More information About Foreign exchange
Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating
music, The Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a
beat on Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some
vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared
shortly after as the B-side to Little Brother's 2002 single "Whatever You
Say." Relying mainly on instant messaging and email, the duo continued to
work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and
send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once
during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in
2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in
person. Due in part to an increasing production load, Nicolay moved to the
States, and Leave It All Behind, the second FE album -- more R&B-oriented
than the debut -- was recorded. Released in 2008 and featuring a handful of
stunning videos, its lead single, "Daykeeper," was nominated for a 2010
Grammy in the category of Best Urban/Alternative Performance (and lost to
India.Arie's "Pearls").
