“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.”

Today, Oklou just dropped two fresh tracks: “harvest sky” with underscores, and “obvious,” with production help from Danny L Harle, Casey MQ, and Nick Leon. “harvest sky” kicks off with a trancey melody before exploding into a big room anthem, while “obvious” leans into her signature airy, spacious vibes.

Oklou shares her thoughts on the new singles: “‘harvest sky’ is probably my third attempt to talk about a thing that happens at times during festivities; zoom out from the crowd and enter a lonely mental space. ‘obvious’ has got many names in the past, but I love this one cause this track feels very close to what defines a special tone in my music, in a core-ish way. It also talks about something dear to my heart: music vs words.”

Alongside this double single, she has also announced a tour spanning North America and Europe. Listen to the tracks and check the full itinerary below.

With this cold and snowy weather, there is nothing better than music to warm us up! Hopefully, our curator’s new playlist is here!

This week in music, we cover ourselves with warm blankets and even more soothing pop music by Young & Sick and his sickening version of Fleetwood Mac‘s “Dreams”.

Get cosy and moist in the arms of a “Daddy” with sensuous Sakima ft YLXR. If you are feeling more like a romantic, then “Pick Up Your Heart” with the delicate Paige Bea. But we won’t skip on the synth beats either with “Pussy Like That” with Swedish Italo Bitches.

Another great cover comes from Vera and her take on James Blake‘s “Life Round Here”. Artist Von Sell sells sultry R&B in his newest track “Hell No”.

Gender-bending artist Saint Torrente makes us heat up the night with “Calamus” and for one last wintery cover we go to Anna Christensen and her accoustic version of “Super Massive Black Hole” by Muse.
