In the R&B world, there are many big names, but some of them are too often overlooked. While she’s had her moments to shine, Elle Varner is one who doesn’t get enough props. Her single, “Give It To You,” featuring J. Cole, put her on the map.
However, Elle Varner is likely best-known for “Refill,” her 2011 single. In that era, she was definitely touted as the next big thing. When her star was set to rise, though, Elle Varner seemingly vanished from the spotlight.
At Essence Fest, Elle Varner spoke to HIP-HOPVIBE.COM about this, explaining her hiatus. Last month, she returned with her ELLEvation project, which is an independent release. The hiatus was for Elle to take control of her career, independently releasing music, working with Wale, and many others.
