Earlier this week, Elle Varner released her video for "F--k It All." She recently opened up about her new album Four Letter Word and talked about some of her inspirations, which include rapper Eminem.
Varner won fans over with her sweet love songs but as reported by Billboard, she's ready to show listeners "her natural progression -- both as a person growing up and as an artist digging deeper into her craft."
With that being said, its pretty much safe to say "F--k It All" has set the tone for the forthcoming project.
"The most haunting thing about the tune for me is that I never break from the light, airy, melancholic melody until the very end," she told The Fader of the song. "It was a challenge as a writer and singer to stay on one melody and chorus lyric - 'F--k it all' - and let only the verse lyrics grow in intensity."
Four Letter Word is due this fall and while putting the project together, Varner found herself opening up to a wider range of influences and collaborations, including Boy 1da, Hit Boy and Da Internz.
More specifically, the "Refill" singer praised Eminem when discussing her inspirations.
"There is a bit of a thread," she said. "It's telling a complete story. I haven't fully decided how deep I wanna go with it as I'm finishing up the little sequences and interludes. I'll just leave it at this: Eminem is one of my favorite artists of all time."
And Varner was just as excited putting the album together as she is for fans to hear it. In fact, the entire album was reportedly recorded in a matter of five days.
"It's definitely gonna be different from the first album, but I feel incredible about it," she said.
Stay tuned for more updates.
