She already was starting to become part of the established, regular R&B girls like Jazmine... I think K. Michelle really affected her.

I think it's a little bit of label politics and just not keeping the ball rolling while she was garnering a buzz

I don't think that elle varner was part of anything. She literally just had the one song that people liked :dead:

"Refill", the song with J. Cole, the song where she had them ghey in the video. Sis was on the RISE... It did not take much, and she could have properly broken through...

K. Michelle said something about the label/management team comparing them, Elle losing her identity over hanging out with her.

I think y'all give her too much at times. "Refill" was definitely the only song MOST people knew. Of course, we knew more being more in-tune with music. But I really don't know tho. Elle was very talented and I loved her music, so I don't know why she didn't continue

I loved Elle Varner's mix tape and first album.  She had a very unique sound.  And I don't think she was ever trying to be a pop mega star.  I know that's all some of you think there is.  She was just trying to be a great artist who made good music.  I don't really know what happened.  I think a lot of the new r&b acts have it harder because r&b, in general, isn't in a good place.

Her music was very colorful / diverse.  She had one song that was reggae-ish, one that was country-ish, one that was very 90s r&b inspired, one that was kinda 80s hip hop like mixed with 70s soul, one song where she rapped a little... Her mix tape and first album were dope because she wasn't a conformist to what's expected of an r&b girl is typically supposed to sound like.  And I dug her fro and colorful clothes.  Then sometime when working on her 2nd album her sound started being more similar to what's popular already. And her look did, too.  I think maybe she lost herself...

I agree. Actually outside of refill, i like what I've heard. The vocal i even like because it has alot of character. I like when singers can give u that raspy, off sound but be ON! Every vocal doesn't have to be that pitch perfect, whitney vocal
