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
Glad to see that she has a video for "Refill" now! :-)
