DJ and producer TOKiMONSTA has announced the postponement of her Eternal Reverie album release and cancellation of her upcoming tour due to “an extremely urgent personal matter.” The artist posted the announcement on social media yesterday, stating she is safe and healthy, but she needs to direct her energy to family matters at this time.
“You guys deserve me at my best and that’s just not where I am right now”

TOKiMONSTA announced her Eternal Reverie album and accompanying tour earlier this summer, which was set to kick off at the end of this month with numerous stops across the U.S. She’s released three singles off the album so far, including ‘… Switch It,’ ‘Corazón / Death by Disco, Pt. 2,’ and most recently, ‘On Sum.’ According to Spotify, the album is now set to release on March 7th, 2025, but this is likely still to be determined, pending the status of TOKiMONSTA’s personal affairs.
About TOKiMONSTA
Born as Jennifer Lee in the Southern California city of Torrance, TOKiMONSTA is known for her creative production, particularly in instrumental Hip-Hop. She’s also one of the top Asian-American EDM artists, and received a Grammy Awards nomination in 2019 for her 2017 album, Lune Rouge.
In late 2015, TOKiMONSTA was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, a progressive cerebrovascular disease which constricts certain arteries in the brain. She has spoken openly about her experience suffering from aphasia, which is a loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage. According to a recent article from NPR, the level of TOKiMONSTA’s aphasia was so severe that she was unable to speak. TOKiMONSTA later went through two brain surgeries in January 2016 and has since made a full recovery.
While the album postponement and tour cancellation is disappointing for all TOKiMONSTA fans, we are keeping her and her family in our thoughts at this time and hope to see her back in action soon.
