OKLOU and FKA twigs bring what might be the most head-spinning collab of the year
“Viscus” is truly a gift from (an alt) god. The creative alliance we’ve been praying for is finally here, and their first lovechild does not disappoint. Twigs’ and Oklou’s vocals are perfectly paired — delicately strung, angelic yet mighty, they glide through the dreamlike mist that thickens over the synths as the song unfolds. The music video gentry immerses us further
into the preternaturally-hued world of “choke enough”, Oklou’s debut album that is getting a deluxe expansion at the end of the month.
Both known for pushing the limits of their physical forms, the two icons came together over shared experiences with stomach aches (to which all hot girls can relate) and complicated relationships with their bodies on a track that is simultaneously submerging and uplifting.
