The second ‘Spellbound’ hits your ears, you know Courtney Hadwin is back with fire in her voice and freedom in her lyrics. This is not the little girl from America’s Got Talent. This is a grown woman who has turned heartbreak into electricity and isn’t afraid to show her scars.
The track was a surprise even to Courtney. It wasn’t planned for her debut album. However, during the last 23 days of recording in Minneapolis, a guitar riff from producer Kevin Bowe and her raw emotions combined to create something magical. ‘Spellbound’ came to life from real feelings of being trapped in a messy crush and it shows. The energy is gritty, honest, and unforgettable.

Fans are going wild over it. Courtney says she’s “freaking out” excited and hopes listeners feel the same fire she did when the song was born. Based on early reactions, they absolutely do. It’s raw, it’s catchy, and it’s Courtney stepping fully into her light.
And while ‘Spellbound’ proves she can bring the heat, Courtney’s earlier work showed us she’s always had a soul. Go back and watch her gripping take on Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag. It’s funky, full of passion and shows she’s always had that wild James Brown spirit.
