Nicolas Godin announces new album with Cola Boyy collaboration "The Foundation"

"The Foundation" is the second single to be lifted from Godin's new album, after last month's "The Border".

Speaking about the new single, Godin says, "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."

Concrete and Glass will follow on from Godin's 2015 debut solo LP Contrepoint. Last year he released the Au Service De La France soundtrack.

The album will also feature collaborations with Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor, Kadjha Bonet, Kate NV, and more.
