Varner also chatted with “106 & Park” hosts Bow Wow and Keisha Chante about the direction of her new album. “It’s an open letter.It’s my heart. It’s my feelings. It’s my growth,” she said. “I talked about a lot of the coming-of-age things that girls go through and now I’m a young woman and going through different stuff, so you’ll hear about it.”
She also talked about her musical style, which she coins “trap jazz.” “It’s the product of a girl who grew up listening to Ying Yang Twins and Ella Fitzgerald,” she said. “If y’all know Ella Fitzgerald [and] Billie Holiday I’m inspired by both. So I like to keep the beat rocking, but I have those jazzy vocals. I can’t get away from that.”
Additionally, Varner dished on the “Music Matters” compilation album. “I love it because it’s supporting real music,” said Varner.
