Oklou and Bladee unite on new single ‘take me by the hand’.
The French creator’s new album ‘Choke Enough’ is out on February 7th, with Oklou set to hit London in March for a sold out show at Heaven. Part of a broader European tour, he’ll play Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris before flying out to North America.
The incoming album was developed with co-producers Casey MQ, Danny L Harle and A. G. Cook, and it leans into Oklou’s future-facing, genre-splicing appetite for the unknown.
Out now, ‘take me by the hand’ finds Oklou working in tandem with Bladee, two pivotal talents who seem to balance each other out. Moving between the airy, ephemeral aspects of Oklou’s parts, and the Brutalist weight of Bladee’s artistry, the song comes together succinctly.
Oklou comments…
“I wanted this song to sound like something ethereal but also very earthy – Bladee’s voice is helping to keep the feet on the ground…”
Tune in now.
