“Put It Down,” the first single off “Fovere,” Tokimonsta’s forthcoming mini-album, began with chords sent to her by producer KRNE, which she built upon and then brought in rapper Anderson .Paak to tie it all together. Tokimonsta’s signature sound revolves around finding unique ways to implement new technology with instruments and multimedia gear in blending electronic, hip-hop and dance music together, so her approach to working with others comes with the same attention to detail and fusion. Additional collabos on “Fovere” include Jonny Pierce of the Drums, Kiya Lacey and Gavin Turek. Though a beloved member of Brainfeeder and Ultra Records extended family, “Fovere” will be the third mini-album to be released on Tokimonsta’s own imprint, Young Art Records on Jan. 29, following last year’s mini-album “Desiderium” and this year’s “You’re Invited” joint EP with Turek. Though it’s a “mini” album, she says “Fovere” — which means “to cherish” in Latin — is her most complete work to date. “By complete I mean it’s a body of work that is whole and that I’m proud of. It represents my life at the time it was being made—a point where a lot of transitions were being made and I had the biggest personal growth spurt.” The message is to cherish everything, “good, bad, light and dark,” so sayeth Tokimonsta.
