About a month or so ago we posted this great track from Elle Varner featuring J. Cole now they’re back with some video goodness.
From the press release…
Up-and-coming singer, “soulwriter” and musician Elle Varner premieres the video for her buzzed about debut single, “Only Wanna Give It To You” featuring J. Cole, today- October 4th. Elle is stopping by BET’s 106 & Park tonight for the exclusive television premiere. The vibrant Orson Whales-directed video features a cameo by “Mr. Nice Watch” himself, J. Cole.
“Only Wanna Give It To You,” written by Elle Varner and J. Cole and produced by Pop & Oak, was included in Entertainment Weekly’s “The Bullseye” as a must-download of the week. Since its release in August, the track has caught the attention of critics and fans alike, dubbing the free-spirited 22 year-old as THE artist to watch for 2011 and beyond.
Elle’s unparalleled sound is a combination of funk and meticulous rhythm with an added quirkiness as showcased throughout her forthcoming debut album, Perfectly Imperfect, dropping this fall on MBK Entertainment/RCA Records.
