The moment Courtney Hadwin opens her mouth, time stops. In this stripped-back live session at London’s Bookhouse studio, the 21-year-old powerhouse proves why she’s one of music’s most thrilling voices; that signature rasp, those jaw-dropping high notes, the raw emotion pouring through every syllable; this isn’t just a performance but a masterclass in vocal magic.
