Description
Marylou Mayniel, aka Oklou, describes 'Choke Enough' as an intense album. It's full of directions, tentatives, and irregularities, mirroring her experiences in recent years as her heart and conscience have moved away from self - centricity. In an era less relevant to self - development and self - achievement obsession, each song in this album calls for a different path, like a quest for sense and purpose.
After collaborating with top names such as Mura Masa, Pomme, and Flavien Berger, and remixing stars like Dua Lipa, Angèle, Caroline Polachek, and A.G. Cook, Oklou took time to reflect on her career and desires, resulting in 'Choke Enough'.
The album maps an emotional landscape with Oklou's signature warm and beautiful productions. It combines ambient sounds, minimal club rhythms, delicate synthesizer arpeggios, and found sound samples. The title track, 'Choke Enough', embodies the project's search for meaning and the need to be touched by any moment, whether a grand epiphany or an ordinary daily one.
Mayniel recalls getting the inspiration for the first song while parked in a dark corner in Los Angeles. The words came suddenly, a surge to tell her story of pursuing intense emotions. This album reflects on the subconscious and conscious demands of an artistic psychology and the challenges of existing and creating in a short and transient life.
