Four years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album “Connected”, Phonte Of Little Brother and Nicolay are back as The Foreign Exchange with the highly anticipated sophomore set!
“Leave It All Behind” finds The Foreign Exchange much closer in geography (Nicolay has since become a resident of Wilmington, NC), but located much further from their hip-hop origins. The album is a dark, multilayered affair that features Phonte showcasing his abilities as an exceptional lead and harmony vocalist, while Nicolay extends his musical palette to include sprinklings of jazz, downtempo, house and more.
In addition to appearances from longtime Foreign Exchange affiliates Darien Brockington and Yahzarah, the album also features guest shots from producer/keyboardist Zo!, the fast rising star that is vocalist Muhsinah and a string arrangement by 4 Hero’s Marc Mac on “If She Breaks Your Heart”, a cover version of a forgotten Stevie Wonder gem.
