She’s still just 20-years-old, but Courtney Hadwin is now fulfilling the phenomenal potential she showed with her unforgettable performance on ‘America’s Got Talent’ in 2018. Since then, that electrifying voice has gained more power and expression, she has discovered who she is as an artist, and she pours her experiences into songs which burst with personality.
Now Courtney’s next step comes with today’s release of the new single ‘Die And Stay Pretty’. It comes as prepares to cement the first stage of her rise with her debut album ‘LITTLE MISS JAGGED’, which follows on September 12th. Listen HERE.
In ‘Die And Stay Pretty’, Courtney tells a story of doing all she can to help someone who is determined to speedrun the cliched rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, complete with references to old school legends The Velvet Underground and Echo & The Bunnymen. With the husky, bluesy tone and powerful high notes she uses, Courtney could have written this as a classic love song but instead she takes it somewhere far more intriguing and less predictable – the mark of an artist willing to do things on their own terms.
The belting, full-throttle soul voice that gave Courtney her first moment in the spotlight is the attention-grabbing star trait of the ‘LITTLE MISS JAGGED’ album. But as its singles prove, she deploys that vocal in unexpected ways: the rousing funk anthem ‘D.N.A.’; the neo-soul elegance of ‘You Only Love Me When I Lie’; and the surging pop-punk bounce of ‘Spellbound’. There’s much more new material waiting to be discovered on the 15-track set too.
‘LITTLE MISS JAGGED’ is available to pre-save / pre-order HERE.
Courtney Hadwin recently played her first official London show at the Fiddler’s Elbow, receiving a rapturous reception from the sold-out crowd. More live plans are in the works, starting with tomorrow’s set at the Festival VILA Lousada in Portugal and then the following UK headline dates. Tickets for the shows are available HERE.
