Since I have been listening to <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Res </span></span>all week I wanted to start with this super talented and lesser known artist. <b>Shareese Renée Ballard</b>, better known as <b>Res</b> (pronounced <span title="Pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English" title="Wikipedia:IPA for English">/ˈriːs/</a></span> <i>reese</i>) was born in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania" title="Philadelphia, Pennsylvania" class="mw-redirect">Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</a>. You can't put Res in a box. She has an ability to transcend any genre and a point of view and consciousness that you don't hear in most current music today. As the case is when a women is too talented and crosses too many genres(Kelis, Erykah, Missy) the industry and radio don't know what box to put you in and listeners miss out.

Of course I'm completely addicted at this point. Mariah really shows off her vocals on this album. It's the perfect blend of old and new Mariah. I'm talking about <span style="font-weight: bold;">Musicbox</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Emotions</span> era mixing with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mimi</span>. The Dream and Tricky really allow Mariah and her voice to be center stage. They layer her vocals so Mariah is her own backup. Serving as her own backdrop vocally allows the album to be whimsical one moment and haunting the next.<br /><br />Leading off with <span style="font-style: italic;">Betcha Gon Know</span> Mariah recounts a lover cheating and her revenge on said lover. I think everything from production,vocals, and lyrics all work together to really set a mood for the story to play out. Here's hoping for a video! I hope this album has 5 videos, especially with gems like this sitting on the album.<span style="font-style: italic;">H.A.T.E. U.</span> starts off like a dream sequence from Super Mario Brothers 3 for Nintendo. That is a great thing in my opinion. I really think this is signature The Dream and it's refreshing with Mariah belting it out over the knock of <span style="font-style: italic;">Devotion</span> . There is a <a href="http://www.supload.com/listen?s=OYXcuv">demo of the song</a> with The Dream only and different lyrics. Both are great but I prefer Mimi. As a rule of thumb, if you give me a song to snap to, I will love it. Such is the case with <span style="font-style: italic;">Candy Bling</span>, which is one of my favorite tracks. I love the layered vocals throughout, essentially Mariah is her own best backup singer. The throwback chill vibe of the song is perfect. Mimi has a flow that not many can touch and at times is this close to being a rap. I can't blame her for boasting, her vocals are flawless.<br /><br /> Probably the smartest choice(regarding single choice) her camp has made in years is releasing <span style="font-style: italic;">Ribbon</span> as the 3rd single. <span style="font-style: italic;">Ribbon</span> just sounds like the radio right now. It's different for her and this could be a big hit. I could see a weaker vocalist working with that song and being drowned out, but Mariah runs with it.<span style="font-style: italic;">Standing O</span> sounds better with every listen. Another definite contender imo for single. This was a grower for me, but it didn't take long to have this on repeat. I love how the beat throbs like a heartbeat. Also loving the instant end a' la <span style="font-style: italic;">Make It Happen.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />It's A Wrap</span> is Classic. This shit can not be touched. Seriously, the closest to 90's Mariah we've been given in years. It's a throwback, but it's modern. The Dream really put it down on this beat. I love when The Dream does Doo-Wop and he makes it Doo-Wop 2009. I love how she starts off with the popped bottle and into the whistle. I really hope to see a video for this. She sounds amazing. Other stand outs on the album are <span style="font-style: italic;">The Impossible</span> which lets Mariah get her sexy on. Singing in her whisper range Mimi puts it down on the slow jam. It's like what Mariah would have sounded like if she went more R&B in the 90's. It's love. On the subtle and lovely <span style="font-style: italic;">Languishing</span>, Mariah asks "Would you cry for me?" accompanied by snaps and piano. This interlude is the most honest and touching Mariah we hear on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Memoirs</span> and it's beautiful.<br /><br /> There are some generic Mariah songs in the mix here and there(Inseparable, Up Out My Face.) Been there, shook that off. Anyway you paint it <span style="font-weight: bold;">Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel</span> is a masterpiece. The album has continuity that most Pop/R&B albums of the last half of this decade have been lacking. She sounds great and I believe the voice is still there and we have our evidence on an album of ridiculously addictive mid-tempos that showcase her voice in a way we haven't heard. This is one of my favorite Mariah records. I've read a couple reviews and some <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20307643,00.html">critics</a> and <a href="http://thatgrapejuice.net/2009/09/memoirs-of-an-imperfect-angel-your-thoughts.html#comments">bloggers </a> are not loving this like I am. I can see no reason, call me a lamb, but this album is great and IMO sums up where we are with popular music in 2009. You can call it future-throwback, but it's definitely classic.<br /><br /> <span style="font-size:180%;">Any Thoughts? </span>Kettle Cookedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13117820945956763401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518934.post-33901818636287290732009-09-25T13:38:00.006-04:002009-09-28T21:41:34.310-04:00Imposter<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTD8uGqWaKDlW_rz2hNEE4xrqe9EgGtHAP9bn2-cdfKYMwcfHYiM1vBrFmS19BD_K-QVzQm481OO29riMBZGGu8b6iyxPozZ1t83gwBZfvGC6_YHsGG0MQkQ4jAenMTBlqYJ0q/s1600-h/56745653.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTD8uGqWaKDlW_rz2hNEE4xrqe9EgGtHAP9bn2-cdfKYMwcfHYiM1vBrFmS19BD_K-QVzQm481OO29riMBZGGu8b6iyxPozZ1t83gwBZfvGC6_YHsGG0MQkQ4jAenMTBlqYJ0q/s400/56745653.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385464039917433026" border="0" /></a><br /><br />New <strike> Britney</strike>Myah Marie leaked today.

I think she is back to some of her best work in her career and why one of these was not chosen as a single is beyond me. I hope this is her biggest album in years.<br /><br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A_xt4mARUlU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A_xt4mARUlU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object>Kettle Cookedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13117820945956763401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518934.post-54504118291389561502009-09-06T15:48:00.001-04:002009-09-06T15:50:27.916-04:00Britney Spears - You Oughta Know<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KtmYrh3KX_A&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KtmYrh3KX_A&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Waiting for the HQ video of this.Kettle Cookedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13117820945956763401noreply@blogger.com0
