Jae Stephens is "R&B's next crossover star"

Jae Stephens' gorgeous new video for single "girl no more" dropped last night, proving that the LA-based singer has the visual artistry to match her vocals. Directed by Keitaro Cloward, the video finds the R&B singer backlit by sultry blue lighting, cloaked in shadows as she leans against a chain-link fence. Intercut with nostalgic soft lens footage as Jae wanders the city, her 90's inspired denim and tracksuits share a likeness to current it-girl Normani as well as old school artists like Monica and Brandy. 

Blink and you might miss sparingly used cuts to carnal counterparts –snakes, bears, sharks –crafting a tone of defiance reflective of the lyrics themselves. 

"Never liked the way I bite back, did you?" she croons, leaning against the fence with striking confidence for a 22-year old, "I'm not even your girl no more."
