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. The album, Connected, was released in 2004 to positive reviews, and was praised by legendary DJ's such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, King Britt, and DJ Spinna for its inventive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica.
Their sophomore album, Leave It All Behind (2008) found The Foreign Exchange much closer in geography (Nicolay becoming a resident of Wilmington, NC), but located much further from their hip-hop origins. On the strength of their exhilarating live show and several nationally programmed music videos, Leave It All Behind became the group's most successful album to date, culminating in a Grammy-nomination for the album's first single, Daykeeper.
Authenticity, released on October 12, 2010 on +FE Music, is The Foreign Exchange’s third album.

The Foreign Exchange Lyrics
Okay
You can blame it all on me tonight
Don't wanna walk away
Tonight I'll be the bigger man
You just keep on trying
To push me away
But I'm not leaving
We got so far to go
(I wanna know)
You'll believe and me and keep away your pride
(I wanna know)
Cause I can't imagine you not by my side
(I wanna know)
That you'll share with me your hopes and all your dreams
Cause baby I love you for loving me
So glad I found you babe
So thankful for your ways
It's such a blessing
To love and be loved in return
I tried to keep myself from you
But now I finally see the truth
Can't nobody love me like you do
Everytime that I think about
Our love and everything we shared
I'll never leave never let you down
Cause I know that you'll always be there
Everybody's talking
About us and what they saying
They don't believe that we're gonna make it
But I still believe in you
You'll believe and me and keep away your pride
(I wanna know)
Cause I can't imagine you not by my side
(I wanna know)
That you'll share with me your hopes and all your dreams
(I wanna know)
Cause baby I love you for loving me
Wanna thank you babe
For always loving me
Loving me
Said thank you babe
Always loving me
Don't know what I'd do
(I wanna know)
You'll believe and me and keep away your pride
(I wanna know)
Cause I can't imagine you not by my side
(I wanna know)
That you'll share with me your hopes and all your dreams
Cause baby I love you for loving me
Okay
You can blame it all on me tonight
