The pure genius that is Phonte and Nicolay have released a new video for their single "Take Off The Blues". Check check it out!
The Foreign Exchange feat. Darien Brockington - "Take Off The Blues" from The Foreign Exchange on Vimeo.
Video directed by Matt Koza. How'd you like it? I love Phonte's little bow tie, and the way he looks at homegirl when he notices her at the lounge. But how intense was the 1 year later scene??? Wow. Leave It All Behind indeed!
The Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind album is one of my favorites of the last year. If you've been sleeping on it, be sure to check it out.
In related news, if you're up on Phonte's other non-Little Brother project Zo! and Tigallo (check the EP Zo! and Tigallo Love The 80's) you should check out this recent feature on producer Lorenzo "Zo!" Ferguson, who contributed to Leave it All Behind.
Since the release of Leave It All Behind, Phonte has included Zo! and his band as part of The Foreign Exchange tour.
"Phonte, from day one, was always saying, 'When we take this show on the road, when we do this show live, I wanna be able to involve you in the live show,'" Ferguson, 30, says by phone. "And sure enough, when it was time to start doing some dates, he and Nicolay reached out to me once again and hit me up. And then, I pulled my cats on board, and it's been a wrap ever since."
You can read the full story on Zo! and his band the EL's HERE.
Here's a lil bonus treat as well. Surprisingly pleasant to the ears.
How do you feel about Phonte Coleman's R&B/Soul projects? Talk to me y'all!

Phonte and Nicolay having been doing it like this since 2004, peep out Foreign Exchange's Connected that came out 2004 and definitely Leave it All Behind. Daykeeper was the first single of this current project and it's a track that is timeless....Phonte has to be one of the most slept on
