     Even though Idle Warship, the collaborative project from New Yorks Talib
     Kweli and Pennsylvanias Res, has taken off after having been a long time
     coming, there are still hurdles to overcome as a joint venture. Kwelis
     name and reputation looms over the project, but both artists are quick to
     assert their independence as a duo. This is definitely not a Res album,
     or a Kweli album  its completely its own thing, Res says.
     I just want people to understand this is not  not  a hip-hop project.
     This is not Talib Kweli featuring Res. This is not soul, adds Kweli.
     Just come into it with no assumptions; you might be disappointed or you
     might really love it. Were just asking for people to listen with no
     expectations.
     Idle Warships debut, Habits of the Heart, is a musical sidestep from
     what fans might expect given their previous solo work, but that hasnt
     stopped their momentum or supporters from coming to live performances in
     droves.
     Once you see the show youll know this is a real band. Its high energy,
     up-tempo, and really fun, states Res. Weve been working on that for
     the last couple years, just playing together and getting in the certain
     groove.
     The chemistry extends back to 2000, when Res was featured on Too Late,
     a cut off Kweli and Hi-Teks Reflection Eternal album, Train of Thought.
     The pair met through Kwelis longtime manager Corey Smyth, CEO of
     Blacksmith Music, who also managed Res. During this time, the
     Philadelphia songstress was working with Martin Doc McKinney on her
     debut album, How I Do. I was, like, 20 years old when we met, recalls
     Res. Basically, itd be situations where our manager would have to drop
     something off, or tell him something, and Id be hanging out. So we
     always crossed paths.
     A few years and a bunch of career highs and lows later, the two met back
     up and started to collaborate on a new project just for fun, Kweli
     says. The pair penned six songs within the first week, and after
     realizing there was something more to the project, decided to pursue an
     album and choose a band name. In October 2009, Party Robot, Idle
     Warships debut mixtape, was digitally released for free, culling blog
     attention worldwide. We did Europe for about six weeks two summers ago,
     and because of the Internet, people were at the shows in Switzerland
     knowing the record, notes Res.
     Habits of the Heart came next, serving as a strong female-themed record
     centered on love and relationships. Its all based on habit of the
     heart, explains Res. We might fall for the wrong guy, but we keep
     falling for the wrong guy cause thats what were used to. These
     messages can be heard in the opening track, Enemy, a cut about domestic
     abuse, and songs such as Covered in Fantasy, which features Chester
     French and John Forte, focuses on a strong woman fighting for her worth
     in a relationship, while Rat Race tells the story of a person stepping
     away from the limitations of being put in a box.
     For now, the duo is focusing on the album release, while gearing up to
     really showcase their tracks on stage. We definitely are looking forward
     to touring in the coming year, maybe opening for artists and headlining a
     few dates, says Res, but well see what comes.
     320, free on the web ---> archived ;) hip-hop as genre i guess, but you
     can read above. graph nobel is a third member of the group, although not
     mentioned in the above review. not sure who produced her solo song here.
     "try it on" is a busta rhymes cover and "girls on the dancefloor" is a
     far east movement cover. enjoy!
