Nicolas Godin – “The Foundation” (Feat. Cola Boyy) Video
Last month, Nicolas Godin — one-half of the French duo Air — released a new song “The Border” as a precursor to a new solo album, the follow-up to 2015’s Contrepoint. Today, that album is being announced: It’s called Concrete And Glass, and it features guest spots from Alexis Taylor, Kirin J Callinan, Kate NV, and Kadjha Bonet.
Today, Godin is sharing a new track, “The Foundation,” which features guest vocals from the California singer Cola Boyy. Godin had this to say about the track in a statement:
Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House #21 was the starting point for this song. Well, at least that’s how I presented the music to its future singer, Cola Boyy. I told him about the project’s architectural origins, explaining that he must let his own personal inspiration run free for the lyrics. I always thought that a concept was always the perfect way to start a record, but then you should soon let the music take over. A good record is one in which the music seizes control pretty fast. I’ve applied this rule to each album I’ve been lucky enough to record, with only one mantra: ‘It’s the music that decides’. This song is the perfect example of this.
The song comes with a video directed by Greg Barnes. Watch and listen below.
