The Foreign Exchange
外文名:The Foreign Exchange 国籍:美国 创立时间:2008年 简介:Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating music, the Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a beat on Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared shortly after as the B-side to "Whatever You Say" off Little Brother's 2003 album, The Listening. Relying mainly on Instant Messenger and email, the duo continued to work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in 2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in person. 从艺历程:两人最初通过Okayplayer.com上的留言板联系,并很快开始录制和交换音乐。不久之后,他们组建了 The Foreign Exchange,尽管他们从未见过面,但乐队因此得名。他们的专辑《Connected》于 2004 年发行,不仅展示了 Nicolay 的音乐才华,还向志同道合的Little Brother成员介绍了他们为专辑做出的贡献。这张专辑获得了好评,由YahZarah演唱的单曲《Sincere》发行,并配有由 Joey Boukadakis 执导的音乐视频。
2008年10月,两人发行了第二张专辑《Leave It All Behind 》 。

2009 年 12 月,该乐队凭借专辑《 Leave It All Behind》中的曲目“Daykeeper”(feat. Muhsinah)获得格莱美奖最佳都市/另类表演奖提名。
乐队的第三张专辑《Authenticity》于 2010 年 10 月 12 日发行。2011 年 1 月,两人与Sy Smith和 Darien Brockington 一起巡回演出。2011 年 6 月,乐队宣布发行他们的第一张现场专辑《Dear Friends: An Evening with the Foreign Exchange》 ,其中包括Sy Smith和Jeanne Jolly的表演。2017 年 9 月,乐队发行了他们的第一张合辑专辑《Hide&Seek》。
