The rarity has only added to its mystique, strengthening Hadwin\u2019s cult-like following among rock purists and longtime AGT fans alike.<\/p>\n<p>For Hadwin, now 21, the viral flashbacks to her covers are both a blessing and a challenge.

After signing a major record deal as a teen, Hadwin found herself pushed into glossy pop writing sessions that didn\u2019t reflect her blues-and-rock roots. When the label folded, she faced an even steeper uphill climb. It wasn\u2019t until teaming up with veteran producer Kevin Bowe\u2014whose credits include work with Etta James and Joe Cocker\u2014that she began to rediscover her true sound. Together, they\u2019ve shaped her forthcoming debut album Little Miss Jagged, due September 15.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craft.cloud\/3747bbfe-07db-499d-aa3d-b239ba21c062\/assets\/images\/courtney-hadwin-image00006.jpg?width=1500&amp;fit=cover&amp;s=c2QYYa8Mv1cTyti5eAhErBBbhr3JVlpXFfJBXDiVpk8\" alt=\"Courtney hadwin image00006\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJagged\u2014rough around the edges, not perfect\u2014that\u2019s always been me,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019ve always said I\u2019m kind of like Marmite: you either love me or you hate me.
