Most recently, TOKiMONSTA, the Los Angeles-based songwriter/producer/beatmaker, jolted mainstream dance fans into hip-hop's avant-garde with the psychedelic adventure of her first music video for Ultra Music, "The Force" featuring Kool Keith. Now, TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) has teamed with MNDR on"Go With It," her new single out today (February 26). Both "The Force" and "Go With It" appear on her new studio album HALF SHADOWS that's set for release April 2, with the video for "Go With It," filmed recently at Los Angeles' Low End Theory, to be made available soon.
On "Go With It," TOKiMONSTA unleashes a dazzling production of light chimes with conga style beats, supported with an angelic vocal by MNDR. "She's amazing. If I'm listening to anything it's probably her," MNDR recently told Soundtracking Blog regarding TOKiMONSTA. "We're both signed to Ultra and I was a big fan of hers before then. She sent us over a track, we sent it back and she wanted it to be her second single! We just performed the single together at Low End Theory in Los Angeles and it's going viral. I'm very excited about it!" Listen to "Go With It" here: http://youtu.be/GGEvu4H9qVg.
