LeToya’s brand new Ne-Yo penned single ‘Not Anymore’ premiered literally moments ago over at LeToyaOnline.com (shout out to Ced!). Keeping it entirely real, I can’t say I’m particularly keen on this one, having given it a few listens. The mid-tempo cut does sound like it has grower potential, yet lacks the spark of first single material and lyrically is kinda ‘been there, done that’ territory for the former Destiny’s Child star. Vocally, she sounds great, I must say.
I still hail her 2006 debut as one of the most solid R&B efforts in recent years, so I’m remaining optimistic about what her sophomore set ‘Lady Love’ (due in April 7th – same day as Ciara’s new LP) will be serving up. For her sake (particularly after hearing this), it needs to be the hotness. Anyway, you can listen to ‘Not Anymore’ below
Hit or Miss?
im feelin it, its not the greatest thing but its good, i think
EH. IM A FAN OF HERS AND THIS SONG ISN’T BRINGING IT. SHE’S BEEN GONE FOR TOO LONG TO JUST COME BACK WITH THIS.
boring song….it will only reach the urban audience…
she should have come with something waaaaaaaayyy better.
sorry toya. stil hoping for something hot…
I like it.. but with her voice and swag she coulda came harder.
I can’t wait for the album!
i’m sick of this pop crossover sound! Everyone is trying to go mainstream.
Great vocals! Nice song and yes I can see it doing well in the urban market….not sure if it’s crossover though. Guess we will see! I really like her as an artist though.
This is single material but not first single hotness . . . she needs to dig deeper and bring it . . . we need something new . . . hawt . . . and banging in the ’09’
Its nice its no different then Ciara Never Ever IMO
Actually Never Ever is more addictive and more appealing. Not anymore has potentially I seen top of the year everyone is coming with midtempo songs Beyonce Halo Ciara Never Ever Keysh You Complete Me Tierra Mari Hunt 4 U CMilli US Agasint the World n Toya Not Anymore.
Honestly I could only see Beyonce and Ciara doing well. Never Ever and Halo already getting good airplay and Ciara’s video we know will boost her song even if her vocals arent even strong. I wish her luck. I know “The Truth Is” blogger is somewhere laughing his a** off at this song!
I looove THIS SONG!!!! LeToya Rocks!!
I really think it’s rather odd for the “Oh oh oh” part since “single Ladies (Put A…)” has a similar part… Interesting.
The song wasn’t bad, it’s a great album filler track, but this should not be released as a lead single. There isn’t any push for any emotion. If she wanted to release a ballad as a lead single she should have put her complete heart and soul into it.
This is just going to do what every1 thought, help push her album back. Sorry but point blank this ish (even though it’s a decent song) CAN NOT compete with Beyonce/”Halo” !!!

*COME CHECKZ IT OUT!
I am not really feeling this one either. I wish her the best though.
Why the first thing come out somebody damn mouth is something about Beyonce sayin “oh oh” in a song. Some people are pathetic. Hell, Brandy did “oh”s at the beginning of “Departed” (which were much more intricate by the way). Get out of STEALonce p*ssy and realize that she didn’t invent a damn thing. And sho as hell didn’t write s*** either.
I only like the song because NeYo wrote it. It shouldn’t be the first single tho. Maybe 2 or 3.
^^^ Ain’t that the truth. Since they was in a group together they will always put them together. A shame really. She has come along way and to get a chance in the music business after what happened to her is big. I admire her drive and she didn’t give up but nobody sees that but looks past it. I like the song and I will support her. All that bey talk is just crazy and let this girl do her thing without all that.
My favorite DC Member is BACK!!!! I am really feeling this song!!! Keep up the good work Toya!
THIS SONG HASN’T BEEN OUT A GOOD 2 HOURS AND SHE IS ALREADY GETTING GOOD VIEWS IN DALLAS, HOUSTON, PHILLY, DC AND AMSTERDAM. SHE IS DOING HER THING AND I RESPECT HER HUSTLE. Y’ALL ACT LIKE IT AIN’T ENOUGH ROOM IN THE BUISNESS TO HAVE MORE THEN ONE SUCCESSFUL PERSON IN THE R AND B FIELD FOR WOMEN. TRUST SHE’LL BE BIGGER AND BETTER THIS TIME AROUND AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY THING SHE GOT GOING. AND THIS SONG IS GOING TO CROSSOVER ON FEB. 3 B******
SHE HAS HER TWO NEW MOVIE “CARAMEL” 2.10.09 AND PREACHER’S KID COMING LATER THIS YEAR SHE IS AN AL AREOUND GO GETTER. AND I AIN’T GONE FAULT NOBODY FOR STAYING ON THERE GRIND.
GO TOYA I WILL BE BUYING THE ALBUM.
It is a nice song, but I’m not sure it was good choice for a lead single because it sounds like a lot of other stuff out there already. I really like her and want her to stand out. Can’t wait for her new album to drop.
Waiting for Kelly, but not bad Toya…..
I think Ciara song and Beyonce song will smash. Simply because its Cici n Jeezy and Im guessing her video will have some crazy dancing and make people love it even more. Halo is a masterpiece POINT BLANK!
Kind of disappointed its to bland and blah for the radios. Its like every artist out have a midtempo even the guys! Neyo Akon Justin Baby Bash etc.
GARBAGE! TORN kills this and I was hoping this would kill Torn, So DISAPPOINTED!
It’s good. I think it will grow on people. but she need to come out with something that bangs. I love Toya and stand behind her. I hope she comes hard.
Love the Song…Cant’s wait to buy the CD.
To all them haters.. Letoya’s CD will sale more than Solange, Michelle and Kelly’s last CD combined!!!!!!!
Craig
SHUT THE F*CK UP
Ain’t no body comparing her to Beyonce, in a nit-picking way… The are just stating the obvious!
And all y’all wanna be fake ass LeToya h***, I mean stans know.
@ ANON 12:24 B**** SHUT YO DUMB RAGEDY ASS UP. IF YOU DON’T LIKE LETOYA THAT FINE BUT DON’T BE PUTTIN THE PPL THAT DO LIKE HER DOWN BECAUSE WE LIKE HER AND BELIEVE SHE CAN DO IT BIG.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE DUMB TRICK
I LIKE IT. BY THE WAY, CAN WE JUST GIVE HER PROPS FOR STILL BEING IN THE GAME. KILL THE COMPARISONS ALREADY.
I love the song and people really need to get out and stay out that hater mode.
LOVE IT!!!!!
Calm down peeps lets stick 2da subject at hand…
This is not what i’d call 1st single material imo i think her snipplet track LAZY comes alot harder than this..
Love her vocals on this track though her technique has developed with the light and shade of subtleness that the song needs..
I like this song and lyrics for the most part but i think cus Torn was a kinda slow song 2 bring out the gate i thought she’d bring out the ANTHEM type track with the bangin crossover beat and catchy hook(which “Lazy” does)for the new album..
Not Anymore reminds me of her other snipplet of Don’t Need It
I’ll just wait and see how it sounds on radio to get a feel of it but this year has started with so many balladish tracks from females that i think Toya should grab the opportunity to get the 1st banger of the year out dere as thats whats missing right now.
I support all DC members (except Michelle). But this song is very boring & Ne-Yo sounding. All his songs are saying the same thing. Get over it! He did you wrong. You're hurt. You don't care no mo. You're gone.
Um yes. We get it! Why aren't you "gone" yet Miss Ne-Yo?
I like it…though i think it won't never get at #10…maybe…the best songs out there are "My Love" by The Dream & "Never Ever" by Ciara…those will surely crack into #10 if not reach the top…
i actually like it a lot. the melody is pretty catchy.
i liked it i thought it was cute, i dont think it is a good 1st single, but its a nice song..im happy for her
nobody cares. KELLY WHERE U AT?!?!
nobody gives a f*** about kelly rowland and her wack material or beyonce and the fact that she's not had an original idea since 1998. the only destiny's child members makin' decent records are michelle and toya. i'm excited to see how her record sounds in comparison to her last one; i kind of thought the last one sounded a little same-y but she can sing her ass off. and btw, solange >>>>>> everybody from dc3. too bad all of these "music fans" like the cookie cutter b******* that beyonce feeds 'em.
Not bad but “Lazy” would’ve been a WAY better lead single.
@ Anonymous 9:35
If u werent gonna say where kelly was you should have just kept quiet. Aint nobody tryna hear your rant.
Lets not bring Kelly into this please. Being a fan of both im not afraid to say this song is great. But lets no talk about sales cuz overall Kelly is still holding the #2 slot of most records sold from any DC member.
It’s just a buzz single, a teaser to get people talking. I think the rest of her album is going to be better, at least I hope so.
I don’t know if they made the cut or not, but I do love Don’t Need You and Lazy. Both of those snippets were HOT!!!!
"Not Anymore" has potential to do well, maybe not #1 but better than "Torn". She probably has hotter songs but if this is as hot as it gets her album won't do all the well. I've only listened to it once, maybe it'll grow on me and usually music videos help expand the purpose and tension to a song. Maybe when a music video is released the song will become better. & stop comparing LeToya to everyone else; Her name is LeToya not Beyonce.
Sorry but I LOVE IT. of course it is MY OPiNiON. I got goosebumps!
Oooo..forgot to add ^^^^ “Lazy” makes a better 1st single but she intended this to be a female anthem and hopefully her single will live her goal. Her vocals are better and she will HAVE 2 BRING OR HERE CAREER IS KAPUT! It’s catchy too and very memorable.
I really like it….but Torn was better!!
Think she shoulda come stronger, but wish her the best of luck!
@ anonymous 10:35am
if you didn’t want anybody to talk about kelly and her lame ass cds, you shouldn’t have brought her up. i think she has a great voice but the material she picks is subpar at best.
kelly still sold more than letoya
END OF STORY
I really like this song!….but I think that we need something new!
Recently all the songs seem same!
Vocally she improved very much! I wait which “Lady Love” is so good how much his first album!
I support her!
@ ANON 3:48 HOW PETTY OF YOU. OF COURSE THAT WOULD HAPPEN. IDIOT. LOOK HOW LONG KELLY HAS BEEN OUT AND THEN LOOK HOW LONG LETOYA HAS BEEN OUT. AND ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THAT DOESN’T MATTER, LOOK AT THE SITUATION. GROW UP.
GO LETOYA GIRL. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THESE DUMB ASS PPL DOUBTING YOU.
This song is not as bad as some of yall say it is stop going off what sam says and follow ya own voice we all have our own minds lets start using it and not let sam influence ya mind because the song is actually good and since yall said it sound like every thing else can i kno what song is that because it doest sound like every thing else vocals are on point there is a good message in the song but thats me i say how i really feel and i dont go on what other people say because they can be wrong
i have a bad feeling it will flop
feel sorry for the girl :[
oh well next
This song is great and her voice is on point! Loves it!!! Get it Toya!
SALES DO NOT MEAN YOU MAKE GOOD MUSIC.
period.
end of story.
going to flop harder than michelle hahahahaha XD
seems like a rip off of kelly rowland
wheres kelly at anyways?
im waiting for that 3rd comeback
I love it!
LOVE IT LOVE IT !! ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK ITS 1ST SINGLE MATRIAL ALSO!
AN 4 ALL THOSE PEOPLE TALKIN GARBAGE ABOUT KELLY WHO AINT EVEN GONE PLATINUM! WHICH LETOYA HASS U NEED 2 GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT!
@ Lynn
Did you read what you just wrote. “where’s Kelly at anyways? i’m waiting for that 3rd comeback” HAHAHAHAHAHA
DAMN DOES SHE NEED THAT MANY COMEBACKS. YOU ACT SHE BEEN GONE FOR YEARS. IDIOT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LETOYA DO YA THING MA!!!!
Well i like the song and love LeToya and the way she brought herself back into the game.
Great personality and humble attitude.
LeToya is makin more money than Kelly(i love Kelly 2 btw)as she invovled in properties, owning her own shop and being a singer/songwriter.
LeToya is the only other DC member 2have a number 1 album and go platinum as a soloist.
Kelly has more albums than LeToya so overall sales would be more
KELLY: Simply Deep, Miss Kelly+Deluxe
LETOYA: LeToya
Not worth comparing them, they both good artist in their own right & all Kelly needs is a hot team behind her as her vocals are defo ready for a major album.
LAZY should be the 1st single LETOTA but diggin this song and defo a great addition to the Lady Love project.
Has anymore seen a clip of LeToya performing a snippet of her title track Lady Love? It's a banger and could be a single also i think.
"mmmmmm well i been the super girlfriend" oooohh Letoya drops in that line sweetly.
Typical Ne-Yo writing on this but well constructed as usual. Simplicity is the hotness on this with parts like "NO NO NO is anybody else just fed up". Its a song which various catchy parts throughout the track which makes it a plus.
The great assest Letoya has with her songs is that she knows how to ride the rhythm, which is why her & bee where the main and best writers in DC.
She has really good arrangements and harmonies which give that litlle extra
Yeah im waiting for Kelly Rowland too,….she’s the hottest out of all the DC members…..i like letoya and her songs, accept “not anymore”,but she cant really perform on stage. no stage presence. come on Kelly,we need u
^ Kelly? LMAO!!!
^ seriously
Hm…u should all listen to "The Promise" album by Deborah C**…just got one copy n that album really is good r&b n of course her voice is one of the best of our time…"Not Anymore" isn't a sure-to-be-a-hit but it is a good radio song…
kelly’s ms.kelly sold 1.5 million before the deluxe was released.
simply deep sold over 2.5 million
Letoya only got platinum for how many albums got shipped into stores, don’t mean she sold 1 million
even her album was named one of the worst selling #1 albums.
so kelly is still the second best selling member but letoya is second to go platinum.
anyways kelly has accomplished alot, letoya where she at now?
^^^^^Why does it always got to be about the other memebers? Just cause billboard put that out now it’s the bible? The girl was gone for years and came out with a album and it went to number one. That means she worked hard to get there. Let the girl live and stop with the mess. She is pulling her own lane she ain’t thinking about them.
I agree with SAM this single is not better than TORN. But I have mad love for LeToya, judging fom hearing the song her vocals are off da chain. Can’t wait till her album come out.
Sound like a Kelly Rowland ripoff? Who would wanna rip off Kelly? *crickets* Ain’t she in London or something. What happened to her and Solange? Speaking of Solange…I see Solange is on the cover of Loreal with Beyonce. Where’s Kelly? Oh I forgot too busy making her third comeback…my back. N E way Go TOYA!
She JUST can’t sing. Its hard to listen to the whole thing.
^^^^ Can you? didn’t think so. She can sing and if you don’t think she can then why would you listen to someone who can’t sing.DUH! I wouldn’t listen to someone taht I thought couldn’t sing. letoya the song is really good.
Well for what it’s worth, I like it.
this is why kelly’s ms.kelly album sold more than letoya’s self titiled album
letoya is just one hit wonder i highly doubt this will make any impact on the radio or billbord 200.
Kelly is in U.S. working on her 3rd album!!!
ahh can’t fuckn wait
^You mean Kelly is in U.S. working on her 3rd flop!!! lmao
Kelly ain’t even in the U.S. nomore. She is in U.K. working on her 3rd flop!!!
After listening a second time I’m starting like LeToya’s song. LeToya voice is simply beautiful.
and Letoya is already at her soon to be FLOP.
with this single being a FLOP already
@ FERNIE
DON'T HATE B**** CONGRADULATE. LETOYA ALREADY GETTING GREAT REVIEWS FROM THIS SONG TRICK GET RIGHT. DON'T BE MAD AT LETOYA BECUZ KELLY CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE IT BIG IN AMERICA AND ONLY OVERSEAS. TELL HER TO LEAVE MATTHEW'S ASS. HATIN' ASS FOOL. FOR SOMEBODY THAT DON'T LIKE LETOYA YOU BE ALL UP ON HER S*** LISTENING TO HER MUSIC. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SAYING IS…..
"THE HATERS AER THE BEST FANS."
DONE WITH YOU>>>>>>>>>>NEXT
Kelly is maybe glad that shes a BIG HIT overseas
s*** I’d rather want the world to know me than just the wack ass U.S.
and i admit her last album was the real deal.
but what the f*** is this new wack s***?
I’ve heard it couple of times to like it and nothing has grew on me
but oh well wish the girl luck
it’s going to FLOP
s*** ill be back and even remind you after it flops to see who was right :]
@ FERNIE
IT’S FUNNY HOW SINCE KELLY ROWLAND FANS SUCH AS YOURSLEF CAN’T COMPARE KELLY TO BEYONCE BECAUSE SHE IS A BIGGER STAR SO Y’ALL TRY TO GO AFTER SOMEONE WHO IS STILL ON THE SAME LEVEL AS KELLY AND MOVING RIGHT PAST HER.
AND SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD STATUS IN THE US TO REALLY MAKE IT AND I’M GLAD SHE DOES BECAUSE SHE IS ALSO GETTING FOOD REVIEW OVERSEAS AS WELL. DON’T BE MAD SWEETIE. LETOYA GONE DO LETOYA EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE HER.
AND PPL LIKE YOU ARE JUST PLAIN DUMB. I HATE WHEN PPL USE THAT SHE’S GOOD BUT……”Y’ALL ALWAYS PUT A NEGATIVE WITH A POSITIVE” WHEN REFEREING TO HER. YOU’LL EAT YOUR WORDS I GUARANTEE YOU THAT. AND THEN WILL SEE WHO WAS RIGHT.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DOWN ANOTHER ARTIST IN ORDER TO BOOST YOUR ARTIST STAUS OR POTIENTAL UP. SO CHILDISH OF YOU. TRUST YOU WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE STORES WITH THE REST OF THE FANS BUYING THE CD
DONE WITH YOU.
what the hell, I am a beyonce fan too boo.
so Don’t get it twisted and try too get things mixed up.
simply you come bashing at me when half of the other people commenting in this post simply think this song is wack and it’s half true.
and no im not looking forward letoya’s new album so doing even think I am.
s*** even christina mill. came harder than toya.
@ Fernie
never said you wasn’t a beyonce fan mororn. What i said was since you kelly rowland fans icnlcuding you can’t compare kelly to beyonce becuz she’s the bigger star, you go for someone that is on her level and going past her. read everything sweetie befor you write.
and i’m not talking to everyone else, i’m talking to YOU.
And in this post if you think it’s half wack then say that don’t come with yeah this is wack and her album is going to be a FLOp and then you say her alst album was the real deal.
You in encloset letoya fan you wanna talk s*** and then say her last album was the real dael and then say this is ging to be a flop. S*** idiot make up your mind either you don’t like her or you do. I would have giving you more credit if you had of just said “yeah i like letoya but this song isn’t doin it for me. She should have picked another song.” But you didn’t.
“I’ve heard it couple of times to like it and nothing has grew on me
but oh well wish the girl luck
it’s going to FLOP”
FAKE ASS GET YOU S*** TOGETHER.
someone woke up on the wrong side of the fuckn bed?
let me start off, Letoya’s first album was the deal and ill say it again the deal, but what the f*** is this garbage? I don’t know.
and I could come here when ever the f*** I want and post anyshit I fuckn want.
it’s not letoya’s fuckn fansite.
so if it bothers you that I’m being real then get the f*** out by clicking on the red box on the top right hand corner of your fuckn screen!
and who said im always saying kelly is better than beyonce???
clean your ears boo cause it simply wasn’t me.
beyonce is better than kelly but im not doubting kelly because I know she could go real far but she spends most of her time with her head up in matthew’s ass…
and ill say this again FLOP!!!
OK
BYE
THANK U
Never said you couldn’t come on here and post anything. You can post all you want but you kept condritdicitng your self first you say it’s a flop then you say it’s weak somewhat and then you say flop again. Like make up your mind Fernie….
nor am i doubting Letoya because i know she is good and has the potential to be great and for you to hear a song and say FLOP you don’t know what it will do, just like the rest of these letoya haters.
now if i was to say about a kelly song or a whole lot of ppl said that about her you b****** would come out the wood work trying to call us haters and kelly is this and that. so plese dont’ start with the double standards. And i wonder wha tyou will say when this song is big…….
GUESS WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON THAT HUH?
lol Fernie you are the weakest link. Goodbye! lol
WOW WACKY SONG
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON’T GIVE UP!
(origdjeh1 on youtube)
Read Psalm23
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like this song but i think lazy shoulda been the first single or maybe even dont need u. not anymore is better than alot of this garbage thats out right now. i saw letoya perform when i saw the play “rumors” and she was flawless. she has improved greatly. i actually got to meet her and she was so down to earth. her cd is gonna be hot and i will be gettin it the day it comes out. letoya is a real artist and i love her music. shes in my top 5 favorite singers. as for beyonce i havent liked any of her music (except diva) since her 1st album. and i love kelly but her ms.kelly wasnt good at all. it had a few good songs and thats it. im kinda i bought that cd. still love kelly tho. letoya’s cd still is one of my favorite cds in my collection and i have alot of good cds.
oh i want to add one more thing. record sales dont determine if an album is good or not. lil wayne is complete garbage and he sold a million in the first week. cherish, karina, and lil mama all got low album sales but their cds are very good. talent is appreciated anymore.
To the asswholes "Not Anymore" is buzzing moderate considering there's absolutely no promotion from LeToya's management yet. I'll never understand why people who submissively has animosity for LeToya waste their time listening and commenting. It's called a life?!!! Anyways it's currently #58 on the R&B/Soul iTunes charts and has been released to many countries overseas and is RECEIVING AIRPLAY ASWELL.
Come on y'all REQUEST & DOWNLOAD!!
I do have lots of comments though right now i am too lazy to write them all down.BUT i do think that NOT ANYMORE is pretty much single material.Sure it needs more airplay to be a hit,but i think it can really be an anthem and song that can make her a true pop star.Speaking of her masterpiece LETOYA album,YES,it is a masterpiece and cant really compare to NOT ANYMORE by any means but it can serve to put her where she belongs and thats REAL stardoom!
UMM it currently has no airplay and i trully dont know why is that.ITS like the song doesnt exist.Its terrible.Nice ad on itunes though
