17 December 2025 - Oklou - family and friends

Before I release my list of the best albums of 2025, which I am doing next week, I wanted to pay an acknowledgement to what others were saying about albums.  

And Oklou's album choke enough is one that is populating so many year end lists - and deservedly so.  It's a great and mellow pop album - one that sounds unique and cool.  French artist Oklou (prounouce it like "OK Lou", not "oakloo" - it's a play on her real first name, Marylou) has made a pretty solid career as a producer and artist, and she's hitting a solid stride.  

This was the first single, and it is a cool song co-produced and co-written by the artist. 


Hearing it live is a similar experience, honestly. Oklou is nothing if not consistent. I see good things coming.  

By the way, she did this show while pretty significantly pregnant.
