Elle Varner is a 22 year old singer-songwriter signed to J Records and MBK Entertainment (Alicia Keys, Tyrese). You may recognize her from last year's BET Awards, where she performed her song "So Fly" and was featured as one of their "Music Matters" artists alongside Miguel and J. Cole.
After a successful remix to Miguel's "All I Want Is You", Elle has released her debut single "Only Wanna Give It To You" featuring J. Cole. The song has been steadily gaining at Urban/R&B radio. The video premiered today on 106 & Park:
Her debut album Perfectly Imperfect is due before the end of the year!

"Refill" is Top 10 at Urban now, and there's still no word on a release date.

3 tracks have been officially released: OWGITY (1st Single), Refill (2nd Single), and So Fly (promo single). I can't wait to get this she's a breath of fresh air I love the 90's throwback sound.

I love that the 4 songs we have (which ironically, were sent out last fall as a promo CD to PI) still sound fresh and alive. I'm really excited for this one, I wonder what the 1st week numbers will look like.

I Don't Care is brilliant, of course. Is it the next single?

Ok, this album is pretty awesome! I love Stop The Clock and Not Tonight! Leaf is right in line with the feel that the other singles have given, just chords that feel good. Same with Welcome Home. I can't wait to really get into this, but after 1 listen, I'm not disappointed at all. Oh What A Night will need to grow on me a little, though. Nice, cohesive effort. I hope she can push at least 35k next week.

Love the album. That voice just gives me chill. Strongest debut from a R&B female since Jazmine Sullivan's, IMO. I hope she is a success

This is hands down one of the strongest R&B albums of the year, and arguably could be the best female R&B release so far this year. I especially love the Oak productions on the album; in my opinion, I think that's where she shines the most.

I'm not really feeling the album at the moment, maybe it's a grower.
Among the tracks I hadn't heard before listening to the album, "Not Tonight" is the only one that caught my attention.
I'm loving "I Don't Care" and "Not Tonight".

Only Wanna Give It to You
Refill
Sound Proof Room
I Don't Care
Leaf
Oh What a Night
Stop the Clock
She's got a great voice and the production is a great fit. Her lyrics are a bit too self-conscious/self-deprecating at times but it's a solid debut overall.
