CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com With their eponymous debut album, Pamela Taylor and Audra Alexander, better known as Pam and Dodi, prove there's nothing profane about setting the sacred to R&B and hip-hop grooves. While other gospel acts like Mary Mary and Yolanda Adams have proven that singing for the soul can sell records to mainstream audiences, this Detroit-based duo turns out faith-filled tracks that should appeal to younger crowds used to getting glitz and bang with their bucks. The pair's dance-ready tunes are filled with stutter-stop rhythms, diva-style melismas, and finely honed flair, and they're delivered with high levels of gloss, thanks to hit makers such as Shep Crawford (Boyz II Men, Lil' Mo) and Warryn Campbell (Sisqó, Dru Hill) helping with production. But Pam and Dodi aren't a studio-tweaked creation, and it's obvious when the Holy Spirit takes hold, their voices entwining in gorgeous harmonies on the stunning "I Appreciate You" and lifting them up to meet the powerhouse vocals of K-Ci & Jojo (who join the girls on ""Nobody") note for glorious note. --Sylvia W.

CD ReviewsMore flash than substance...............2.5 stars Andrae Williams | Toronto, Canada | 10/14/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "Sorry to burst everybody's bubbles, but this album is NOT that great. I swear, if I hear another gospel/urban (ugh!) song with the words "Holla" or "Bounce" in it, I'm gonna flip. The disgraceful attempt by the producers of this album to turn Pam & Dodi into gospels version of 702 is shameful. Pam & Dodi are two excellent vocalists, that part is not the problem, but after listening to the album it just sounds like the producers/writers just threw some of these songs together without any kind of inspiration whatsoever. Just listen to the song called "Bounce". What the heck is that. Using a way out-dated slang term as the title of a song could not have been Pam & Dodi's idea, and if it was then they need prayer. While the R&B sound that they have isn't all bad, I just think it was too much of a predictable album, but then again, when new artists get signed to a big label and they put out their 1st project, it's very rare for them to have any say-so in how the project should be done. So they become the producer's puppet or pawn if you will. Ask Stevie Wonder to tell you of his days in Motown. You did it Berry Gordy's way or you hit the highway. Maybe in gospel it's different, but I don't know. The good side of this album, though small, was very entertaining and uplifting. K-Ci & JoJo make an appearance on "Nobody", delivering their usual powerhouse vocals that catapulted them to stardom. J. Moss makes an appearance and helps the girls sing back-up on "There All The Time", the best song on the album hands down. Other notable tracks are "For Me, For You", and "What's Wrong". One song that really ministers to the soul is "It's Over Now", where one of the girls asks "how can you kiss the lips that call you out your name?" That is sure to speak to someone's situation. I hope they try something different for the next album, which I would still look forward to because these girls can sing. But the generic R&B soundalike stuff just doesn't peak my interest. Been there, heard that! God Bless!" These Two Women are The best! Anthony Ray McCardell | California | 07/30/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have heard many things about these two, but had never heard their cd, now that I have I can truely say that they are really good. I love all of their songs, and I think that they will be on top for a long time. God has annointed them and given them a chemistry, and No NO NO they are not copycats to MARYMARY even though they might have been inspired by them I believe that the two groups have their own style. I love them both. But my favorite right now is Pam And Dodi. I pray that God will continue to open up the windows of heaven and pour them out a Blessing. Anthony" Pam & Dodi! cashman | Detroit Mich | 08/14/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a solid album on all fronts. Pam & Dodi sing about the ups and downs of young men (like myself) and women while counting their blessings. They address day to day issues that few, if any other gospel artists are willing to touch. Their music encourages and uplifts also. From the opening track the mid-tempo gem "Don't Have To" to the praiseful song "I Appreciate You" this album has it all. They also address abusive relationships on "It's Over Now" and offer sound advice to young women who find themselves in such positions. But they also celebrate relationships on the song "Nobody" with special guests K-ci & JoJO. The standout track on the album is "What' Wrong". Pam & Dodi sing from God's perspective for us to cast all our cares on him cause he cares for us. They plea in back in forth fashion for us to bring all our troubles to him. I can't stop listening. Although they have been Unfairly labeled MaryMary wannabe's, Pam & Dodi have their Own Style! If they have anyone else style it would be the Clark sisters or they are a combo or Karen Clark Sheard/Dorinda Clark Cole/Lisa Page--Pam....Tramine Hawkins......Dodi. They have potential and its only a matter of time before they "Arrive""
