Elle Varner - Only Wanna Give It To You
Artist: Elle Varner
Featuring: J. Cole
Producer: Oak & Pop
Album: Perfectly Imperfect
Label: MBK Entertainment/RCA
It’s been more than a decade since Mary J. Blige and Method Man recorded All I Need Is You, a track that has to be the definitive “girl I’m a player, but I might just settle down for you” love song of our time. Whether she knows it or not, Booth newcomer Elle Varner is carrying on that proud tradition today with her new single Only Want to Give It To You. Over a heavily ‘90s influenced beat by Oak & Pop (Pop Wansel & Oak Felder), Varner puts her distinctly unique voice on full display, laying down charismatic vocals declaring that she loves her man even more than her shoes – and from what I hear she really, really loves shoes. Playing the Method Man role here is J. Cole, which gives a shout out to All I Need is the opening line of his verse and goes on to admit that he might just be ready for some serious monogamy – no Snuggie though. If you’re digging this fresh take on classic R&B you’re in luck. We’ll undoubtedly be hearing more from Varner as she prepares to drop her J Records debut, Perfectly Imperfect, this December.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on August 8, 2011

 Damn, that bassline is sick. Gotta give props where props is due, and "Oak & Pop" went off on this track. Not trying to take anything away from Varner, but the two men on the production just outshown her a little her. She has a great voice though, and as usual J. Cole brings it, making for a very good feature here.

I know I've heard the first 3 secs of the beat on another song. Wu-tang maybe? Anyways, sick track and Elle's voice was phenomenal on this track and as expected, J. Cole killed it. It's been a while since I've given 5 stars but this deserves it...classic!!

First I love the production from Oak & Pop this song would not be the banger it is with out it. Elle's vocals blend in very well with the song. J. Cole was a great compliment to the song.

Dig the voice and the production. 90's hip hop/soul with a new millennium twist.

remember seeing her on BET Awards a while back as a 'one to watch' and was definitely impressed by her live performance...even though it was only a minute before the commercial break... but I'm glad to hear her first song... dope.

I heard this song several times in the past, but I didn't pay attention to who it was then (wasn't focused on music for a stretch).
But I'm glad I found out. Great song. |
