But don\u2019t let the humble setting fool you. This version hits like lightning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"26fgCQnM\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"COMING APRIL 4TH PRE SAVE NOW #singersongwriter #newmusic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OSB_VFbkb-I?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No band. No effects. Just raw vocals and echoing tiles \u2014 and still, Courtney delivers a performance so full of urgency and emotion, fans are calling it even better than the studio version.<\/p>\n<p>Her voice \u2014 once compared to icons like Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Tina Turner \u2014 now carries the weight of experience. And in this unexpected acoustic setting, you can feel every jagged lyric as she belts the chorus with a kind of soul-baring power that gives goosebumps.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalntertainment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Courtney-Hadwin-2.jpg\" alt=\"Courtney Hadwin 'You Only Love Me When I Lie' Video - TotalNtertainment\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the kind of performance that reminds you why she first stunned the world at just 13 on America\u2019s Got Talent \u2014 and proves that she\u2019s grown into an artist fully in command of her voice and her story.<\/p>\n<p>Now 20, Courtney is stepping into the spotlight on her own terms. \u201cLittle Miss Jagged\u201d \u2014 due out September 12, 2025 \u2014 marks a turning point. Recorded in Memphis with Grammy-winning producer Kevin Bowe (Etta James, Joe Cocker), the album moves confidently between rock, funk, punk, Motown, and sweeping ballads. It\u2019s bold. It\u2019s personal. And it\u2019s undeniably Hadwin.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
