Maybe She'll Dream Of Me

Ever since I was introduced to this group by my friend Art I have been a huge fan. Their sound is very easy on the ears and their songs while not always musically catchy are always lyrically enticing. Usually though the music and the lyrics are perfectly matched like they are on this tune "Maybe She'll Dream Of Me" to the point where as a fan you begin to wonder why The Foreign Exchange isn't far more popular than they are. If you aren't a fan or if you don't know someone who isn't a fan already or a fan of the now defunct rap group Little Brother then the Exchange will continue to sadly fly under your radar.

The group is made up of singer/rapper Phonte Coleman and Dutch music producer Nicolay who was a huge fan of Little Brother himself back in the day. They released their first collection of songs on their 2004 release Connected and they have always and consistently have gotten better both musically and of course lyrically. This track off of their 2010 release Authenticity showcases that perfectly. Phonte's crooning is splayed easily over the relaxed groove and his rap keeps the song from getting boring. It's witty wordplay about a guy hoping a girl he feels is out of his league will give him the chance to show her what real love is all about.

It's starts off easy and smooth and stays that way throughout much like this duo has been since first getting together. When you listen to them hopefully you'll react like I did when I was first introduced to them ("Where the fuck was I and how come I've never heard of them until NOW?"). This is the remedy to that, an introduction from me to you since you don't know Art lol. Enjoy!
