REPOST: Shibuya is the new project from the creative minds of Nicolay and Phonte Coleman, better known as THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE, whose sophomore album, the independent R&B/Soul smash Leave It All Behind (TFE/Hard Boiled; Oct. 2008), continues to gain momentum as the duo and their extended family of singers and musicians currently tour the United States and Canada with their critically acclaimed live show. The countless performances together have added a new level of sophistication to the musical output of Nicolay and Phonte, resulting in what they themselves consider to be one of their most ambitious projects yet.
The idea for Shibuya, which is the second installment in Nicolay’s City Lights series of albums, was first conceived after his first visit to Tokyo, Japan. Once back home, he wrote and recorded with a new-found sense of freedom, laying the groundwork for the albums Time:Line and Leave It All Behind as well a third album, a deeply personal homage to the Tokyo district of Shibuya that illustrates both the grandeur of Japan’s age-old heritage (”Meiji Shrine, “Rain In Ueno Park”, “The Inner Garden”) as well as the hectic city life of one of the world’s busiest metropolitan areas (”Crossing”, “Satellite”, “Bullet Train”) through two suites of richly multi-layered instrumental pieces.
Where City Lights Volume 1 was primarily instrumental, on Shibuya, the instrumental pieces are book-ended by several vocal songs written by Phonte, who keeps showing remarkable growth as a songwriter and vocal arranger, for up and coming fellow North Carolina vocalist Carlitta Durand, who previously collaborated with Phonte on Little Brother’s Getback album (ABB 2007) and many other projects. Also appearing is “FE” liveband-mate ZO!, who adds his virtuoso keyboard solos to two songs. From UGHH.com.

Happy B-day to Nicolay and how nice he blessed us with another ‘Off The Shelf‘ download aimed for the dancefloors!
Dutch singer and keyboardist Ugene has been making quite some noise over here in the Netherlands. Nic and Ugene recorded this cover version of the Quincy Jones produced Donna Summer track “Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)” in April of 2005. It was originally intended for a compilation album on an indie label, but they didn’t use it and so the track ended up on the shelf.
Ugene is another artist that deserves any and all attention. He’s currently working on a new project with a formation that actually includes two other friends of mine from Europe, Krewcial (the live guy with glasses) and Gus. Click here for one of their recent videos.

There is nothing better than gettin a goodie from one of your favorite artists in your mailbox..For all the people who didnt subscribe to the Foreign Exchange mailinglist, here is what they had to say..
This is the first in a series of random goodies that we will be periodically dropping off in your mailboxes. (Who loves ya, baby?)
We recorded this over a month ago specifically for a ?uestlove tribute party dedicated to The Purple One himself. Other than passing it off to a few DJ friends who vowed to keep it on some secret squirrel, “bet you aint up on THIS!” status, no one has ever heard it. In the wake of the incredible loss we suffered on June 25 however, this joint took on somewhat of a deeper meaning.
We decided to share it with our fans not only as a token of appreciation, but also as a way of paying respect to one of our last living musical geniuses.
Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes before we show love and gratitude to our heroes, people. Give them their flowers while they live.
This one’s for you, Mr. Nelson. You are loved and appreciated.

This new video by TFE just got released a few seconds ago on Twitter. Phontigallo & Nicolay asked all their followers to ask their followers to ask their followers to follow the TFE twitter, and the new video would be released as soon as they hit 2000 followers. Click to go check it out at Vimeo.
Finally, the first tracks of Muhsinah‘s The oscillations: Triangle. It’s been a minute since we saw something new from Muhsinah..and Triangle is shaping up to be one of our ’09 favorites.
The oscillations is actually a 2 disc LP; disc one being Sine, which actually was Daybreak 2.0, and that wasn’t new to us. So we’re glad to share these two tracks with you…enjoy..
