As a mixed kid with black alternative mom, This was kinda our version of that genre back then. Very cool and criminally underrated album that’s for thinkers and not followers.
Also a mixed kid here and this felt like a fusion of all the things I loved. She also happens to be physically gorgeous as a cherry on top of her beautiful voice and lyrics. She is someone I aspire to be more and more like when it comes to her artistry.
People have let music producers convince them that auto tuned crap is "real" music. Those in the know know artists like Res, India Arie, and Nikka Costa are the real deal.
Artists need a good marketing team...whether they're good or not. Me, my sis n brother listened to her music, yet even then I knew she'd never be as popular as whack pop stars bc she wasn't on the radio. Radio cant make money off of artists that think.
Brittany Rawls it’s one of those albums that’s 20 years old and still on my rotation. I need to listen to every track, in order, from start to finish. No garbage tracks intermixed with one intended pop release.
Beautiful album and Artist who did extremely well when this came out 10 yrs ago. Unfortunately the neo soul era wasn't as popular then as it is today. Res was kind of rock and r&b and the people didn't support her righteously. I did and so did my peers, but not the radio. Support Real artist and Music. Turn off your radio
Amen to that Micah. I remember going to a free show in 2001 in Atlanta and seeing her and being like, "wow"!. Then I found Santigold and was like, "they sound alike" . Well come to find out, she and Santi are good friends and had written on Res' album. Santi is another one that the industry are not sure what to do with. Hence her independence. I have heard Santigold in upscale dept store while shopping.. i.e. Bloomingdale's and Lord and Taylor's and have thought, "...the people don't know what they are being blessed with right now". Because to them it is equivalent to elevator music. Res and Santigold reminded me of Esthero. I loved her old original stuff.. I say remind me, because Esthero came around a little before them. Peace.
+Carley Lester Completely agree. Esthero! Wasn't she awesome?! Goapele came a little later and was good too. Angie Stone, Anthony Hamilton, that whole neo-soul era didn't get a lot of love commercially but it left a mark.
+onegirlrev right on. super late reply but u named SEVERAL of my favorite artists from that time frame... in high school people were asking what I'm listening to while I was asking y aren't u........ good music.
naomioni I first heard Res when I worked at the west philly cable company 17 years ago. We produced a show highlighting local and influential artists-wish I still had access to those tapes.
one of the best written and vocalized songs of all times.. yet so many have never heard of this great performing artist.. Res.. classic supreme and orginal..
MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THIS ALBUM! It comes on so beautifully! I randomly play this all the time on roadtrips. It's so good to drive to. RIIIIIDDDE THIS WAVE OF MINE!
oh.. she got some new ish out there.. i think she is performing more.. she did an awesome Fleetwood Mac cover... i'm sure its floating around on youtube somewhere..
I know dis comment hecka old, but I did some research. Santigold did indeed produce AND co-compose Res's debut album. Here's a link to the article if anyone's interested: www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/kot/ct-ott-0415-santigold-20160411-column.html
I feel so nice just when you're here The reason why is not so clear I knew the first time when you told me I'd fall in love just as you'd hold me And now I want to stay at your side tonight I want to watch you as the sun lights up your eyes I want to know when you wake first thing you see is me You're all the things I prayed that I'd meet Ride, ride this wave of mine There're brighter things out on the other side Ride, ride this wave of mine I know that things are going to be alright Moments they come and then they go You'll feel so high and then before you know I could of sworn our future was set in stone But I guess some things it's just as well for God to know So now I concentrate on turning wrong to right I'm going to let go things I held inside so tight I'm going to live and let forgive things said in spite Clear out the smoke and usher in the light Ride, ride this wave of mine There're brighter things out on the other side Ride, ride this wave of mine I know that things are going to be alright
She faced being undercut by a music producer when she didn't return interest toward his sexual attraction to her. I think we should continue to support her!
I had the wonderful opportunity to see Res perform in concert... An amazing performance! I don't think technology has advanced enough to properly record her offering. If you ever have the opportunity please see her perform live! Golden!
This WHOLE Album is Perfection. It never ages. Perhaps I can talk to her about a spot in the" Great Awakening tour "... because her lyrics and timeless message.

What a love song.....It was amazing and sweet before but now it's such a breath of fresh air. We had no idea how watered down and clueless music would become, making artist and her sound timeless. It's just what we need. Goes to say do what ever you're suppose to do when the time comes because the future may need your gift.
In 2021, this album is still so amazing, her voice, the arrangements. Classic!
Facts
Yo, this girl...THIS GIRL...*This song is like a breath of fresh air!*
I saw her last night in Chicago, her voice sounds just as good live, as the recording!
As a mixed kid with black alternative mom, This was kinda our version of that genre back then. Very cool and criminally underrated album that’s for thinkers and not followers.

yasss such a good summary!
I bought this album when it came out and loved it. My mixed ex hated it and mocked her but he was a pretty awful guy to everyone, lol.
i hope im that mom 🥹
Super underrated
This album was my life 😢
This is my JAM!!
Wow, this song is easy enough to relax to.
this is one of the smoothest funky jazzy beat. the band is on point all through the entire song.she has been unerated so talented.
😍2020
🎤🎤💣🔥🔥🔥🔥
2021
I love this song so much
This song needs to be in Forza
& I love you so much Res
This is love
Anyone remember this sound on the Sonic for dreamcast soundtrack. The whole album was amazing!
true beauty in music
Very poetic song. I like the lyrics a lot!
2021 and Still here
I get lost in the groove of her voice in this groobe. And the rhythm and percussion way too smooth with groovy bass.
Ride this wave of mine....I know that things are gonna be alright. :)
❤️
💗
Where is her Grammy
Music for eclectic folk.😏
This album was the shit. Res. So unique, so creative and talented. Why artists like this don't blow up?? Sumthin ain't right.

@@DevilOnlyKnitsLace Agreed!
This music has an impact larger than the consequence of commercial success
Artists need a good marketing team...whether they're good or not. Me, my sis n brother listened to her music, yet even then I knew she'd never be as popular as whack pop stars bc she wasn't on the radio. Radio cant make money off of artists that think.

I love this song. It played such a big part of my healing after being shattered to so many small pieces.
Just came from her concert. She did this song acapella. FABULOUS voice!!!!!! Just love her. Philly in the house!

What a classic album!
Legit the most underrated artist. Maybe ever. I wore this CD outttttt. Still keep in rotation.
"...I could've SWORN our future was set in stone.... but i guess some things are just as well forgotten though....."
+Eric Carrington Not to be all Ms. Correction or anything but she said but I guess some things are just for God to know.
one of the best written and vocalized songs of all times.. yet so many have never heard of this great performing artist.. Res.. classic supreme and orginal..
i miss this album i use to rock this and Nelly Furtado's Whoa Nelly everyday lol
I hope Res makes more new songs ASAP
Both albums are so good
One of my favourite albums of all time
I used to listen to this album almost everyday when I was kid. criminally underrated. one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to
Wonderfully written and sung song. This album was extremely underrated like so many others.but I appreciate it alot.😊
MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THIS ALBUM! It comes on so beautifully! I randomly play this all the time on roadtrips. It's so good to drive to. RIIIIIDDDE THIS WAVE OF MINE!
I love this song too. Pure and simple, like Sade :)
Whole cd bangin' from day one to now

This is a great album. It’s one of my all time favorites from my album collection.
Damnnn memories💜 My mom used to play this whole album every trip to philly. 💔
I miss her....
Divine. Still and always. Love this woman.
Beautiful! What the hell are the instruments used in this, though! Produced by Santigold? I can see it, if true

@@tajmahal8472 really? Wow. 🤯
@@thesorzboyz My exact same reaction when I found out.
I been zoning out to this album since it dropped until Forever.
Keep on RES !!!!!!
Still one of me favorites... always in love with...
Love this song
i love that damn song!!!!
I feel so nice just when you're here
The reason why is not so clear
I knew the first time when you told me
I'd fall in love just as you'd hold me
And now I want to stay at your side tonight
I want to watch you as the sun lights up your eyes
I want to know when you wake first thing you see is me
You're all the things I prayed that I'd meet
Ride, ride this wave of mine
There're brighter things out on the other side
Ride, ride this wave of mine
I know that things are going to be alright
Moments they come and then they go
You'll feel so high and then before you know
I could of sworn our future was set in stone
But I guess some things it's just as well for God to know
So now I concentrate on turning wrong to right
I'm going to let go things I held inside so tight
I'm going to live and let forgive things said in spite
Clear out the smoke and usher in the light
Ride, ride this wave of mine
There're brighter things out on the other side
Ride, ride this wave of mine
I know that things are going to be alright

I'm just on this Beautiful Queen's Music and yes she is Dope Cool
makes the heart pace a little faster.
Cool pic, and cool name Khemet. you just *ooze cool* :)
lorettalynn Davis Much appreciation for the kind words
I’m 23, discovered her music when I was 21 late 2019 and I’m so grateful 💓
I had the wonderful opportunity to see Res perform in concert... An amazing performance! I don't think technology has advanced enough to properly record her offering. If you ever have the opportunity please see her perform live! Golden!
Criminally underrated artist
Yeah, Res is dope! A real artist.
THANK YOU TO THE PERSON WHO UPLOADED THIS!
still love this album 🥹❤️🫶🏾
My favorite song on this album
Santi Gold worked on this album
This is a perfect song!
This remains one of the best things I've ever experienced
Memories!!!!!!
lOVE THIS SONG
My favorite song ever
I love you! Why don’t you make music anymore?
This WHOLE Album is Perfection. It never ages. Perhaps I can talk to her about a spot in the" Great Awakening tour "... because her lyrics and timeless message.
She's so talented, I'm shocked that she never really made it into more mainstream platforms and venues and awards. She's definitely a hidden gem.
