Courtney Hadwin is officially over the idea of being “perfect.” In an era where every photo is filtered and every look is curated, she decided to head into Decoy Studios to show us something real. Her live performance of “Different Kinda Pretty” is a loud response to anyone who thinks beauty has to follow a specific set of rules.
The atmosphere in the studio is heavy with character. You can see the effort in her performance and hear the genuine bite of the instruments. There are no polished edges here. Courtney moves with an energy that feels spontaneous and unbanned. The unique wood-block walls of the studio provide the perfect backdrop for a performance that celebrates the beauty of the “misfit.”
DIFFERENT KINDA PRETTY LIVE AT DECOY STUDIOS IS OUT NOW !!!!
The video serves as a major shift for Courtney. She is using her platform to reclaim a word that has felt restrictive for a long time. By embracing the “ugly” sweat and soul of a live rock session, she proves that the most interesting things about us are often the things that don’t fit in.
The story evolves as the instruments wind down. To truly understand what Courtney is saying, you have to look past the stage lights. Her official visualizer takes the same message and brings it into a much more personal space. It shifts the noise of the world to the thoughts we have when we are alone.
Courtney Hadwin – Different Kinda Pretty (Official Visualizer)
It’s easy to experience the transition from the physical power of her voice to the internal weight of her words. She talks about the “little cuts” and the struggle of seeing yourself clearly. Once you get the emotion of the song, you will be surprised to see how relatable every word really is.
Watching both videos back-to-back shows the full picture. Courtney Hadwin is showing us that being a “different kinda pretty” isn’t just a lyric. It’s the rule she lives by.
