Elle Varner brought in the New Year with the new single, “Pour Me” featuring Wale. Hitting streaming services on a lovely Friday morning (Jan. 18), the lovesick boozy bop piggybacks off the success of her September release, “Loving You Is Blind.”
With an assist from Washington D.C.’s very own, the “Bad” emcee heads the single with his love-drunk rendition of sexual frustration, riding over the well-placed piano keys and 808s. Varner’s voice dominates the track with the healthy mix of rasp she has become known for.
“Pour me one more One more, one more, one more/I’m thinkin’ ’bout you, drinkin’ ’bout you/All night for sure/Pour me one more/One more, one more, one more/I’m thinkin’ ’bout you, been drinkin’ ’bout you,” she sings.
Speaking with RatedR&B in December 2018, the “Refill” songstress revealed her new single was a “double entendre about being a poor girl who’s lost the love she wants. So, pour her another,” she continued. “It has that ’90s feel. It has these hard drums and chords that are just so tickling. It’s me on a thousand.”
