They just started playing the hell out of Elle Varner’s “Refill” song on the radio and it seems that the whole world has gravitated towards her. I haven’t heard of Elle before this song hit the airwaves and I still have mixed feelings about “Refill”. I must say, however, that I like her voice and the flavor of her music. She’s bringing more ‘soul’ to the scene, definitely not that ‘autotune pop’ crap that I’m tired of hearing. So I did alittle research, and found out that Elle Varner signed with MBK/J-RCA Records (along with a co-publishing agreement with Sony Music) in October 2009. So she’s been grinding for awhile. Her debut single “Only Wanna Give It to You” features J. Cole and was released August 16, 2011. The song serves as the lead single off her upcoming album “Perfectly Imperfect”. Before the release of the album, Varner released her first project, a mixtape titled “Conversational Lush” which I’ve included in this blog post. I guess I need to stop sleeping on her. Varner is about to take over.
