The Foreign Exchange

After a recommendation from a friend a while back, I finally picked up a copy of The Foreign Exchanges' recent album, Leave It All Behind. 

It's unique blend of R&B, Soul, and Electronica is quite a breath of fresh air.

The album's seducing lyrics,

smooth vocals hooks, and intricate pads are overwhelming enough to make any listener want to get down and make some love.

As their website states, The Foreign Exchange "Consists of singer/songwriter Phonte and producer Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through Instant Messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) 

completed their debut album before they ever met each other in person."
