A Bold Teaser for Her Upcoming Album
British singer-songwriter Courtney Hadwin, who first rose to prominence as a viral sensation on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, has just dropped her latest single, Jagged. Co-written by Kevin Bowe, John Fields, and Hadwin herself, this surprise release serves as a teaser for her much-anticipated debut album, which has been five years in the making.
Hadwin, now 20, is known for her distinctive, powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence. Drawing comparisons to legends like Janis Joplin, her raw talent and versatility have captivated fans around the world since her breakout America’s Got Talent audition at just 13 years old. Now, with Jagged, Courtney is once again proving that she’s not afraid to break the mold.
Produced by Kevin Bowe, Jagged is a song that celebrates individuality and imperfections. In Courtney’s own words,
“Jagged is about being out of the box, different, and not perfect in an industry that often expects you to fit a certain mold.”
This daring approach signals Hadwin’s determination to remain authentic in a music industry that is often focused on perfection. She describes the track as a “last-minute release” for her loyal fans, a thank-you for their patience as she puts the finishing touches on her upcoming album.
Hadwin has been steadily carving out her place in the music world, moving from viral sensation to accomplished artist. Her journey has been fueled by a love of music and a desire to stay true to herself, despite the pressures that come with being in the spotlight from such a young age. In recent interviews, including one with MN2S’s Spotlight Podcast, Courtney opened up about how she’s remained grounded while navigating the challenges of public attention. Her fans have been a constant source of support, and she is eager to share more of her story through the upcoming album.
This new single, Jagged, offers a glimpse into the creative evolution that Courtney has undergone in recent years. As she gears up for the album’s release, Hadwin promises that her new music will explore a wide range of emotions—everything from love to frustration, joy to anger. It’s an honest reflection of her experiences over the past five years, showcasing her growth not only as a vocalist but as a songwriter with depth and authenticity.
Fans can expect Courtney’s debut album to draw on a range of influences, blending genres like pop, soul, blues, and rock. Drawing inspiration from Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Hadwin intends for each song to stand on its own while contributing to a cohesive whole. With Jagged setting the tone, it’s clear that her upcoming project will be anything but conventional, offering an exciting fusion of sounds that highlight her unmatched vocal talent.
In addition to the new music, Courtney remains a force on the live stage, having performed in iconic venues such as Carnegie Hall and Las Vegas. Her high-energy performances continue to win over audiences worldwide, and she has big plans for the future, including live shows to celebrate the release of her album. An “album party” featuring sing-alongs with fans is just one of the special experiences she envisions, creating a space where she can connect directly with her audience.
As she continues to develop her artistry and share her music with the world, Courtney Hadwin is cementing her place as one of pop music’s most exciting young talents. With the release of Jagged, she’s giving her fans a bold preview of what’s to come—and it’s clear that this is only the beginning.
