Foreign Girls is an EP from singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, released July 8, 2008, and is the last of a series of EPs released in anticipation for Arthur's seventh studio album, Temporary People.
Arthur referred to the EP in an Orlando Weekly interview:
| “ | "I feel like I've been trying to get to this point for years now. It just makes sense to get things out closer to the impulse. Up until the EP goes to mastering, I'm still working on them. can be a week old by the time they go to mastering, but some of them are a year old. I haven't made the fourth yet, I made a lot of spoken-word tracks with Dave Rosser that I'd like to do something with." | ” |
The song "Foreign Girls" first appeared as a poem and a recording on Joseph's MySpace page on April 13, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or girls:
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“An eminent teacher of girls said, “the idea of a girl’s education, is, whatever qualifies them for going to Europe.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
