TOKiMONSTA ft MNDR Video For “Go With It” Premieres Today // Album ‘Half Shadows’ Due Out April 9 on Ultra Music

“This is a ladyforce to be reckoned with. L.A.’s illustrious beatmaker TOKiMONSTA collaborated with MNDR for the drizzly pop single, ‘Go For It’ on Ultra. The result is poppier than we’re used to from TOKi, and she wears it well.” – Halley Bondy, MTV IGGY (2/27/13)

“The producer’s skills truly shine in this percussion driven track. With beats and synths flowing together along with MNDR’s alluring lyrics, TOKiMONSTA demonstrates her ability to blend styles effortlessly. And once again she’s able to been she’s capable of stepping outside of her niche and give us another booming single.” – Clyde Irwin Barretto, PREFIX (3/14/13)

“Beat mistress TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) has always been the one to produce exotic instrumentals ranging from downtempo to experimental. This Los Angeles based producer has always won our hearts with her conceptual textures blended with hints of vintage effects while using a vast synth palette. Her latest single ‘Go With It’ features the powerful pop vocals of MNDR. This particular piece is a bit off the usual trail for TOKiMONSTA, in respects to the vibes and mood. Typically, her work has an underlying dark tone. ‘Go With It’ marks a change-up in her style, as she produces a lighter and more uplifting type of beat. Coupled with lyrics sung brilliantly by MNDR, it makes for a great atmospheric feeling with an overall warm feeling.”
– Phillip Yung, EARMILK (3/5/13)

“The Los Angeles native is one of the most exciting female artist/producers out there today, and ‘Go With It’ features synth-pop duo MNDR (of ‘Bang Bang Bang’ fame). If this song is any indication of what is to come on TOKiMONSTA’s album [Half Shadows], it’s something to look forward to.  ‘Go With It’ is an ambient, R&B-infused soundscape that flows through speakers like smoke from the tip of a cigarette. The vocals are subtle but strong, layered over the beating of a conga drum—an instrument that I feel is sorely underused. This one is definitely going to be in heavy rotation.”—Jennsdrunk, PIGEONS & PLANES (3/4/13)

“Driven by a combination of drum sounds, synths, and computerized sounds effects, LA native producer TOKiMONSTA returns today with a new single titled ‘Go With It.’ This infectious dance number mixes an eclectic collection of sounds as backdrop for the smooth vocals of singer MNDR to deliver a catchy single. It has been awhile since we heard new material from either of the two artists and this airy gem is a definitely an answer to fans’ prayers. TOKiMONSTA has been capitalizing on the synth-pop sound and her buzz keeps growing on the underground.” 
— Tyler Cole, THE MUSIC NINJA (3/4/13)

“This matchup stands as one of those that could be called ‘perfect.’  MNDR gained notoriety for her angelic voice, and TOKiMONSTA gained her fan adoration through angelic (read dazzling) production.  Pun intended, the collab was a match made in heaven (insert rimshot here).  ‘Go With It,’ the second drop from the aforementioned album [Half Shadows] is lightweight aural ambrosia combining TOKi’s dancing chimes and conga style drum patterns with MNDR’s signature Metatronic vocals.  One of the reasons it took us so long to post this on the SF URB side was that we were too busy repeating the track and discussing new ways to fit angelic terms into our piece.” – Phil Nacionales, URB (2/28/13)
