MUSIC VIDEO: STEPH JONES – “LA LA MEANS LOVE”

Steph Jones premieres the Kamal Robinson-directed video for “La La Means Love”, co-written with The Dream, an addition to his Gravity mixtape.

The video was shot over a year and a half ago when Kamal asked him to sing in front of a green screen, which Steph had forgotten all about until he checked his email and there was the video earlier this week.

    I always like this song but Steph just doesnt do it for me as an artist. He doesnt have that it factor. I wonder why he left Ford Models, cuz thats where he belongs.

    Always loved this song, feel good record. With that said, I cant get into steph as an artist. He doesnt do it for me. I wonder why he left Ford Models cuz thats where he belongs.

  6. Realist

    WOW!! i was a fan of this song when it came out and now im a fan of the video and the story behind it. The description on youtube said that he shot 3 videos in one day and his Director surprised him with the video and that he didnt even know that it was being done. I’m so proud of my boothang..

    Steph homie,
    Its refreshing to hear an actual singer in the game. Loving the track and artistry of the video! DOPE homie, keep doin ya thing, these dudes have a serious contender. See you at the Grammys… in a Robot&Brucling bow-tie!!!!!

    Nice to hear a new style-

  12. Starr

    This vid is the business! Loving Steph’s vocals as always and he’s looking uber handsome**

  13. real talk

    someone needs tell this guy to stop the non sense real talk! im all for diversity and neo soul neo hip hop indie folk rap pop rck whatever but he is wack, dont know why, im sure ppl are lyin to him like that song is HOT or whatever but its NOT! garbage! i like that he is himself though. if he is smart he gonna start doin some bubble gum pop songs that sell fast to gain money and popularity and a fan base,wich can be a musical experience to him, when ure a real artist u can do it al real talk right? so its a win no matter what. That fan base won, i mean real fan base who gonna wait in lines to buy your music and sh!t, defendin you and supportin u and not internet ppl makin fake ass compliments, u coud now just release these kind of non sense/unique music of his if he wants, the true him, or whataver, they will support! that would be intelligent, cuz he would have money to invest in his career, style and all that, and he got the physique, nice body, cute face, he can. what a waste! all that boring stuff aint workin

  14. Kyla

    I thought that girl was Nicki Minaj for a quick second! I was about to yell out “NO!”

    The song isn’t horrible .. but I’m not a fan of his at all.

  15. Summerglow

    I’m so happy Steph made a video to this! I heard this song a while ago and seeing the video brings it right back fresh again. Steph is a truly talented and humble artist and he brings that with his music and everything he does. His music is REAL MUSIC and its beautiful and I live for more of it. I love the video, I love the song, and I love STEPH! He’s a triple threat and I can’t wait to hear and see more of him! The negativity on some of these comments just drives ambition. Its a powerful love :)
    La Laaaaa
    Thanks CL for this post keep the great artist coming!

  16. Pegah Sasani

    The song is sweet and I love the simplicity of the video. Very talented and creative artist!

  17. Nia

    I just dig Steph. He’s a little over-stimulating sometimes, but he comes off as sincere about his work. Such a cutie as well

  18. thestrange0ne

    In all honesty, I LOVED it. I loved it when I first heard and I adore it more now that it has a visual concept to it. What some of you have to understand is, not everyone wants to be categorized. What’s Neo-Soul to YOU might be totally different in the ears to others. I understand how the lot of you feel about it, but to people like me, who understands that any music that can stop you in your tracks and make you snap to it or feel good at that moment is real music, knows this is the bomb. Steph Jones has been blessed with a voice that can move mountains and put babies with colic to sleep (I know, crazy analogy, but work with me here people). I’m happy that he decided to share this video and add it to the track list of the Gravity lifetape. I think ya’ll should try listening to it. I promise if not all, then at least 2 of you will love that mixtape.

    His creativity is genius, and the people he work with, like Kamal Robinson, brings it out even more and I LOVE it! Awesome video Steph, even though you had no idea it was done! LOL! Can’t wait to hear more from him!!

  19. neon

    ehhh this is the best HE has ever released but it still isn’t great. the vid sucked but it was low-budget so the recycled concept and awkwardness is fine i guess. his face is cute, voice is average, style sucks (maybe im just tired of the vest shirt jeans tie thing. i did that at some point when i was a teen-yes i’m a girl lol), lyrics suck, body is average. did i get all of it? i think i’m just harsh b/c there’s so much great underground music out there.

  20. trucie

    he always puts me in the mind of Marques Houston. They look alike but yeah i downloaded this track like more than a year ago so it’s def played out in my book.

    So i’ve been a Fan of steph j for a while now. Since 2007/2008. This song is not new. I loved it when i first heard it and still do. I’m not liking this video too much. I dont know it its just ok. I mean i could feel this song with or without watching the video. It doesn’t do anything for me. But steph is a great artist. He puts 110% into all his music, and writes everything himself. He puts out music that doesn’t ffollow the crowd yet still brings people together.

  25. backingbarack

    He is so corny, I think as corny as Nick Cannon. I thought no one could ever match that wackness but this dude is lame.

    He is trying though bc I’ve seen him on the Bad Girls Club, Baldwin Hills, dating Jordin Sparks, and being interviewed by B Scott to be seen and heard. He is trying but even dating a C-list “celeb” is getting him nowhere. I think this dude was even signed to Ludacris’ label bc I’ve seen him in some videos.

    He will never make it because first off he looks dirty as hell, like he smells and like he talks to himself. Dude, needs to stop trying so hard to be different and coo-kie unless he really is weird and crazy. Also, wack/low budget video.

  26. parisian girl

    not bad at all!!!
    actually i love it!!

  27. pfta

    ÑUMBER 21 R U STEPH HIMSELF OR HOW MUCH DID HE PAY TO YA?

  28. say mang "why u gotta drank all the kool-aid"?

    Why ya’ll dissin’ Steph Jones? What he ever do 2 u?

  29. Mother Jefferson

    Listen to all these people come for Steph Jones!

    He is probably the realist dude out, not trying to be somebody he’s not, like we need another one of those. I love this song, I hope he gets more shine!

  30. soulsistah

    is it me or does he kinda look like chris brown with his eyebrows, and the facial expressions that he be makin’. but he ain’t doin’ much 4 his career, that’s whay people ain’t really heard of him, but 4rm what I’ve heard, his songs be aight, he’s definitely one of those srtists that wnats 2 step outta of the box, I can tell u that.

  31. backingbarack

    lmao @ 31

    That probably is Steph Jones with a screen name like that

  32. Tiye8

    Definite potential there to be something kinda big but that video is super-corny; looks like something that used to come on Friday Night Videos back in the ’80s. He’s cute but he needs a team behind him that knows what they’re doing–marketing/styling. He can sing thoughl and he’s nice-looking, so that’s a start. And yes, he does remind me of Breezy a little bit; they favor slightly in the face/similar expressions.

  33. ASSA

    *******************SNAPS******************* “A MILLION SNAPS FOR BEY!!!! Don’t hate DAT。【meetingrich.com】 !!!!!!!!!!

  34. Weekend_Love

    I SEE POTENTIAL BUT NOT FEELING THIS SONG

  35. TOO EACH THEIR OWN

    I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHO HE IS, OR WHAT HE DOES. NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE HE WAS LINKED TO JORDAN STARKS. BUT IT SOUNDS JUST OK.

  36. thestrange0ne

    LOL @ #31 & #35

    No, I am not Steph Jones, but I am an advent listener of his. And no he did not pay me to say anything. I don’t know Steph, never met the dude but I hope I can one day! That came from my heart and it was my honest opinion. Also, in my opinion, I don’t think Steph has to pay anybody to write a good review; I’m not the only person who considers this good music.

    @ #35 Yes, he was on all of those shows and did interviews with B. Scott (that’s one of his might frands!!) But that shouldn’t define one’s persona when it comes to something they love. He loves to sing, he loves to make frands, and he loves to make people smile and his voice does that, so why not share it?

  37. @followfi

    This video is absolute shit! I loooooove the song, I always have but I wish he just forgot about the video all together. I know some people who could do a better video than this. Very disappointing!

  38. Truth

    Forreal forreal every negative comment is wack! the consumers wack!

    How are you going to say dude is wack and his music is wack because you don’t like his clothes and “he is not crossover enough”….y’all went from addressing the music..what it’s about (something we dont even get now) LOVE, to being his damn A&R’s.

    I don’t blame labels anymore for the downfall in music..I blame y’all and laugh when y’all blame labels. They do what y’all like! idiots!

    So glad Monica slipped through the cracks

  39. AMiran

    Steph Jones is going to be MEGA! Mark my worlds – he has a universal spirit and appeal that just radiates !!! My goodness, always waiting to hear more.
