Earlier this year, the French singer and producer Oklou released Choke Enough, her absolutely stunning LP of sparkling, minimal, intensely moody pop music. When we picked our favorite albums of the first half of 2025, Choke Enough was #1. Around the same time that Choke Enough came out, Oklou became a mother. This fall, she’ll come to North America for the tour that she had to delay; every show is already sold out. She’ll also release a deluxe version of Choke Enough with four new songs. One of those tracks is out today, and it’s a collaboration with fellow pop deconstructionist FKA twigs.
