It’s been seven years since Elle Varner first caught our attention with the J. Cole-assisted “Only Wanna Give It To You” and her subsequent debut, Perfectly Imperfect. Unfortunately, it’s the only album she’s released.

Until now.

After being dropped from RCA Records–which in turn shelved her sophomore album, Four Letter Word–the BK-bred, LA-raised singer resurfaced last year with “Loving U Blind,” before following up with “Pour Me” featuring Wale a few months ago. And now, she’s officially back in action with her new album, Ellevation.

“There’s soo much I’ve wanted to communicate and express over these last few years and I couldn’t think of a better way to do it than through my music,” Elle says. “God continues to amaze me in the way that he has transformed so much of my pain and trauma into power and triumph. I pray that this record heals and uplifts people the way that it has been a part of my healing elevation.”

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion. Equal parts vulnerable and unapologetic, her work explores identity, liberation, and the complexities of Black womanhood.Raised in the DMV on a foundation of jazz, funk, and blues, Sparoh was drawn early to artists who challenged convention and redefined what was possible. Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy,…See More
