We Got the Beat: Res
When I first heard Santogold aka Santi White last year, her voice was definitely one I wanted to hear more of but her production was just as impressive. When I discovered that she had produced one of my favorite albums How I Do by Res, my respect for her sky-rocketed!
The pairing of these two ladies created one of the most amazing albums I’ve heard to date. How I Do is one of those albums that I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track.
Rather than delve into the similarities of the two and the why-is-Res-so-slept-on cry, I’m reintroducing you to the amazing Res by sharing the video to Golden Boys.
Besides being a strong track, the colors and cinematography in this video are candy! Res is fierce in looks, vocals, and swagger! Check it:
What? You want more Res?
Download They Say Vision, another amazing track off How I Do, HERE…yup, free!
Visit The Official Res MySpace page and show this lady some much deserved respect.

I didn’t know that there was a connection. I have long loved Res, and turned many of my friends onto her album. They Say Vision always picks me up from a bad mood, but Tsunami is by far the best song on the album.

Thanks for the comments ladies!
Tupac’s Wifey: I totally forgot to add that in—it was indeed before its time!
Sarah: I love Tsunami. It is such a well-written track (…but again, I love the whole album)!
