ПОДРОБНЕЕ:
Shareese Renée Ballard, better known as Res (pronounced /ˈriːs/ reese) is a female alternative singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her music is an alternative mixture of soul, rock, and indie pop. She released her debut album, How I Do, in 2001 featuring the first single "Golden Boys." In spite of the video's heavy rotation on VH1, the song was not a hit on radio. Later the same year, the second single from the album, "Ice King," was released. Like "Golden Boys," the song did not appeal to a mainstream audience and a video was never released for the single. In 2002 she released her third (and first hit) single "They Say Vision," which hit number one on the Billboard Dance chart and number 37 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. With the success of the single, the album entered the Billboard 200 for the first time. A fourth single, "Sittin' Back," was also released. Res did a remake of a Jefferson Starship song titled "Miracles" for the movie Maid in Manhattan (Starring Jennifer Lopez). Shortly after, she also became a poster child for Marc Ecko's "Ecko Red" clothing line and appeared in print advertising. After a near four years' hiatus she was called on to sing tour supporting vocals with Gnarls Barkley and is in the process of releasing her second album. She released a song on the Akeelah and the Bee (starring Keke Palmer, Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett) movie soundtrack called "To Empower."

As of July 2006, Res' album How I Do has sold 244,000 copies in the U.S. The album suffered from a combination of poor promotion and radio format identity crisis—it could not fit into either the Urban or Rock/Pop markets.[citation needed]

In 2009 Res planned to release Black.Girls.Rock!, which should be a highly anticipated sophomore album. The album is described by Res as "more of a singer/songwriters album than my debut. Great, classic songs!" Res is currently seeking to distribute it globally. Res is currently working with Nicole, 1/2 of NinaSky on a mixtape called "A Box of Chocolates".

Res also had plans of releasing a collaborative album in 2009 with emcee Talib Kweli and Graph Nobel as Idle Warship. The album is titled Party Robot. In June 2009, Idle Warship completed their first headlining tour throughout Europe. They performed to sold-out audience in Switzerland, Oslo, France and Germany. They plan to release a mixtape prior to the release of their debut album Party Robots!

Res - Golden Boys (incl. Modjo) (UK + Europe Maxi-Singles) [2002]

Вот только сегодня приехал! Чесслово)) И уже в айподе! С такой скоростью в мой айпод поподают только самые сильные и стильные творения как ЭТО! По MTV в свое время крутили сразу 2 варианта с клипом - оригинал и микс от Моджо! Вот я кайфовал) Но самое странное что потом нигде не мог найти даже сам ее альбом.. На данный момент этот сингл не купить не в eBay, не на Discogs! Enjoy!!!

СЛОВА!!!

Res - Golden Boys LYRICS

Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be
A prince in all of the magazines
They'd have no words for the man I've seen
Talk real fast 'fore they see your face

And would they love you if they knew all the things we know
We've got these images
We need them to be true
Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you

[Chorus:]
But then there're girls like me who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing

But would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Those Golden Boys
All a fraud don't believe their show
Would they love you if they knew all the things that we know

Golden Boy life ain't a video

Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man
And you believe and play your cards
Got dealt a winning hand
Don't you get tired of the show
The kissin' ass of all the people that you wanna know

When I was young I thought you had it won
I saw you on T.V. you made life look fun
But then years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak show

[Chorus]

Girls like me don't need no bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face
The way you goin' ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
Can't turn it back now baby you gone and past that line
So give it on up now
What you gonna do

[Chorus]

Ремикс от Mojo понравился, чувствуется в нем постмиллениумный шарм.
Жаль, что дорого очень, придется поднакопить деньжат.
Спасибо большое, denizzzka90)
