer and composer’s new single follows several recently released tracks “harvest sky,” featuring Bay Area artist underscores, sensuous companion, “obvious” and “family and friends,” which came alongside a Gil Gharbi directed music video, which will all be included on the forthcoming album. Speaking further about the new single “choke enough” and its place on the album Oklou adds, “This title track is important enough to have been chosen as the title track. Not sure whether it’s because it’s one of the oldest sounds of the record, or simply my favorite? Maybe it’s because it holds an important question that I’m trying to display within the entire album; what situations are we ready to put ourselves into in order to provoke sensations and drama, in order to feel alive.”

Oklou’s first musical experiences consisted of classical piano and cello lessons before she fell in love with electronic music and took up production. Mayniel eventually moved to Paris, where she hosted weekly radio shows and performed her first live shows as Oklou. After two EPs, 2017’s For The Beasts and 2018’s The Rite Of May, Mayniel received international acclaim, accelerated through collaborations with Mura Masa, A. G. Cook and EASYFUN (the last two both producers of Charli XCX’s Brat) and culminating in her full-length mixtape galore in 2020.
