Angelina's Team published 12 days ago this documentary about her called Angelina Jordan - 10 Years In The Making that has gotten over 219,000 views during this brief time:
During part of the documentary, one hears as background music, Angelina performing Unchained Melody with the Norwegian KORK orchestra at the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi tribute concert in that broadcasted live on NRK1 in Norway and online worldwide, on December 11, 2023. Narges' children and husband attended as she could not as Narges is still jailed in isolation in Iran for leading the support of woman rights changes in Iran:
And here Angelina reprises the Unchained Melody performance at her recent February 29, 2024 concert held at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Both performances have Angelina singing in about a 2 1/2 octave range, according to analytics done by a professional singer and voice teacher. This video also shows Angelina talking with the audience both before and after performing the song. Angelina thanks both her fans and her family for their support in her pursuing her dreams:

Angelina recently announced that she was collaborating with Toby Gad who is a multi-Grammy Award winning songwriter/producer. Among his songs is Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, All Of Me by John Legend, and If I Was A Boy by Beyoncé. He won a Best Pop Vocal Album for the song Einstein by Kelly Clarkson. Toby has been ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard. Toby and Angelina have co-written a song called Bad Valentine that is expected to be released in a few months. In the meantime, Toby has re-arranged If I Was A Boy for piano with Angelina singing. The new version will be released this coming Friday, May 31st. As part of the promotional efforts, Angelina and Toby have performed the song at several functions including at the sold-out 2,286-seat London Palladium and during the recent 69th Ivors Novello Awards ceremony held in London this past Thursday. They were interviewed by Amazon Music in a streaming session during which Angelina and Toby also performed the song. Ivors is the UK’s professional association for songwriters and composers. This year Bruce Springsteen became the very first international songwriter to receive Ivors highest honor, making him a Fellow of its Academy. Paul McCartney presented the award to Bruce. Per one video of the event, Angelina and Toby were at the front table near the stage podium. To get that kind of seat location has to mean that Toby has some serious sway. Here is a picture of Angelina on the before event red carpet: ![](//storage.proboards.com/6583876/thumbnailer/U0Qb0BkshgDWXUyzcxSC.png) Here is Toby and Angelina at the after party function on what looks to be a violet carpet: ![](//storage.proboards.com/6583876/thumbnailer/h0PQXeVmvHYMXvrtzePf.png) Here is an impromptu performance of If I Was A Boy during the sold-out Jesse & Friends show held at The Hotel Café in Los Angeles on 5/16/2024:

FWIW, the songs in Emily Bear's EP "Emotions", the first with her singing, were written with Toby Gad. E.g. www.jamartistsgroup.com/growing-up-in-the-spotlight-with-award-winning-composer-performer-and-singer-songwriter-emily-bear/"I met this songwriter, his name is Toby Gad, and we started writing together. We wrote this EP of music and I released this, plus a couple of other songs. It was the first time that I had put my voice into the world. It was surreal because I never thought that I would ever be a singer."

Here is an impromptu performance of the yet to be released song, Bad Valentine, during the sold-out Jesse & Friends show held at The Hotel Café in Los Angeles on 5/16/2024. This is a small and intimate 200-seat lounge-like venue. This song was a collaborative effort by Angelina and Toby Gad. They have been writing new material together and this song is the first from the fruits of their labor together. Angelina goes back to her jazz roots for this performance. This video was produced by a fan from the livestream of the event. He had contacted Toby for permission to publish and it was given by Toby for public viewing on YouTube:
