About
Marylou Mayniel (aka Oklou) is a classically trained French producer, vocalist, and composer based between Paris and London. After self-releasing on SoundCloud, she garnered an underground following, which led her to collaborate with Caroline Polachek, Flume, Mura Masa, Sampha, OPN, and more. With the release of her critically acclaimed debut album ‘choke enough’ (ft. Bladee, underscores, Danny L Harle, AG Cook), she evolved from a quiet cult-favorite to a global popstar beloved by Billie Eilish (“Honestly, [Oklou’s] the first thing that’s gotten me excited in a while”), Lorde, Addison Rae, Ethel Cain, Rosalía, Clairo, etc. Her debut has granted praise from The New York Times (Artist to Watch), Pitchfork (cover of their next issue), Crack Mag (cover), NME (cover), Hypebeast (cover), Pigeons & Planes (Best New Artist), The Guardian (One to Watch), Resident Advisor (RA Recommends), Rough Trade (AOTY #2), Stereogum (AOTY #1), The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Financial Times, and many more.
