Elijah Blake & Toby Gad – “HERE’S TO US” (Music Video)

“HERE’S TO US” was originally written by Toby Gad and performed by American rock band Halestorm as part of their 2012 album, “The Strange Case Of…” and has over 100 million streams across platforms. Gad and Blake recently released a piano-vocal reinterpretation as part of Gad’s “PIANO DIARIES – THE HITS (Deluxe)” album, which presents Toby’s all-time hits in an emotionally captivating piano-vocal-strings rendition that gives his radio staples a timeless feel. The Piano Diaries version transformed the American #1 Rock anthem into an uplifting celebration of resilience and unity.
The new version gets an energetic trap-country makeover that is poised to become a turnt-up bar staple across America. Post Malone and Drake producer Roark Bailey’s hip-hop trap beat combined with Elijah Blake’s soulful vocals create this hard-hitting drinking jam.
