Video: The Foreign Exchange "Daykeeper" feat. Muhsinah
Posted by Shamz on Oct 23, 2008
The Foreign Exchange 's sophmore LP, Leave It All Behind, is out now. This album is on constant repeat over here at the OKP office. Today we're premiering the video for the first single "Daykeeper" featuring Muhsinah. The video is high on the dramatics, but fits the song well. Directed by Salih Abdul-Karim and Dana Kinlaw. Edited by Salih Abdul-Karim.

Love the song, but not really feeling the video. As the blurb indicated, it was too heavy on the dramatics. The video never "went" anywhere...too dark, too many transitions, pointless coffee cup.

I agree to most if not all posts above. LIAB is the truth out there in this "...cold, cold world."

The collaborative prowess of The Foreign Exchange rivals that of Gnarls Barkley. Amazing.

This is got to be the one of the saddest, most lovingly-beautiful music videos I’ve ever seen. Sad because i can't imagin (after watching it) feeling any lonelier about not having my own "Daykeeper" who's watchin over me. But on the flip side beautiful, in its translation of a song that speaks volumes on the greatest of human conditions, ya know...."that feelin" and everything that goes with it. peace.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO. It conveys the passion of the song and feels genuine, and I think it tells a way more powerful story without showing the artists. Gorgeous!

idk if your tryna get his video on MTV, VH1 Soul, or BET or anything, but if so... i really think it woulda been a better move for yall to have been in the video, or atleast one of you.
Cuz if this video does hit TV... they gonna be thinking that dude is Phonte, and the girl is Musinah... i dont think you all are big enough yet that people recognize you where you shouldnt be in the videos. but thats just me.
the video is GREAT!!! i just think you all shoulda been in it.
