A raw, live cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” has gone viral, inspiring fans to hail her as the next queen of rock and roll. At the same time, she is gearing up for her first full‑length album, proving her career is only getting louder.
A Viral Cover That Rewrites a Classic
Hadwin posted a stripped‑down performance of ‘Sweet Child Of Mine’.” Armed with nothing more than a microphone and rock‑solid attitude, she tore through the Guns N’ Roses anthem with growling lows and piercing high notes.

Within hours, clips of the rendition racked up shares across every major social platform. Fans praised her “insanely breathtaking” delivery and declared that she dominated every second of the song. Many crowned her the voice of a new rock generation.
The reaction is no surprise to longtime viewers. Ever since her 2018 television debut, Hadwin has wielded a raspy soul‑rock voice that belies her age. By the final chorus of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” that voice delivered a masterclass in raw power, making the classic track feel freshly dangerous and entirely her own.
New Single “Die And Stay Pretty” and Debut Album on the Horizon
The viral buzz arrives just as Hadwin releases her newest single, “Die And Stay Pretty,” available now on streaming platforms. The track mixes husky blues tones with soaring high notes, telling the story of someone racing through a clichéd rock‑and‑roll lifestyle.
References to legends like The Velvet Underground and Echo & The Bunnymen show Hadwin’s deep love for rock history, while her unapologetic lyrics prove she plans to write her own chapter.
“Die And Stay Pretty” sets the stage for her debut album, “LITTLE MISS JAGGED,” which drops on September 12. Early singles reveal her range: the funk charged “D.N.A.,” the neo‑soul ballad “You Only Love Me When I Lie,” and the pop‑punk bounce of “Spellbound.” The fifteen‑track project promises even more surprises, all built around the full‑throttle voice that first put her on the map.
Hadwin’s live schedule is filling fast. After a raucous first London headline show at the Fiddler’s Elbow, she heads to Festival Vila Lousada in Portugal, followed by a run of UK dates later this year. Tickets are already moving quickly, fueled by the viral cover that reminded everyone why her talent cannot be boxed in.
