HEADING ON SOLD OUT UK & EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR AFTER SOLD OUT NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
PERFORMING WITH LORDE IN LUXEMBOURG & MAKING COACHELLA DEBUT
Following the sweeping critical acclaim for her debut full-length album choke enough—hailed as one of 2025’s most vital releases—vocalist, producer, and composer Oklou returns to release choke enough (Deluxe) via True Panther, with an expansion pack vinyl releasing Nov 28th. The release follows Oklou’s stunning Tiny Desk performance where Oklou played the marimba and piano alongside an eight-piece choir. The performance also featured an early preview of deluxe album track “what’s good.”
The deluxe album builds on the record’s warm production and its blend of ambient textures with minimal club rhythms. The project adds four new songs that expand the album’s universe including Oklou’s latest single “viscus” featuring FKA twigs, which came alongside a Gil Gharbi-directed video. Oklou spoke in more depth about the deluxe album in her cover story for Pitchfork, where journalist Anna Gaca traveled to Pau, France, to join Oklou on her summer retreat and reflect on her breakthrough year and artistic evolution.
Oklou also recently featured on PinkPantheress’ remix album Fancy Some More? On the track “Girl Like Me”.
Fresh off her sold-out North American headline tour, which included stops in New York, Montreal, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco, Oklou now heads overseas for the UK and European leg, kicking off November 7th at Pitchfork Festival London. On November 9th, she’ll join Lorde as a special guest in Luxembourg before resuming her headline dates across Amsterdam, Berlin, Manchester, Paris and more. Looking ahead to 2026, Oklou is set for a landmark year of festival performances, including her Coachella debut and appearances at Primavera Sound and Laneway Festival.
Named among the best albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, and Stereogum, and landing France’s Le Prix Joséphine Album of the Year award, choke enough has cemented Oklou’s status as a cultish outsider pop star. In the wake of the album’s success, Oklou has drawn high profile co-signs from Billie Eilish who noted, “Honestly, she’s the first thing that’s gotten me excited in a while,” and Ethel Cain who added, “I’m obsessed with this album, it’s like if they made pop music for bugs”, as well as Rosalía and Lorde.
Born Marylou Mayniel in rural western France, Oklou’s musical foundation was built on classical piano and cello, before she fell in love with electronic production and began performing her first shows in Paris. Her 2020 mixtape Galore marked a creative breakthrough, blending introspective songwriting with futuristic sound design. Dazed praised Galore as, “sophisticated in its composition yet totally cutting edge in its sound.”
With choke enough, Oklou has evolved into one of the most compelling voices in modern music—bridging intimacy and innovation with fearless emotional clarity.
