Authenticity
Released by The Foreign Exchange Music
The new FE album "Authenticity" clocks in at a polished eleven tracks, with the memorable "Everything must go” starting off with a synthesizer melody that hypnotizes from start to finish.

MTV picking up "The Ballad of Purple St. James’” first video for rotation is as just a much a testament to the FE+ label, as is the newest tight knit ZO! full length. Nicolay's solo catalog continues to develop over time, and "Don't Wait" provides the proof Darrien Brockington's eventual solo album is long deserved. I have no doubt we'll see a rise in notoriety of all of the artists in the collective in the not so distant future.
