CD Reviews

Nicolay's soul symphony...

Terrence D. Hillman | Colorado, USA | 02/28/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange is one of my favorite producers of today. He has the blend of the old school flavor with the new soul (not neo-soul because I hate that label,) and it still comes off hard with a true hip hop lyricist. This guy is a genius on the boards and has laced up some of the best underground artists around with this mixtape. Down with the JL, Nicolay will always have a home here in the states. Waiting on volume 2, and I look forward to seeing what this cat will do next (maybe a full album project with Supastition? Who knows... let's wait and see)

Update - July 25, 2009:

Volume 2, still waiting. May be on the way for volume 2 of City Lights is slated for release in August. I'm staying on the lookout and will be back with another update. Until then..."

Good chilled interesting beats

"I've just discovered Nicolay after looking for a Jill Scott tune and finding the golden remix he did (not on this album). You know how sometimes you start listening to a tune, think its good but then realise the sampling is repeated with no change and it gets boring. Well, Nicolay changes the melodies very slightly and gradually in a smooth chilled way which keeps the tune interesting and stimulating. Undergound smooth beats from superb artists like Big brother and a magical slowed down version of "come close" at the end. Its superb. Wasn't a big fan of remixes till I discovered this guy. Its good stuff."
