TOKiMONSTA teams up with Gavin Turek to deliver new single ‘Lucky U’

Grammy-nominated artist, producer and label-head TOKiMONSTA has teamed up with LA-based singer Gavin Turek to deliver her newest single, ‘Lucky U’ out now on Young Art Records. The track serves as the final release ahead of TOKiMONSTA’s highly anticipated studio album, Eternal Reverie, slated for release on March 7.

Building on their undeniable chemistry from their previous You’re Invited collab EP, ‘Lucky U’ is a masterful blend of TOKiMONSTA’s signature lush production style and Gavin Turek’s powerhouse vocals, embracing a bolder and more energetic approach than TOKi’s previous releases. Gavin’s voice takes on a new level of dynamism, effortlessly riding the track’s punchy, East Coast club-inspired drum break. Layered with minor deep house chords and chopped-up vocal samples, the song creates a groovy, densely textured soundscape, while a catchy synth arpeggio weaves through the track, alternating with a delicate piano lick and a plucked string melody that add suspense and momentum. This dynamic arrangement builds into an uplifting anthem, highlighting TOKiMONSTA’s unparalleled ability to seamlessly fuse genres into dance floor-ready anthems, marking a distinct evolution from the more reflective and ethereal tones of Eternal Reverie.

Speaking about their collaboration, “Gavin Turek and I have been creating together for years, and every time, it’s like catching lightning in a bottle. ‘Lucky U’ is more than a song, it’s a mindset. This track is all about owning your worth and knowing that being with you is more than a privilege—it’s a stroke of luck,” says TOKiMONSTA. Gavin Turek adds, “‘Lucky U’ is a playful way of reminding someone that you are the prize. I think in this current dating culture, it’s vital to maintain your confidence but honestly, that can be difficult. Many of my lyrics act as reminders to myself and others that whoever gets my time and my energy is blessed and that’s not something to be shy about.”
