Editor's note

Elle Varner's honest, independent R&B path

A singer-songwriter who moved from major-label polish to personal, self-released work.

For a sense of her range, try 'Casanova' and 'All I Want Is Him.' They're both straightforward, no-fuss songs that get to the point.

Her debut album 'Perfectly Imperfect' had the J. Cole feature 'Only Wanna Give It To You,' but she's built a catalog that feels more personal since leaving J Records. Songs like 'Casanova' and '32 Flavors' show a writer who's comfortable with her own voice, not chasing trends. She's talked openly about anxiety and creative control, which gives her music a grounded, lived-in quality.

She signed with J Records in 2009 and put out 'Perfectly Imperfect' two years later. After '4 Letter Word' in 2013, she left the label and kept releasing music independently, like 'Ellevation' in 2016 and 'Girl on Fire' in 2019.

Elle Varner was born in 1989 and grew up in a musical family in Los Angeles, with her father working as a musician and producer.

Cole that became one of her better-known songs.

Her second album '4 Letter Word' came out in 2013, showing a shift toward more introspective material. After leaving J Records, she continued releasing music independently, putting out projects like 'Ellevation' in 2016 and 'Girl on Fire' in 2019.
