If you like hip-hop, rhythm and blues, a touch of jazz and folk, all wrapped up with adult themes and lyrics and music that’s as modern as it is a throwback to better times; Foreign Exchange comprised of Little Brother’s Phonte Coleman and Dutch producer Nicolay are coming out with their third album “Authenticity”.
Picking up where their 2008 Grammy-nominated “Leave It All Behind” set left off, “Authenticity” is the group’s most diverse work to date, with a tight, 11-track song cycle spanning the duo’s trademark brand of lush electronic soul, to stripped down acoustic pieces that recall the heyday of 70’s singer-songwriter driven folk.
Tracklisting:
- 01. The Last Fall
- 02. Authenticity
- 03. Eyes To The Sky
- 04. All Roads
- 05. Fight For Love
- 06. Maybe She’ll Dream Of Me
- 07. Don’t Wait
- 08. Make Me A Fool
- 09. Everything Must Go
- 10. Laughing At Your Plans
- 11. This City Ain’t The Same Without You
I don’t mind admitting that I’m a fan. I don’t need to listen to a whole bunch of “yeah’s” screamed at me nor way too explicit lyrics being in music that I’d rather relax with my friends and/or lady with. And from what I’ve heard thus far, Foreign Exchange will be Grammy nominated, if not Grammy winners this next time.
