With just a handful of releases to her name, Yorkshire rock ‘n’ soul artist Courtney Hadwin has already made a big impact with over a million followers at TikTok, YouTube and Facebook as well as collabs with artists as varied as Sam Fender and Steven Van Zandt. Now building towards the release of her eagerly anticipated debut album later this year with the first taste of it coming next month, Courtney Hadwin today shares a reminder of her talents with a live version of the fan favourite ‘Monsters’, filmed at Metropolis Studios..
‘Monsters’ made a big international impact upon release, going Top 20 on the Billboard Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart and reaching #1 on various iTunes’ charts in both Australia and Sweden, while the official video has exceeded a million views. Captured at one of London’s most storied studios with her full live band, this live version sees Courtney pushing the song’s emotional impact to fever pitch with a thunderous, world class vocal and future rock star attitude.
Courtney says, “‘Monsters’ means so much to me. I wrote it at a time where songwriting was the only way I could express myself when I was struggling with a lot personally. To then be able to record it live where a lot of my inspirations in music had performed live was just amazing!”
‘Monsters’ is the latest instalment in Courtney’s Live At Metropolis Studios series, with all other videos available at YouTube including ‘THAT GIRL DON’T LIVE HERE’.
Inspired by the likes of Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Aerosmith and Bruno Mars, Courtney first came to attention as she won over huge audiences as she made the final of ‘America’s Got Talent’ when she was just 13-years-old. Even now, her audition is one of the show’s biggest moments with over 310 million views.
Six years on, she now has a wealth of big stage experience to her name with further collaborators including The Struts, Will.I.Am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones. She has also completed a run of Las Vegas shows and performed at New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall to honour legendary music executive Clive Davis on a bill that included the likes of Dionne Warwick, Carlos Santana and Art Garfunkel.
