French producer, vocalist, and composer Marylou Mayniel—better known as Oklou—has detailed her highly anticipated debut album, choke enough, dropping in February 2025. Released via True Panther, a label celebrated for championing groundbreaking talent, the album boasts collaborations with Casey MQ, Danny L Harle, and A.G. Cook, along with guest features from Bladee and underscores.
“choke enough is a very intense album for me,” she stated. “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.”
So far, Oklou has treated us to “family and friends,” “obvious,” and “harvest sky.” Alongside the album announcement, she shared today the ethereal title track, “choke enough,” as well as her thoughts on the release: “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.”
