1. Incredible singles
With the release of the first singles, we can already feel the magic in the air. “family and Friends” immediately took us to pop heaven with its fairy-like vocals and a chorus that opens the gates to the divine. “Harvest Sky” is equally aspirational, quickly becoming one of her most critically acclaimed tracks with its danceable melodies. Meanwhile, “Choke Enough”, the album’s title track, only builds upon the hype generated by the previous songs. Pop heaven has a name, and it’s Oklou.
2. Produced by the elite
What do A.G. Cook, Danny L Harle, and Cassey MQ have in common? They are some of the most influential pop producers of our time, and they are also the masterminds behind Oklou’s upcoming album. A.G. Cook is celebrated for his close collaborations with Charli XCX, Danny L. Harle is renowned for his work with artists like Caroline Polachek and Dua Lipa, and Cassey MQ played a major role in shaping Oklou’s debut album Galore, helping her define her ambient electro-pop sound from the start. With these three powerhouses behind her, this album promises to be a feast for our ears.
