After almost a decade since her critically acclaimed debut album, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer MNDR returns today with her much anticipated new album, Hell To Be You Babyout now on WonderSound Records. The album serves as both a return to form for the pop provocateur and the next chapter in the repertoire of one of the most dynamic music auteurs in recent history. Both sonically and visually, Hell To Be You Baby is MNDR’s grandiose take on the obsession with click-bait culture and the Cult of Me generation. 

 

Following a late spring tease with the epic single “Love In Reverse” with Empress Of, MNDR announced the new album with Mark Ronson co-produced title track, “Hell To Be You Baby”. The announcement was paired with a cryptic and appropriately cultish visual starring MNDR and Lawrence Rothman. Watch HERE. No stranger to press fanfare, the tracks garnered early praise from Rolling StoneVarietyBillboardStereogumUnder The Radar and more. MNDR enlisted dance heavyweights TOKiMONSTARAC and Porches for otherworldly remixes that launched tracks from Hell To Be You Baby onto playlists at Spotify, Apple and Tidal, also making the album #1 on the NACC Electronic Adds at college radio and #8 on the NACC Top Add Chart overall.

 

MNDR has always proudly boasted her independence, from running her own record label and being one of the most trusted and respected songwriters and producers in the music industry to consistently championing causes to give back to marginalized communities. Born on a small farm in rural North Dakota, MNDR began her journey recording with her father at nine years old. Warner bloomed in the Oakland DIY scene and later moved to NYC, where she met her production partner, Peter Wade. Warner continued her production journey after fate introduced her to legendary UK producer Mark Ronson, which led to a massive early collaboration with Ronson & Q-Tip on the Top 10 hit "Bang Bang Bang." The release of MNDR's critically acclaimed debut album Feed Me Diamonds followed and was crowned one of the year's best albums after release. Her writing and production credits include "Vroom Vroom" (SOPHIE and Charli XCX) and songs with Calvin Harris, AlunaGeorge, Carly Rae Jepsen, Martin Solveig, Kylie Minogue, and more. With a passion for mentoring LGBTQIA, WOMXN, FOLX, and POC producers and writers, MNDR focuses on sharing knowledge and building community and equity for those underrepresented in the music-making process. 

 

Launching today alongside the album, MNDR is releasing new merch and her touted Emotional Strategies, a mix of a tarot-like deck of cards that plays off of Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies app but helps in dealing with anxiety, productivity and mental health. A digital free version is also launching today exclusively at www.mndr.com

 

Hell To Be You Baby, executive produced by MNDR, Peter Wade and Scott Hoffoman (Scissor Sisters), is out everywhere now!
