This live rendition, recorded at the iconic Metropolis Studios, marks an exciting new chapter in her musical journey, featuring two members of her full six-member band lineup.
British singer-songwriter Courtney Hadwin, who first captivated audiences worldwide as a viral sensation on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, has released a powerful new live version of her song “Call Me Back,” now available to view on YouTube.
Courtney’s music video for “Call Me Back” premiered on August 16, 2023. This live rendition, recorded at the iconic Metropolis Studios, marks an exciting new chapter in her musical journey, featuring two members of her full six-member band lineup. Although her other songs will incorporate the full band or different combinations of players, this version of “Call Me Back” brings a unique, intimate feel to the performance, allowing Courtney’s vocals to shine against the pared-down accompaniment.
Following the October release of her single “Jagged,” a bold teaser for her upcoming debut album, this new version of “Call Me Back” reimagines the song with dynamic instrumentation, which bring fresh energy and depth to the track. The partial band setup creates a rich soundscape that perfectly complements Courtney’s powerful vocals and emotional presence. Fans who appreciate her gritty, Janis Joplin-like vocal style and high-energy stage presence will find that this performance adds intensity and vibrancy, further highlighting her unique talent.
With “Jagged,” co-written by Kevin Bowe, John Fields, and Courtney herself, Courtney teased the themes of her debut album: individuality, authenticity, and embracing imperfections. “Jagged is about being out of the box, different, and not perfect in an industry that often expects you to fit a certain mold,” Courtney explained. This message of self-acceptance shines through in her music, underscoring her commitment to staying true to herself as she carves out her path in the industry.
Courtney’s upcoming album promises to blend genres—pop, soul, blues, and rock—with influences from legends like Queen. Each song will stand on its own, taking listeners on an emotional journey that reflects the artist she has become. With this new album, Courtney aims to capture a range of emotions, from love to frustration, joy to anger, offering a raw and honest reflection of her growth as an artist.
In addition to her new releases, Courtney is ready to bring her high-energy stage presence to fans around the world. While details are yet to be confirmed, fans can expect to see her live soon.
This reimagined version of “Call Me Back” is just the beginning. As Courtney continues to share live sessions with her band, build excitement for her debut album, and prepare for her upcoming tour, fans are invited to join her on this incredible new adventure. From YouTube premieres to live stages, Courtney is redefining her music and inviting her fans along for the ride.
