    Your next song should be Bad Valentine. Co written between Angelina and Toby. A phenomenal performance. ❤❤❤❤👣

    Ashlena, Angelina has spent quite a bit of time with Toby Gad recently. They performed this song together 4 times and then Angelina released a music video, showing her walking around London. The most exciting news is, Toby and Angelina have been working on new original songs. We have heard one new song, "Bad Valentine" and James Thiel got permission from Toby to upload a performance of it. "Bad Valentine" is awesome and has great potential of becoming a hit, once it is officially released.

      Andy is right… *”Bad Valentine”* is awesome and James Thiel did a wonderful job of creating the video. He actually got Toby’s recorded audio of the performance (plus camera footage from the stage) to incorporate into his video. You really should react to it. 🙏

      BTW Ashlena… Angelina’s little sister Juliette (12) was in the audience and at the beginning of the song you can hear her yell “…Yeah, let’s GO!…” 💙💙🫶💙💙

      *ALSO!!!* this is important - James has added the lyrics to his video. They are “closed captioned.” Make sure you turn on English subtitles (NOT auto-generated). I found watching the video with the lyrics on was very helpful. The writing of this new (future?) hit is amazing!

    Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has worked with many of the biggest superstars in the music industry producing award-winning hits. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. He invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano. This song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has made it hers. Move over Beyoncé! It is more of a reimagining than a cover.
    Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be a hit! Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this undoubtedly is a huge break for Angelina.

    Toby Gad’s Piano Diaries album was released May 31. It features Angelina on this song and other artists on other songs that he cowrote.
    This performance was at an event at the Palladium in London. It honored songwriters and Gad was one of the guests. They also performed the song a few days later at the IVORS awards in London.
    Gad will also have a concert for charity June 20 called Piano Diaries live. It is assumed that Angelina will be there.
    Additional info on the song background. Gas was writing songs with BC Jean, the girl he mentioned, for Jean’s debut album. Her record company rejected the demo they did and when her record deal fell though Gad marketed the songs they wrote to established artists. Beyoncé liked If I Were a Boy and recorded it with Gad coproducing the song.

      Unfortunately, we’ve been experiencing historic Angelina for years. She needs new management to help her along. I believe it’s a family affair. Her mother and her uncle are managing her and Grandma is producing. This is probably why you haven’t heard anything on the radio from her. I hope she moves on and flies out and about on her own terms. She’s 18 now and should make her own decisions.

  • @ridgemanron
    @ridgemanron 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Her command of low resonance singing is beyond that of any female artist I have ever experienced.
    And when you combine it with her ability to slide up, up, up in range and do it in a jazz infused style
    of perfection that is reminiscent of her musical mentor, the great Billie Holiday, she just mesmerizes
    anyone listening to her.

  • @ronlim5402

    They did a livestream performance of this at the Ivors awards with Amazon music. Afterwards they were interviewed and in it Angelina said that they met through her publisher Sony. Apparently her record label Republic Records is separate from her publisher which is Sony. That's all I know about their meeting but in the interview he said that Angelina's version was better than Beyonce's. You can tell that he is very enamored by her talent.

    You should watch one of the videos, preferably the piano diaries version in the church... at least on your own;) Her voice is magical. Of course watch their new original Bad Valentine. Maybe the best she's done. Get's my vote, and it's just a raw unreleased version as of now.

  • @tomrogers1305
    @tomrogers1305 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    The two fully produced videos are on her YT Official channel. The Piano Diaries version (intended for Toby Gad's album of the same name) is set in a church with stirring piano and strings. For this project he selected eight of his best songs, choosing newer, lesser known artists to re-imagine his music. There is another version (official video) of this - more up-tempo/pop - with her walking the streets of London. He seems to be really enjoying his time with AJ, creating new music.

    Wonderful reaction, thanks Ashlena. You freeze ... endlessly listening to her wonderful and powerful voice and admiring her fantastic musical sensitivity, even the simplest song that passes through her hands becomes fantastic. She is simply unique and with a wonderful melodic perception. This live interpretation (not a cover for me) with one of the authors of the song (Toby Gad) playing the piano, is curative for the your soul and the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello give her a beautiful silky backdrop, until that wonderful whispered final phrase "... but you are just a boy".💛🧡❤

    Toby answered a fan question in comments that he had seen her on Got Talent, and then wanted to work with her. He didn't specify which one, I assume it was on AGT. In Nov 2021, he commented on one of her TikToks with "One of a kind! Amazing."
    They did a backstage performance/interview at the IVORS Awards, where Angelina said that she got contacted via her publishing company, Sony/AVT, apparently for writing originals with him. They have several in the pipeline, and already presented a live preview in a small venue for Bad Valentine. I'll try to give a link to that in a reply to this comment.

    If I Were A Boy
    Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy.
    This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.

      I agree with you.. but being an Angelina fan I think her songs need to be on the radio! She should be at the top of every list on the radio. Unfortunately, if she’s not we will keep experiencing her on these TH-cam videos for another 10 years. I’m thinking she needs different management that will work to promote her. I don’t think her uncle and mother are not doing it.

    It amazes me that people keep saying this is cover. I disagree. When the singer and the composer jam together to create a new interpretation of a song is is NOT a cover.
    A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year.
    In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the fifth(?) version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song.
    Wikipedia: Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
    In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.

    I prefer this ending. She concludes the song with a mocking huff at the very end of “boy” (which Beyoncé doesn’t do) which produces an emotional gut punch after all the emotional buildup of her performance. Tacking on a little piano after that would have diminished the effect.

    It’s a long story. Buttons the rest of her London visit. . It’s a bargain. He is from Germany. And he is doing his songs over with a few instruments. Like what he just did. Find them doing Bad Valentine.
