OK Human is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by American rock band Weezer, set to be released on January 29, 2021 by Crush Music and Atlantic Records. Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo first mentioned OK Human prior to the release of Weezer in a February 2019 interview with the Los Angeles Times. He noted the album was “piano-based” and “very eccentric” and that he had recorded strings for the album at Abbey Road Studios. In May 2020, Cuomo commented during a Zoom call that he estimated OK Human was “75% done”, but that he did not anticipate the album being released in 2020.
The album was planned to be released following their intended fourteenth album, Van Weezer, but when the album suffered a year-long delay following the COVID-19 pandemic, the band hinted that they were shifting their focus to completing OK Human first. On November 17, 2020, the band announced the completion of OK Human during a Q&A session following a livestream performance. On January 18, 2021, the band announced a release date of the 29th of that month with the release date of the lead single, “All My Favorite Songs” on the 21st. The album title is a play on the 1997 Radiohead album OK Computer.
Along with the single, “All My Favorite Songs” has an accompanying music video. Watch it here.
