Producer Warren Okay “Oak” Felder has produced for some today’s top urban artists: Keri Hilson, Lloyd and Chris Brown to name a few. A few years back in 2007 the producer released a production used for Mario’s “Kryptonite” featuring Rich Boy. Fast forward to 2010 and the production is recycled, being used for Karina Pasian’s “Just ‘Cause.” So which of the two singers was made for this production?
Ladies first, The young aspirational singer Karina Pasian lays down her melodic vocals over the bass-heavy production. She sings about young love giving her mate an ultimatum stating how she is too young to compromise everything she is.

Mario uses the production to sing about relationships using many Superman metaphors and analogies. He confesses how hard it is to stay faithful to one girl; the temptation of all the women is too hard to not give in. Rich Boy adds that extra bit of fire with his rap verse.

So who owns? We’re going to have to go with the original and say Mario makes it one heck of a song. The flow and the harmonizing and the energy behind the song is great.
Mario. I feel like Karina has all the goods, but she rarely delivers. I love ‘Slow Motion’ though – she nailed that. Also, I think Alexis Jordan, who sorta fills the same niche as her, is far superior.
Really, i haven’t listened to Alexis Jordan as much but I she seems okay. As far as Karina goes, she’s up and down. One minute she’s showing off major star potential and the next is…
When I started Karina’s “Just ‘Cause”, I honestly had Mario’s “Kryptinite” stuck in my head because I really liked that song when it came out. However, as I listened to Karina’s song, I could see that it was made to suit her own vocal style. With that being said, I feel that both artists owned their own versions. I would bump Mario’s in the car, and I was mellow out to Karina’s in my room while reading or writing.
