New Single Captures the Elegance and Poised Restraint of Classic Soul and Modern R&B

[Chicago, IL] – [October 9, 2025] – Pam R. Johnson Davis has released her latest single, "Am I Wrong," a track already earning high praise from critics for its exquisite vocal control and sophisticated, understated production. Music reviewer Andre Avanessian described the song as a "slow-burning, soul-soaked confession" that stands "at the intersection of classic soul and contemporary R&B."

Avanessian highlights Pam R. Johnson Davis's masterful performance, praising her for not just singing, but "inhabiting the song." Her voice is lauded for its "velvety weightlessness" and "silken current," delivered with a poised restraint that "echoes the great soul singers of the past." The critique emphasizes the artist’s commitment to precision over pyrotechnics:

"In a world of vocal pyrotechnics, Pam chooses precision. Each note is placed with purpose, her dynamic range moving like breath — from a hushed vulnerability to a rich, honeyed swell that blooms at just the right moments."

Sonically, the track is celebrated for its warmth and intentional craftsmanship. The arrangement is described as "air and silk," featuring a bass that’s "all groove and glide," and jazzy brass phrases that infuse moments of "melodic delicacy." Crucially, the production is noted for its ability to frame the artist's voice:

"What’s perhaps most impressive is how the arrangement respects Pam’s voice. It never competes — it frames... The production, like Pam’s delivery, understands the power of restraint. In that space, the song becomes not just something to listen to, but something to inhabit."

"Am I Wrong" is a sensual, intimate piece of songwriting that earns its attention by being "thoughtful, intimate, and soulfully true." The track is expected to resonate strongly with fans of Alicia Keys, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, and Faith Evans.

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
