The songs on Love And Hate, the latest release by Pamela Payge,  are an infectious mix of synthesized pop and Pamela's unique vocals, and fully delivers on it's promise of bawdy beats and well-crafted pop music.  Make no mistake, Pamela is a pop goddess, but Love And Hate is much, much more. It's danceable and delectable, a delicious mix of pop, hip-hop and jazz that will keep you listening over and over. And, Pamela herself proves to be much more than pure pop, showcasing  a provocative, sultry and sexy side to sync-synth beats and samples on the song Tastes Like Candy, and her sighing whisper on My Baby's Coming Home is pure decadence, a sensual and overtly sexual masterpiece.

"Commit To Our Love" has a great, jazzy feel that really separates it from the rest of the disc.  The vocals and production are like nothing else on the disc, but it works because it has a slight R&B feel with heartfelt lyrics, a marvelous bridge and sax solo and just enough uptempo syncopation.  "Toss And Turn" is a gem, another break from the norm that features soulful lyrics and rhythm and a violin lead , but still manages a classy-yet-retro feel reminiscent of the mid-1980's.

Pamela composes her own lyrics and is top-notch vocally.  One of the things I personally disdain about pop music is that vocal content is usually altered to the point it is nearly unrecognizable or buried behind beats and synthesized instrumentation.  But Pamela shines here, rising above the arrangements, particularly on "Crazy In Love", which is her strongest effort vocally on this release.

Love And Hate is an eclectic and insatiable blend of pop, hip-hop and jazz, with just enough lyrical eroticism to keep you listening over and over.  It's a great girls night out CD (women will love "Tell Me Girls" or "It's The Weekend"), and has a definite top-forty feel to it.  For all the rave reviews that Britney Spears has received for "Blackout", if that is your particular genre, Love And Hate is certainly more mature and decidedly better.
