Oklou’s intimate pop world around choke enough
Oklou is the recording name of Marylou Mayniel, a French musician and producer whose work connects pop, r&b, and electronic detail. On choke enough, released February 7, 2025, she shapes songs around loops, synthesis, and close collaborators including Casey MQ. The album was built over years, and Mayniel describes it as an effort to follow instinct rather than a fixed concept. Her songs also reflect family life, change, and the pull between freedom and attachment.
