Jamelia - "No More"

Jamelia's video for the follow up to the powerful Beware Of The Dog single has just been released. No More is the third single from Walk With Me, and just like the previous second single, heavily samples a hit from the past. Golden Brown by The Stranglers is now the sampled track and if No More follows Beware Of The Dog's footsteps, it should cause more controversy around Jamelia and her songwriting skills. If you recall as I do, Jamelia was very criticized to use a sample of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus. Although the track is a masterpiece (at least, I think so), it was only a moderate hit scoring a number 10 on the UK Charts. No More is as good as Beware Of The Dog, and I hope it'll peak a bit higher on the charts so Jamelia have another top 5 hit (just because she deserves it). It will be released after Girls Aloud vs. Sugababes' Walk This Way, and in the same week as Fergie's Glamorous and Hilary Duff's With Love, so I don't think it has a very strong competition. The video is somewhat representative of the song. It first shows Jamelia lying in bed, possibly feeling bad about a break-up, and then we can see she leaves it all behind gets up and does a hell of a performance. Pretty brilliant...
