Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })How I Do is the debut album by Afro-American neo soul singer Resnote pronounced "reese".Released in 2001 on MCA Records, the record would be something of an anomaly within neo soul music at the time. As despite being a native of Philadelphia residental neo soul scene, it would experiment heavily with trip hop and alternative music of the era. Lending to its psychedelic and indie rock-esque sound and style. Another fact that would become notable about this record is that it would be mostly co-written and produced by the (at the time) little known producers Martin "Doc" McKinney (who would later become known for being the producer on The Weeknd's seminal Balloons trilogy) and Santi White, who would later go on as a solo artist by the name of Santigold.The album would go on to be moderately successful (due to singles such as "Golden Boys") and received positive reviews with most complementing her soulful, jazz-like vocals and her eclecticism. However, her mainstream relevance wouldn't last very long, seen as a result of not really fitting in comfortably enough with any other neo soul artists of the time and her label being phased out and absorbed by sister label Geffen Records. Leading her not to release another record until 2009's Black.Girls.Rock!.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Tracklist "Golden Boys" (4:40) "They-Say Vision" (3:36) "700 Mile Situation" (4:10) "Ice King" (4:48) "Sittin' Back" (4:05) "How I Do" (4:00) "If There Ain't Nothing" (3:25) "The Hustler" (3:48) "I've Known the Garden" (3:39) "Let Love" (3:54) "Tsunami" (7:48 / 7:16)note On the standard edition of the album the final track "Tsunami" has the hidden track "Say It Anyway" on the end, whereas the iTunes and special edition CD versions of the album come with "Tsunami" as an individual track and a bonus track called "Toxic You" accompanied with "Say It Anyway". | |

Trip Hop: The album would be sonically shaped by this genre, with its spacious and groovy production and atmosphere. | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| How I Do (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: "Tsunami" and on special editions, "Toxic You", which are the last tracks on either version of the album and the longest at seven minutes (however, both are technically two tracks, with the second hidden track, "Say It Anyway", seperated by some silence). | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| How I Do (Music) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: Hidden track "Say It Anyway" is this, coming at the end of the record after a moment of silence from the previous song and blaring out loud with a sound reminiscent of late 90s grunge and post-punk. | |

| How I Do (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Golden Boys" is one towards men who put forth a glamorous image of themselves to make up for their insecurities: "They-Say Vision" is another one against conformists within the music industry. | |

Genre Mashup | |
| How I Do (Music) / int_cd3703a2 | comment |
Genre Mashup: Like many neo soul releases of its time it would experiment with multiple genres. What set it apart is it's experimentation with genres neo soul wasn't already associated with such as trip hop, new wave and post-punk. | |
