TOKiMONSTA crafts melodies that descend like a cool fog and beats that dip back into the glory years of Ninja Tune before moving the art form forward. The L.A. producer’s seven-track *Fovere* blends ornate instrumentals (the aptly named “Starlight Lace”) with soulful fare (“I’m Waiting,” featuring Gavin Turek\'s ethereal coo) and dance-trap thumpers like \"Put It Down,\" where Anderson .Paak\'s boasts ratchet the energy to a feverish apex. But the DJ plays most ably when weaving enigma, beckoning us into her blur of downtempo, hip-hop, and enveloping ambience.

At seven tracks and 24 minutes, Jennifer Lee's (aka TOKiMONSTA) Fovere is a brief, rounded project that does not ask very much of its listener.
