Hit-makers unleash a lengthy masterpiece of worldly adventure
Cali, Colombia (Nov 23, 2021) — Burgeoning Colombian superstars Monsieur Job, who regularly chart on the Billboard Latino Top 40 alongside artists like Maluma and Karol G, have released the new album “W.T.F!” boasting hit after hit. The supersized (120 tracks!) release has already spawned 5 hit singles that climbed to #3 on iTunes’ Top 40 US Jazz Songs chart, a historic achievement for a Colombian artist. The group is tied with J Balvin for most hits (12) from a Colombian artist on Billboard’s Latin Digital Song Sales list for this year. Instant hits “Backstabbers” and “Piel Roja,” charged tunes “No More War” and “Another Casualty,” and dance-floor shakers “S.O.S. Siloe (feat. Jhomba c4) (Remix)” and “Chiki Chiki Bau Wau feat. Leu2 (Remix)” alongside 10 (tracks 98-107) psychedelic remixes of 2020 Billboard hits make W.T.F! not just an essential listen, but a masterwork that will elevate Monsieur Job to new heights.

Hip-Hop and Jazz have never had as strong a relationship as they do on “W.T.F!” Monsieur Job’s latest release fuses the two with Latin flair and sensibilities, as well as Contemporary R&B, Trap, Reggaetón, Dancehall, Reggae, Rockaton, Drum & Bass, Dance, House, Funk, Dub, Soul, Jazz, Classical, Global, Ambient, Cinematic, Experimental, Spanish Rock, Gothic Rock, Classic Rock, Pop, Twerk, Pop, and Soul.
W.T.F! is loaded with love and lust. The group serenades a soul-captivating love on “Malevo Maleva,” comparing her beauty to a garden of flowers, then things heat up on “Estoy Ready Pa’ Ti,” a plea for a woman to undress and get busy. Monsieur Job needs less talk and more action, which is most clear on “Entra Pero Come Callao” with the desire to make a meal out of a hotel room lover.
Any great love story involves tragedy, and such is the case here. The thumping remix for “Problemas (feat. Ruzzo)” paints love as a complicated affair, unpacking the woes and circus tricks of a manipulative relationship, while the soulful ballad “There Is Nothing I Can Do to Forget You” longs for love lost. “Quiero Darte la Mano (feat. Tito Murillo) (Remix)” addresses the tragic COVID-19 pandemic, the isolation it inflicted on humanity and our collective longing to touch one another safely again.
With rich and thick production, multiple electronic percussive elements blend masterfully with various vocals on the downtempo ballad “Al Oído,” then Caribbean flavor seeps out of the Reggae knockout “Got to Keep on Movin’,” banging bass and subtle strings lay the bed for the sensual “Like an Animal” and warm tones and stereo panning on instill an irresistible groove on “Perdidos en el mar… Buscándote.”
Without any words, the group invites listeners to a world of their own with unforgettable instrumental adventures like “Backstabbers,” a mid-tempo, cool breeze stroll gives way to dread of what may lurk around the corner, “Varanasi,” a masterclass in strings with electric guitars, sitars, and mandolines playing countermelodies each as beautiful as its predecessors, and “Another Casualty,” where somber keys are forced to soldier on and march to the pounding of the drums.
Wailing horns search for answers and identity on “Piel Roja” amidst tribal percussion and electronic Hip-Hop elements. These answers are perhaps found on “The Guiding Light,” the group’s latest heat-seeking missile on the charts, with horns confidently striding on a path to otherworldly liftoff.
“W.T.F!” is enlightened with all-star performances from Benjamin Mosquera, Ruben Aragon, Miguel Salazar, Laura Viteri, Camilo Mina, David Guerra and Abstain Caviedes (Monsieur Perine) as well as Carlos Zapata and Eduardo Manuel – who tour with Groupo Niche – Abstain Caviedes from Monsieur Perine and Leo Jaramillo and Juan Moreno of Monsieur Job.
W.T.F! is Monsieur Job’s magnum opus, a masterpiece made of bass-banging mountains and heartfelt valleys, where contagious remixes stand proudly alongside instrumentals of beauty all forged by the fires of world class musicians. With several chart-climbing singles, “W.T.F!” is a crowned jewel garnering praise and reverence for its creators.

Straight from Cali, Colombia, a beautiful place high in the mountains above the clouds, Monsieur Job began as a solo project for band founder Toby Holguin, as he released the critically acclaimed album “Bass Pa$$i”. Looking to stimulate collaboration, Toby then decided to form a band with a musician he knew to be top notch, Leo Jaramillo. Both artists create their own style of music, and combined, Toby and Leo are Monsieur Job – a band that will truly rock your soul and make you move your feet.
An eclectic and versatile musician in the Latin genre, Toby had the idea to start doing Urban Music besides the Chill Out and Electronic Music he had been creating, which is the vision that created the album “Bass Pa$$i”. Then he started dropping broken beats with a more festive, shaky, groovy Caribbean Latin flavor, turning the tunes into an international mash up of world talents in a unique blend of genres. There is also an electronic division called “EMEJOTA BEAT BANG” which features Toby on his electronic side with his show in Pure Ibiza Radio, formerly known for his residency at Bora Bora Ibiza where he mixed seven annual summer compilations and participated in the World Tour. With the moniker; Ashbury & Haight and Toby Holguin he released two albums through Universal Mexico and Brazil, “Quantum Leap” and “Electrohousepunk01” in 2004 and 2005. He also remixed Carlinhos Brown, Juanes, and Estefano during his college years where he founded Basswalk Records and later Bad Barbie Records.
On their debut release together, “Chow Chow Eyyy Pow Pow”, the record hit the Euro Indie Music Chart at #1 for 9 consecutive weeks as well as progressive singles; “Kick it” Remix feat. Charly Black, “Pica Pica”, Niña Shake Your Body” feat. No Mercy & Vojke Djans and “Chilliando Hangueando” feat. Cholo, and “La Melancolic Happy” feat. Clindistino reaching the #1 position as well, the Digital Radio Tracker Top 10, and Top 200 for Best Albums, #2 for the Billboard Latin Rhythm Albums Chart, and the Billboard Top 10 Heatseekers Albums Chart for their album “Bass Pa$$i”. This album was recorded in Bogota and Miami at Basswalk Studios, and Barba Studios in Belgrade and mastered at Sterling Studios, New York. Zona de Dropeo, Música para mi Madre, and W.T.F.! were recorded in Basswalk Studios in Cali and Bogotá.
Moreover, the next few Monsieur Job studio albums; “Zona de Dropeo” and “Revisited 2020” were released in late summer 2019 and included 15 consecutive charted singles, 11 in the Billboard Top 10 singles and 4 in the Top 20 such as; “A Escondidas”, “Kick it”, “Boogie..báilalo brincao”, “Pica Pica”, “Bájate las Bragas”, “Busque Mal”, “Muero por ti”, “Vos Sos”, “Me Contagié”, “No Voy A Querer”, “Tanto Tiempo Sin Verte”, “Cucaracha”, Gato por Liebre”, “Gucci Celine”, and “La Clave”. They also peaked on the Top 10 Billboard Annual Artists of 2020 for Digital Latin Sales. As for 2021, they have maintained their efforts with twelve Billboard hits, 6 in the Top 10 of the Latin Digital Sales list so far this year with their fourth studio album W.T.F.! Moreover, Monsieur Job have also experimented with modern beats and Jazz, reaching five Top 10 singles in the ITunes Jazz Singles 2021, with their third studio album; “Música para mi Madre”.
