That Voice: Courtney Hadwin Brings Rock and Soul Back to a New Generation

Rob Sheffield

In a time full of pop songs, one voice is cutting straight through the noise. It is not polished. It is a gritty, powerful sound that feels like classic rock and soul. It reminds you of legends like Tina Turner or Janis Joplin. This is Courtney Hadwin, and she is bringing that huge, old-school energy back to a new generation.

She does not just stand there. She uses the whole stage, flipping her dark hair and using strong arm gestures. Her whole performance is expressive and has a retro style. She sings with her whole body, as she belts out “my bags are packed”. She wears a denim jacket and sings under a vintage-style lamp. It is pure rock and roll.

MY BAGS ARE PACKED

People who see her are just blown away by this sound. It is not something you hear every day from someone so young. One viewer said, “I seriously thought this kind of music was gone! She is incredible.” Another comment just said, “That is a voice from another time. It is like seeing Janis Joplin reborn.”

That soulful energy in her own music is special. It is the same fire she brought to a much bigger stage, in front of millions of people. This was when many people first saw her. She took on a song by one of the greatest rock and soul legends of all time.
