With Elle Varner dabbling into an entirely different sound on her sophomore album, Four Letter Word, there was bound to be an underlying reasoning for the broadening of her horizons. Well according to a recent interview with Billboard, Detroit rapper Eminem played a major role in the inspiration for some of the material on her new project.

"There is a bit of a thread. It's telling a complete story," said Varner. "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."

Four Letter Word is expected to release this fall and will feature more collaborations, including "Don't Wanna Dance" featuring A$AP Ferg.
