The Foreign Exchange - The Last Fall

Speaking of Phonte...here's the latest from his singing side's most recent album, Authenticity.
Easily the most romantic video of 2011, right?
Makes you think twice about the lyrics to all those goofy love jams you like.

The Foreign Exchange - Maybe She'll Dream of Me

Phonte & Nicolay are back with the lead single for thier 3rd album, Authenticity, set for Oct. 12 release.

Happy for these dudes.
Can't even do the usual "ahhh, the Grammy's don't mean shit" routine.

Also...salute to Rahway, NJ's own, Eric Roberson, for a nomination!!!

Nicolay ft. Carlitta Durand - Saturday Night

This sounds like liquor.  I like it.

Buy this.

Nicolay: City Lights vol. 2

Nicolay, the production half of The Foreign Exchange, has released the second edition of his City Lights series today. This time around the Shibuya district of Tokyo serves as his inspiration.

Its a must-have for your collection, trust me.
Perfect music as summer fades into fall.

Check out the first single, "Lose Your Way".

I'm not so obtuse that I don't know a sign when I see one...think I'm gonna begin and end my day right here.

In an effort to restore balance to my romantic karma after that last post...
Behold, the latest video from The Foreign Exchange.

Extra smooth.
That's the jam, right there, bwah!

Great exposure for TFE and D-Brock. This is this week's free single on iTunes.
Go get it!

The Foreign Exchange: Leave It All Behind

"Blazer & Cognac" music of the highest order.
Leave It All Behind is the second album from The Foreign Exchange, a collaboration between Phonte of Little Brother (more of a singer in this incarnation) and Dutch producer, Nicolay.

Highest stamp of approval on this one. This is good, chilled out music. Good job by them for picking a fall release date. The sounds go with the season. It's a nice R&B/down tempo electronic vibe. Think 2AM in a blue-lit lounge.

While you're banging around, be sure to check out their first album, Connected.

[Ah...that reminds me of another hidden gem (I originally had a massive brain fart and spelled "gem" with a "J", and then proceeded to laugh about it for 5min...I must have been thinking about her. HA!) that I need to hip you to: Owusu & Hannibal, a Danish R&B/electro duo. Their album, Living With Owusu & Hannibal came out in 2006, but it's incredible. Actually, now that I think about it, it was Phonte that told me about O&H in response to something I asked him on Myspace. That's why I love Myspace, it's like heaven for fans of lesser-known artists, because if you're clever enough, you can actually correspond with the people jamming in your iPod.]
