Nicolay "The Brightest Star" f/ Phonte + "Afterglow"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

1/2 of Foreign Exchange, Nicolay, is prepping the release of his latest album, City Lights Vol. 3: Soweto. To get a sample of what’s to come, we have the first single, “The Brightest Star” which features vocals from the other half of FE, Phonte. Definitely the jam right there, and the non-album b-side, “Afterglow,” surely isn’t to be slept on either. City Lights Vol. 3: Soweto is an ode to the South African township and its’ neighboring city of Johannesburg, the site of FE’s South African debut performance in 2014. The 10-song LP features contributions from Phonte, Carmen Rodgers and Tamisha Waden. Look for the album to drop on June 9th via FE Music.
