audrey horne 1,180 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 hey... hey... how y'all doing? Today I want to draw your attention on a new alternative pop queen: Oklou. She is a French producer, songwriter and vocalist coming with her first full-lenght mixtape "Galore" next month. She grew up in the countryside of west France, and was first exposed to music through a classical education with piano and cello. She subsequently learnt to produce electronic music, discovering a new digital world of artists fusing visceral production with their own unique voices and began performing her first live shows under the name Oklou. A series of online releases, mixtapes, collaborations, live shows and DJ sets have established her as a key part of the new European electronic underground scene. While waiting for the complete project - due on 24th September 2020, this week she dropped an EP with 6 titles, including previously released "unearth me" and new track "god's chariots". ed: She has been working on her sound since 2013, finding her style and switching up genres. I personally think her music is so far ahead of her peers in the ambient-pop/art-pop/alternative R&B game. She said she draws her biggest vocal inspirations from Frank Ocean, James Blake, Justin Bieber, SZA, the singer of Wu Lyf, Jhené Aiko, Drake and Palmistry. Production-wise she reminds me of some of Arca, Charli XCX, FKA Twigs, Sega Bodega or Smerz's work. She also delivers amazing foresty visuals. Since a lot of members follow closely some of previously mentioned artists, I thought it was worth sharing the news. Gurlz, guyz, and everyone in between, please grap your earphones/buds, go into the woods and be ready to let Oklou's sound transcends your soul and body. __ her lastest videos: a personal favourite: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
