Courtney Hadwin Releases ‘You Only Love Me When I Lie’ Video Before Debut Album
Courtney Hadwin, the talented artist who rose to fame at just 13 years old on America’s Got Talent, is making a significant transition in her career with the release of the official video for her single, “You Only Love Me When I Lie.” This song is the first track from her upcoming debut album, “Little Miss Jagged,” set to be released on September 12, 2025.
In this new video, Courtney Hadwin does not present herself as the young child star that audiences are familiar with. Instead, she emerges as a determined young woman keen on crafting her own identity. She expresses, “A big part of my journey and this song was showing and telling how I’m no longer that kid everyone wants me to be.” Courtney’s voice, which has often been compared to iconic artists like Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Tina Turner, now reflects a depth and urgency influenced by years of songwriting and personal experiences.
“Little Miss Jagged” was meticulously produced in Memphis by Grammy-winning producer Kevin Bowe, known for his work with luminaries like Etta James and Joe Cocker. The album effortlessly traverses various genres including hard rock, Motown, funk, punk, and soulful ballads. Each track encapsulates a moment of growth and maturity, whether inspired by moments of triumph or challenges, showcasing Courtney’s genuine authenticity and powerful vocal prowess. Courtney shares, “This is the most personal I’ve ever been in my songwriting.”
As a precursor to the album release in September, Courtney Hadwin will be headlining at London’s Fiddler’s Elbow on 30 May. Fans in attendance can expect a high-energy performance from Courtney and her band, known for their intense and passionate live shows. Tickets and pre-save links for the album are already available for fans.
