Editorial Reviews
Picking up where their 2008 Grammy-nominated Leave It All Behind left off, Authenticity is the group's most diverse work to date, with a tight, 11-track song cycle spanning the duo's trademark brand of lush electronic soul, to stripped down acoustic pieces that recall the heyday of 70's singer/songwriter driven Folk. Lead single "Maybe She'll Dream Of Me" is a playful, synth-driven hip-hop groove featuring a rapped verse from Phonte that evokes the band's "Connected" era, while the epic opener "The Last Fall" finds Phonte singing some of his most cynical lyrics to date over a frenzied Nicolay production jammed with layers of strings, guitars, and dense choral harmonies.

The album is good, it has great beats and melodies. However, the only thing that is driving me crazy is the loss of the strong hip-hop element they had with Connected, even in Leave it All Behind. This reads as an R&B album to me. I like it but as im listening I just want Phonte to spit a verse, or give me spoken lyrics. I fell in love with them because they werent just rap and not just r&b, they had the perfect combination over some really great beats.

I saw Foreign Exchange in concert in Houston, Tx. They were great!!!!! Easy listening music, great beats, great vocal. I listen to sample of their new album (Authenticity) and I love every song. This is more than just music it's life.
Thanks FOREIGN EXCHANGE ;)

This is a great album to lay back and chill to. Phonte is not the worlds greatest singer but it works for FE. Wonderful album.

What happened
I gave this CD 2 stars because there was maybe only 2 songs I liked and that is pushing it. I am a fan of the first 2 cd's and just assumed the 3rd would be just as great... Read more
