Picking up where their 2008 Grammy-nominated Leave It All Behind left off, Authenticity is the group"s most diverse work to date, with a tight, 11-track song cycle spanning the duo"s trademark brand of lush electronic soul, to stripped down acoustic pieces that recall the heyday of 70"s singer/songwriter driven Folk. Lead single "Maybe She"ll Dream Of Me" is a playful, synth-driven hip-hop groove featuring a rapped verse from Phonte that evokes the band"s "Connected" era, while the epic opener "The Last Fall" finds Phonte singing some of his most cynical lyrics to date over a frenzied Nicolay production jammed with layers of strings, guitars, and dense choral harmonies.
