Courtney Hadwin sounds utterly unstoppable on ‘Whatcha Gunna Do?!’, a fiery new single that throws blues, funk and hard-hitting rock into one gloriously swaggering package.
From its strutting bassline and groove-soaked guitar riffs to her enormous vocal performance, everything about the track feels designed to make an entrance. ‘Whatcha Gunna Do?!’ is a celebration of individuality, confidence and refusing to shrink yourself for anyone, with the artist at the helm effectively throwing down the gauntlet to those who underestimate her.
The Durham-born singer first became known internationally through America’s Got Talent in 2018, but her subsequent music has increasingly revealed an artist determined to build an identity beyond that breakthrough moment. Working with Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Kevin Bowe, Courtney Hadwin has embraced the blues, soul, funk and rock ‘n’ roll that first inspired her.
And those influences collide spectacularly here. Raw, playful and overflowing with attitude, ‘Whatcha Gunna Do?!’ grabs hold of you and refuses to let go.
