When Courtney Hadwin dropped the teaser for Monsters on May 12, 2023 it wasn’t just a sneak peek. It felt like a whisper from a deeper place. Just 38 seconds long, the clip pulsed with quiet tension. Her voice smoky and raw bled through lyrics that hinted at personal battles and quiet heartbreak. Fans immediately knew this wasn’t just a song. It was a piece of her. That short video, titled #newmusic, marks a turning point in how Courtney lets people in.
In Monsters, even the short snippet carries weight. The lyrics feel like secrets; she’s brave enough to sing out loud, facing inner fears, broken trust and the parts of ourselves we hide. There’s loneliness in her voice but also grit. She sounds both fragile and fierce like someone learning to stand in their truth. The music blends soul, rock and a hint of funk, proving she’s not afraid to evolve. You can hear the struggle. But more than that, you can feel it.

Listeners flooded the comments with messages like, “This song speaks for me,” or “I’ve never heard her this real.” Many said the preview gave them chills or helped them feel less alone. That kind of connection doesn’t come from perfect notes. It comes from honesty. Courtney’s not just writing songs anymore; she’s writing stories people live through.
The story takes a harder turn in Die And Stay Pretty, released in June 2025. If Monsters is the breakdown, this is the fight back. There’s still sadness, but now it’s sharpened into power. Courtney isn’t asking to be understood; she’s daring to be heard. The two songs feel like chapters from the same diary.
Die And Stay Pretty
In Die And Stay Pretty, her voice cuts through like a blade: straightforward, bold, and unafraid. The production leans heavier into rock, but her soul never gets lost. The message? She’s still standing and she’s doing it her way. The pain is still there, but so is the growth.
What makes Courtney Hadwin unforgettable isn’t just her sound. It’s how she turns her wounds into music that moves people. If you haven’t already, follow her on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Because the next song might be the one that speaks your truth.
