New one from Miguel’s debut album, All I Want Is You. Was really looking forward to this, but there are far too many skippable tracks in my opinion. The lead single/title track, along with this & Vixen are my personal favourites. His voice is still one of the best out there though.

For those of you who don’t know who Liam Bailey is; he is the guy that is featured on the new Chase & Status track, Blind Faith. The other day he did an acoustic session for Soul Culture in Camden Town, which simply blew me away. First he performed his own track, I Belong, which is produced by the brilliant Salaam Remi and will feature on his forthcoming LP. He then did a cover of version of one of my favourite Etta James songs; I’d Rather Go Blind. This guy has incredibly amounts of talent, and then some.

Here is a new one from Marsha Ambrosius’ upcoming album, Late Nights & Early Mornings, which is set to drop in early 2011. Just Blaze’s production is incredible and I much prefer it to the lead single, I Hope She Cheats On You. So much love for this woman’s music, and her new look.

Jazmine Sullivan hit us with this 80s influenced track this morning from her forthcoming album Love Me Back, which will be released on November 30th. Love the track and how hot does she look on the cover?!

Now it’s been a while since I’ve done a review like this; however that was always going to change when my favourite group/duo in the world released a new album. Since forming in 2004, Phonte & Nicolay have taken the Hip-Hop/R&B world by storm and released (what I believe to be) 3 of the greatest albums of the 21st Century. I wanted to do a review as soon as I had heard the album, but there is so much to take in when listening to a Foreign Exchange album that I decided to listen to it for week or so and let it digest properly.
The Last Fall starts off in the same key as their two previous intro tracks and automatically gives you that special feeling which only a Foreign Exchange project can. Nicolay’s unique production style once again outshines that of any other producer in the world, creating the most beautiful and thoughtful sounding music I’ve heard since Leave It All Behind in 2008. Although that was released during October, it had a Winter feel to it - Connected was the perfect Summer album and Authenticity epitomises everything that Autumn is about. I’m intrigued to see if their next effort is going to be the Spring edition, which will complete the most perfect series of music ever made. I hope this will be the case anyway.
Although I couldn’t personally rank their 3 albums in order; I feel as though Phonte’s writing and vocals are better than ever on Authenticity. Since hearing The Listening back in 2003 it’s been simply amazing to see him grow as an artist and the transition of him going from a rapper that sings to a singer that raps. He is the only artist in the world that would make it into my top 10 rappers of all time and my top 10 singers of all time, which says a lot about how important his music is to me and the amount of natural talent he possesses. For example; All Roads and Laughing At Your Plans are lyrically two of the best tracks I’ve heard for years. Music from the soul is hard to find these days; yet ‘Te and Nic seem to find it an effortless task to make every track a heartfelt masterpiece.
I know some people miss him rapping, but Phonte has found his musical soul mate in Nicolay and together they have a chemistry that allows them to make music which is years ahead of it’s time. I know not many people buy albums these days; however independent music like this should be supported and with a price tag of £5.99, there is no reason to illegally download the best album of 2010. Below are all the necessary links you need. If you need any more convincing then you can download The Very Best of The Foreign Exchange that I put together for FREE.

After the first listen, here is one of my favourite tracks from The Foreign Exchange’s new album, Authenticity. Make Me A Fool features FE family member Median and the incredibly talented Jesse Boykins III. The album is spectacular, but I won’t go into any detail, because there will be a review coming very soon.
