Description

[Machine Translation] Elle Varner, the most anticipated newcomer in the R&B scene in 2012, who has been called the post-Alicia Keys, is finally making her debut! Elle Varner's debut album, "Only Wanna Give It To You" featuring J.Cole (produced by Pop&Oak, who has been in the spotlight with Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, and more), has been getting a lot of attention. Hailing from LA and living in the Bronx, 22-year-old Elle Varner grew up with parents who are both songwriters, and from an early age she was surrounded by a variety of music from the Motown sound to Burt Bacharach. Her parents would ask her, "What words should we put in here? When he started singing in the church choir at the age of 9, he was completely fascinated by music and began to play the flute, piano, guitar, drums, and other instruments in addition to singing. He also began to play the flute, piano, guitar, and drums in addition to singing. In 2010, she performed at the BET Awards 2010, an unprecedented accomplishment for a pre-debut artist. In 2010, she made her presence known to R&B fans across the U.S. by performing at the BET Awards 2010, which was an unusual performance for a pre-debut artist. Her buzz has already started since then, and it is said that she now has 100,000 fans on social networking sites. The song "Only Wanna Give It To You," with its 90's soul ennui and hip-hop beats sampled from Biz Markie, is a lyrical departure from her personal experience. On the other hand, "Refill" is based on a trip to Miami with friends, and "So Fly" is based on his own heartbreak. Along with the aforementioned Pop & Oak, the album was produced by Jimmy and his father, Jimmy Varner, and the delicate rock ballad "Sound Proof Room" features his mother on the backing chorus. Her lively and glamorous looks are also attractive. A new diva with the potential to make it big on the R&B scene!
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

パーフェクトリー・インパーフェクト [輸入盤] / エル・ヴァーナー

ポスト・アリシア・キーズの呼び声高い2012年R&Bシーンの大本命新人エル・ヴァーナー、ついにデビュー! J.Coleをフィーチャリングに迎えたシングル「Only Wanna Give It To You」(プロデュースはクリス・ブラウン、ニッキー・ミナージュ等で注目株のPop&Oak)が話題となっていたエル・ヴァーナーのデビュー・アルバム、ついにリリース! LA出身、ブロンクス在住、現在22歳のエル・ヴァーナーは共にソングライターである両親のもと育ち、幼い頃からモータウン・サウンドからバート・バカラックに至るまで様々な音楽に囲まれて育った。両親から「ここにどんな言葉を入れようか?」と意見を求められたり、“育った環境といえばスタジオ”というような音楽漬けの幼少期を過ごし、9歳で教会の聖歌隊で歌い始めたころにはすっかり音楽の魅力に取り憑かれ、歌の他にもフルート、ピアノ、ギター、ドラムなども手掛けるようになった。その後、難関ニューヨーク大学のクライヴ・デイヴィス・プログラムを経て、アリシア・キーズを見出したことで知られるMBKエンタテインメントに発掘されたというから、その実力の程が伺われる。2010年、デビュー前としては異例ながらBETアワード2010でパフォーマンスしたことで全米のR&Bファンにその存在を大きくアピール。既にこの頃から彼女のBuzzは始まっており、今ではSNS上に10万人のファンを抱えると言われている。曲が生まれる背景は様々、という彼女。90年代ソウルのアンニュイさと、ビズ・マーキーをサンプリングしたヒップホップのビートが印象的な「Only Wanna Give It To You」は個人的な体験から全く離れてリリックをのせていったそう。一方で「Refill」は友人とマイアミに行った時の思い出、「So Fly」は自身の失恋がもとになっている曲。前述のPop&Oakと並んで、自身そして父であるジミー・ヴァーナーもプロデュースに参加しているが、繊細なロック・バラード「Sound Proof Room」は母親もバック・コーラスで参加。生き生きとして華やかなルックスも魅力。大器の予感を漂わせた新たなディーヴァがR&Bシーンに登場する!
