For anyone who can’t remember the last time they listened to a whole album without skipping a track or feel as if record deals are being given away, help has arrived.
New York born singer Karina Pasian is offering an astonishing perfect debut album entitled “First Love,” arriving in stores August 19th. “It’s taking a look at the world from the point of view of a 16-year-old,” she says. Musical savvy than most her age Karina’s album is truthful, funky and real. Taking you though a range of emotions this is truly one of the finest debut discs in years that will make fans of golden-age music crack a smile.
Karina has been compared to Alicia Keys, and has worked with some of the biggest names to produce her debut album, including: Gordon Chambers, Carlos McKinney, Lil Mama (who duets on “Baby Baby”), and The Dream and Tricky Stewart, who’s best known for their work with Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Madonna’s “Me Against the Music”.
The first single released was “16 @ War,” while sounds like nothing else on the radio, it describes a scene in which “ain’t no daddy’s where I’m from just mad mothers.” More than half of the album’s tracks are relatable, while others just make you want to get up and dance. If you’ve never heard about Karina Pasian before, you better get familiar.
