Toby Gad and Hana Effron single premiere “MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL STAY” music video

 Following the success of last week's single premiere, “MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL STAY,” voice of a generation Hana Effron and Grammy and Diamond-winning hitmaker Toby Gad, have released their epic new music video.

Directed by music video legend, Chris Applebaum (Rihanna's "Umbrella"), the video features Hana and Toby in a cinematic music performance contrasted by a vast field against the backdrop of the rolling Agoura Hills. The video mirrors the song's duality of vocal intimacy paired with a timeless soundscape of minimalist piano and haunting strings. Written by Toby Gad, with Moana 2 composer Emily Bear and Angel Taylor, the track pairs Hana’s dark, husky, soulful delivery with soaring, storybook choruses and piano-led warmth, echoing Norah Jones and Laufey while standing on its own as an elegant, emotional standout.

Gad says, "I have been a fan of Hana's for years, just fascinated by her voice. It is instantly recognizable, with a tone beyond her years. We connected over a live performance on my show and when I heard her sing this song, I knew it was meant for her. We had to record it. And here we are!"

Effron shared her admiration for the iconic songwriter, stating, "Toby has been part of the soundtrack to so much of my life growing up, I was thrilled when he reached out about performing together at his upcoming show. The second he sent me the demo of this song, I was completely sold. Getting to perform it live together, and then recording it for an official release, was such an honor!"
