Pain vs Love

“Pain vs Love” is a raw and emotionally charged R&B ballad that explores the tension between devotion and disillusionment in a fractured relationship. Songwriter Reggie Brown (aka DJ Silva Sir-Fa) paints a vulnerable yet defiant picture of love on the edge, with powerful vocal delivery by Shaliek Rivers that brings the lyrics to life. The background vocals—led by Wondress and supported by a resonant choir—add emotional weight and gospel-inspired soul to the track. Recorded and mixed with precision by Prince Charles Alexander, the song’s sonic landscape captures the inner storm of a man questioning love, loyalty, and his own strength. Each lyric pulses with conflict—“Pain vs Love is my battle”—as the protagonist grapples with betrayal, longing, and the fight to hold on. It’s a powerful anthem for anyone who’s ever struggled to find clarity in the chaos of the heart.
