About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Joining the genre-bending musical ranks of her Philadelphia brothers and sisters -- Jill Scott, Bilal, and the Roots -- bold and beautiful newcomer Res (pronounced Reese) sounds like a soul sister from another planet. Her sparkling debut, How I Do, showcases the harmonious blend of Res's smoldering, honey-coated vocals with a quirky cross-pollination of hip-hop (the percussive "Sittin' Back"), reggae (the dreamy "700 Mile Situation"), and new wave rock (the whirling synth and piercing guitar-laced "If There Ain't Nothing"). Esthero producer Doc provides the beats and urban grooves burbling through Res's vibrant musical landscape, although on the bass-booming "The Hustler," she declares "my soul's kinda gritty." Indeed, unlike classic soul-influenced songbirds such as Erykah Badu and India Arie, Res sounds more like an acolyte of wild-child female rockers such as Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks -- and her gravelly vocals eerily recall Nicks's on the rocked-out "They-Say Vision." With the musically unconventional and lyrically thought-provoking How I Do, the dynamic trio of Res, Doc, and wordsmith Santi White have introduced a sound that could help curious listeners to free their minds. Hopefully, the rest will follow. Tracy E. Hopkins, Barnes & Noble

December 12, 2003: It is so easy for a critic to sit back and dissect a cd or album. Some people dig the reviews. Some people are dependent on reviews. I saw Res perform live on some channel. My ear was tickled by what it heard. I wrote her name down and bought the cd. I can't say that I can classify her but I respect her. I enjoyed the cd. It reminds me of being free without worries of perception. In all genres of music, is an artist aloud to translate what's going on inside of them. For some of us music is an unction that we gotta get out of us. I truly believe this young lady has an "unction" and I like it and respect it. As my southern grandmother would say about her own prophetic singing, "it ain't up for grading!"

April 29, 2003: Her voice out does her beauty even. She's also crosses between every style from folk, to soul and even into indie rock. The perfit artist for the times now, hopefully she'll come out just as well in her next record.
