Having initially been a little underwhelmed by LeToya’s ‘Not Anymore’, the Ne-Yo penned lead single from her sophomore album ‘Lady Love’ (due April 7th), the song has certainly grown on me. It looks set to further remain a mainstay on my play-list, when looking at what its video will be serving up. Check out the report via Rap-up.com:
LeToya Luckett will shoot a video for “Not Anymore” on Friday in Los Angeles. The mini-movie will be directed by Bryan Barber (OutKast, The Game) and is the first single off the 27-year-old’s sophomore album Lady Love.The treatment calls for nothing you’ve seen from the R&B songstress before, conceptually and visually. The video will be set in the early 1960s, but will have a modern feel similar to Barber’s video for Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man.”
Taking place on an old revival tour bus and “American Bandstand”-like stage, LeToya is the newest addition to a Motown record label and is burning up the charts, eventually moving on from the man who broke her heart and reveling in the ultimate revenge—success.
With the song being a grower – and not as instantly likable as, perhaps, required – a killer video is just what is needed. I’m particularly anticipating this one, as some Barber’s previous work have really been awesome.
Your thoughts?

I agree with the first post comment, Capitol is really stepping up their game. I can’t wait for the video! Lord knows I’ve been waiting for LeToya to come out since forever. The video will be an absolute success with Barber as the director. Come on now… she will KILL IT!

Oh Yeah did anyone see the rap-up video of LeToya at the grammies? I thought she looked stunning. LeToya should keep that look for the album cover.

I can’t wait to see the video. Some of these people up here talk so stupid. I guess you just have to brush them off cause she does have fans and they are waiting for this video and album so with that being said I am proud of her for making it thru the drama and standing on her own. Congrats Letoya and can’t wait for the video.

WTF at the ‘black xtina’ comment. Get a life. Xtina is the one who tries hard to be black though lo fucking loud… And at all the haters please learn to appreciate.
Anyhow, can’t wait to see the vid, although I was expecting much more vocally (ie Jen Isn’t it love) however the song is a grower and I will always support LT… Go girl…
