French songwriter Oklou has unveiled her new single, "Family and Friends," which marks her first musical release following a striking mixtape earlier this year. The track showcases Oklou at her most introspective, engaging deeply with profound questions of existence and identity. In the song, she poses the contemplative question: "Are you even real?"
Born Marylou Mayniel, Oklou experiences a sonic exploration that combines opaque arrangements with gossamer sound layers, setting a climate ripe for personal reflection. In discussion of the single, she describes it as feeling like a battle where she aims to uncover answers to unarticulated questions while grappling with abstract notions possibly linked to memory. Oklou states, "Maybe I like the idea that I'd be running away from something, and I'm looking for good reasons to run. Maybe I just like that."
Listeners can now tune in to the emotional depth Oklou brings to her latest work. For more details, visit the official site Clash Music. Tune into the song and experience a blend of poignant lyrics and atmospheric sounds resonating with themes of searching and self-discovery.
