Toby Gad, writer and producer of GRAMMY award-winning songs such as John Legend’s “All Of Me,” Beyoncé’s “If I Were A Boy,” and Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and 18 year old starlet Angelina Jordan, known for her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” on AGT which was praised by Queen themselves, are releasing a new original single “BAD VALENTINE.” This female empowerment anthem features Angelina’s expressive deep contralto, which has been compared to Amy Winehouse’s soulful voice, and is now available on all DSPs and streaming platforms HERE.
BAD VALENTINE initially went viral after Angelina and Toby teased it in a live-streamed Hotel Cafe gig in Los Angeles. This prompted thousands of reaction-videos by Angelina’s super fans and celebrities such as Heidi Klum, demanding the official release. Having previously collaborated on Toby’s recently released album, PIANO DIARIES – THE HITS for the reinvention of Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy,” the new single presents another riveting song that perfectly blends Toby’s production prowess with Angelina’s soulful vocals evocative of Amy Winehouse. Featuring an addicting piano melody, hard hitting drums, and strong-willed lyrics, BAD VALENTINE promises to become an instant classic.
A narrative music video that complements this outrageous track is already in production. A soulful stripped piano-vocal rendition of BAD VALENTINE, the “Piano Diaries Version” releasing on October 4th, will serve as the first single for Toby’s upcoming PIANO DIARIES VOL 2 album. After an already remarkable career spanning multiple decades and amassing over 18 billion streams, he recently released his album, PIANO DIARIES – THE HITS which transformed some of his biggest hits into emotive piano-vocal masterpieces. The project featured stars such as Victoria Justice, Keke Palmer & Aloe Blacc, Johnny Orlando, Louisa Johnson, Angelina Jordan, Celina Sharma, and more.

She became a Norway’s Got Talent winner at age 7, America’s Got Talent sensation at age 14, and now at age 18, Angelina is set to become a global household name.
