IN THE SPOTLITE: ELLE VARNER


This week "In the Spotlite" is new songstress Elle Varner. Raised in Los Angelos by two musically inclined parents, she was destined to be talented. With the help of the Amazing Grace Conservatory, The Hamilton Academy of Music's Vocal Jazz Group, and NYU's Clive Davis' Department of Recorded Music she was signed to MBK/J Records in 2009. Recently she debuted her first single "Only Wanna Give It To You" featuring J.Cole, from her upcoming album "Perfectly Imperfect". Not only does she have an amazingly raspy voice but she also is a songwriter and guitarist! Check out her song "Refill" about her intoxication of him and "So Fly" with it's Erykah Badu "Clever" vibe! Her sound is Beauty meets The Beat stimulating not only our ears but also our minds with it's smooth and sultry sound but hard and invigorating lyrics. I feel that she's not "the shoe you pass by in the store window" and well "I sure do hope that you feel like I do"! Check her out! (Tune in next Sunday for another edition of In The Spotlite!)
~Sincerely, Me

But once again, that path was cut short. Yet, that didn't discourage him. He went on to assist in writing songs for artists such as Justin Beiber, Brittany Spears, Keri Hilson, and  Brandy.  Recently, he also appeared in Beyonce's video for "Run The World (Girls)". Now, the doors have opened again for him and this time he is going at it solo, which ultimately might be just what he needed. Luke James exudes sincerity, not only in his music but in his personality as well.  He doesn't want to just simply make songs that s...

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Do you ever find yourself frustrated when trying to communicate with the opposite sex? At times it can seem as if we speak two different languages or as if we aren't even the same species. How are we supposed to be together if we can't even talk to and understand one another? Apparently, we are expected to at some point figure it all out, but how can we when from the time we are kids we learn to communicate differently?  Women are more focused on connections and for men all talk and little action just doesn't make sense. This ultimately leads to a lot of frustration, arguments, insecurities, and unhappiness. Has this happened to you? Is that how you landed here on this site? Or perhaps you've read books and articles explaining how the genders brains are wired differently, offering tips on how to apply the information. But if you're like me, this can still leave you unsatisfied because what if we don't want to learn to communicate differently? Or wh...
