Karina Pasian - 16 At War
Artist: Karina Pasian
Producer: C. Tricky Stewart
Album: First Love
Label: VY Records, LLC
When three of the top executives in the music industry partake in a high-stakes bidding war for an artist’ services, they must be good, right? Well, that is exactly what Diddy (Bad Boy), Jimmy Iovine (Interscope) and Jay-Z (then, Def Jam) did just last year when teenage singing-sensation Karina Pasian arrived on their radar. Though he has since stepped down as the President of Def Jam, Jay-Z offered Pasian a “seven-figure deal,” according to the artist’s camp, with her debut album set to arrive in stores this year. To kick off the project, Pasian has released the buzz single 16 At War. Written and produced by en vogue tandem, The-Dream and C. Tricky Stewart, Pasian convincingly tackles the issues of stress and peer pressure at the age of 16.

This song did not show her off at all, she just kept saying 16, 16, 16... Beat was a bit generic and it's a track that I can't really relate to, so it's hard to get into it. Just think she should've chosen something better to debut.

Eh, it's okay, Obecalp sums it up, but I was to busy staring at her photo to even care about the song

You are right Obecalp. I was trying to find out what they saw in her, but I didn't feel, see, or hear anything extraordinary from her. I will wait for another song to assess her talent.

It sounds like she has a really really consistent voice, with great control. I can see why they bid on her. Unfortunately, I think this song will probably only be good for 16-yr olds. I am not really feeling the overall flow of the song. I don't think the beat fits the song she is singing...But, I still want to hear another track from her, so keep it comin Z!!!

I felt as though the song wasnt too great
If she really is this amazing talent that came onto the radar, she isnt really showing it in this song. The beat is good though. Overall 3 stars |

Ya'll all stupid. People who are rating this song are the reason people with good songs with good content never get a certain buzz cuz you dissect the song musically and disregard the topic she was talking about. Also, not to mention the dummies on a music review site talking about people's pictures or ignorant stuff. This song gets 5 stars cuz it's genius, her voice is on point and it's all around good. Hopefully she'll be around a long time and then y'all will probably hop on the bandwagon like the followers you are.

i heard other track from KP she can blow, n has great vocals almost surpasses the young teen tiffany evans...And i applaud her for the concept its diffrent n relatable. love the beat n lyrics but this song doesnt show much of her vocal power i think their teasin the fans wit this then have her come wit a banger.

I've heard her sing and she got the voice. I like the song and understand the message. It feels a little safe for her but it's good. The only thing about this song is that it'll only related to teens and somehow please parents who want their kids to hear it. Overall its a good song.

I agree with DJ Blaze, she does sound very controlled and consistent. Idk about worthy of a 7 figure deal, but she definitly has a lot of potential, but doesn't sound THAT unique to me besides the fact shes only 16 and sounds like this. I'm sure they wanted her knowing she'd sell huge with the young women who are the ones who buy albums now a days. I wanna see her on a song with a rapper.
