Im liking it.

I'm totally digging it. No idea what the lovely lass is singing about, but it's got a great hook. The fact that she has an absolutely spectacular midriff has *NOTHING* to do with it, I assure you. Apparently, she's currently touring with Mary J. Blige -- seems like an odd pairing to me, no?

I'm totally digging it.

I'm giving it six months before Alex starts posting to the Gathering about all that Killing Joke pabulum they like, while chanting "HONOUR THE BOOTY!"

Res/Mary J. Blige isn't as odd as one might think. Mary is more obviously hip-hop and Res is more obviously guitar-pop/soul, but there are definitely similarities there. Personally, I'm ecstatic that this song is taking off over here because I lurve it.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't place who Res sounds like? Is it Stevie Nicks? I love the song as well.

― Chris, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She's kinda got that Tasmin Archer "Sleeping Sattelite" vibe....only she's better lookin'....and a good deal funkier.

one month passes...

The song itself has a great flow of melody. Great composition backed by a rockin' singer.

I LOVE THIS SONG! I'm glad to see someone else comparing it to Stevie Nicks, it totally has an early Stevie/Fleetwood Mac vibe---and I mean that in a good way!---which younger listeners might not pick up on. At the same time it is uniquely its own, and is extremely refreshing in the context of what currently passes for pop music.

three years pass...

Whatever happened to Res?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 22 September 2005 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Working on a new album, apparently. I hope it comes out soon.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 22 September 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

id like to say "they say vision" is an incredible song, btw.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 22 September 2005 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

'golden boys' was better

― foxy boxer (stevie), Thursday, 29 September 2005 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

this is a really terrific song, i heard it for the first time in years a couple days ago (hooray shuffle mode).

― jermaine (jnoble), Thursday, 29 September 2005 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

Great great song and the one that samples The Cure's "Other Voices" bassline is pretty amazing too.

― Baaderonixx and the hedonistic gluttons (baaderonixx), Thursday, 29 September 2005 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

its a toss-up. sometimes i really like "golden boys" but most of the time its "they say vision" for me.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

i completely forgot about "golden boys." i played the hell out of that song at the end of 2002.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

"Let Love" (the one that samples "Other Voices") pwns.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

There was a hidden indie rock track at the end of the album that was kinda cool too

― Baaderonixx and the hedonistic gluttons (baaderonixx), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:33 (nineteen years ago)

That first album was so good.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:51 (nineteen years ago)

she still plays out in la alot at the temple bar and the roxy

― huell howser (chaki), Friday, 30 September 2005 08:33 (nineteen years ago)

i love golden boys, they say vision and say what you want (the hidden track). lovedd her voice. she was kinda sexy too.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 23 February 2008 01:52 (seventeen years ago)

maybe I'll have to actually check for her instead of auto-dismissing as lame MIA knockoff

MIA ruining a genuinely good songwriter by 'inspiring' her is tragedy

― deej, Saturday, 23 February 2008 22:54 (seventeen years ago)

yeah you'd think she'd have taken her own song's advice huh

― r|t|c, Saturday, 23 February 2008 23:20 (seventeen years ago)

Getting back into Res. She re-recorded her debut and it’s still great and everything BUT she got rid of the Cure bass line on Let Love!

― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 26 April 2025 16:52 (one week ago)

Ok just saw another thread got revived and the same point was made, so never mind
