Single written and produced by D. Lawrence marks a career milestone for the singer
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A debut on any national chart is a moment artists chase for years, and for Courtney Elle, that moment has finally arrived. Her latest track, “Freedom,” has landed at #40 on Billboard’s Dance Chart, with momentum already building toward the top 25 on the Mediabase Chart.
Also worth a look: Ellen Hayes closes her album era with ‘Behind My Eyes,’ a testimony in song and Parrot Heads of Central Florida bring Trop Rock benefit back to Orlando for year three.
The song, penned and produced by D. Lawrence (@ajaliveincrecords) and issued through his Aja Live Inc label, marks Elle’s introduction to the Billboard charts. At its core, “Freedom” is an anthem about independence, human connection, and shaking off the weight of daily life.
Musically, the single pulls from pop, funk, disco, and R&B, giving Elle’s expressive voice a danceable foundation. Lyrically, it urges listeners to embrace the present, chase their own truth, and simply be who they are without apology.
The release arrives with a remix from Dave Audé, a name synonymous with dance music success—Audé holds the distinction of the most #1 tracks in Billboard Dance Club Songs chart history. That remix, along with an official music video, extends the song’s energy beyond the studio and onto screens and dance floors alike.
For the Wilmington, Delaware artist, this Billboard debut signals a fresh chapter, both for her solo career and her ongoing creative partnership with Lawrence, who also worked with Elle on the earlier single “Juke.” Fans can stream “Freedom” and its remixes across all major platforms.

Why it matters: A first Billboard entry is a pivotal validation for any artist, but doing so with a self-released track and an independent label shows the path to recognition isn’t limited to major labels. With Audé’s remix backing and a genre-blending sound, Elle’s debut suggests she’s built to sustain momentum, not just make a one-time splash.
