WOW, I didn’t hear anything about this video dropping but alas, a short Google search and tweet from @ledisi later, I found it. And it only had 27 views! So, let’s get that number up!

What I get from this video for Ledisi’s excellent song “Higher Than This” is that she’s grateful for the past and realizing where she came from to being excited and happy with the present. The young girl sneaks in the club, gets on stage and gives it her all, imagining a packed house. FFWD to the future where Ledisi, now older and living that dream, is surrounded on the walls of the venue by pictures and snapshots of past greats and stars that she probably once looked up to, and is reveling in that moment as people are now enjoying her God given talent for themselves.

The lyrics are deep in this song, please listen to them and get into them! I love the little girl in this video too.

Grammy-nominated artist Ledisi’s album Turn Me Loose is in stores now! If you don’t have it, you slacking on one of the best soul releases in the past couple of years, I promise you….

Ledisi is a music & vocalist lover’s dream! Her voice is truly unmatched amongst the airwaves these days — a thing of power, grace, energy and raw talent unseen for a while. She’s a little bit country, a little bit Gospel, a whole lotta rock & roll!

Her excellent most recent album Turn Me Loose is a power packed musical journey, and “Going Through Changes” is one of the standout cuts on the album. Produced by Rex Rideout and co-written by Ledisi, the song soulful, somber and yet again, powerful expose of the ups and downs that we go through mentally in a relationship, good and bad, in and out, etc.

The video also exemplifies this, showing Ledisi almost in a struggle with shots of a mysterious pair of hands caressing her — and then, she is caressing herself. It’s a simple yet easy to understand treatment. Her mind is flashing back to the sexy moments that she’s struggling against.

One can say it’s a spiritual battle if you thought about it…but I won’t go there today with Ms. Ledisi!

All legs and makeup, Ledisi stands flat footed against her feelings and belting out this song to all those who will hear. Hopefully you’ve already heard because you’ve gotten the excellent Turn Me Loose. If not, take heed — this a change we can believe in! (OBAMA!)
