This weeks Top 5 emerging and self-releasing artists

Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.

This week we have videos and singles from some of the best upcoming artists in electro-pop and hip-hop.


ORIION – Live Another Lie

ORIION presents a reflective approach to music, embedded not only in a vision of writing music, but drawing it. ORIION’s ‘nostalgia pop’ is informed by international wanderlust, the artist’s nomadic reality evident in his music; much of his adult life was spent between LA, NY and home. ‘Live Another Lie’ opens with steel drum sounds and thumping beats the track transcends into dance-pop utopia, heavy with the finest of pop hooks, awaiting sunset dancefloors.



NINA – Counting Stars

NINA’s newest single ‘Counting Stars’ is a dreamy, ‘80s-tinged mid-tempo love song and helped crafted by the Swedish synthwave producer Oscillian. The song delves into a story of a couple lost in love and leaving it all behind. This marks as a B-side of the upcoming ‘One Of Us’ due to release August 11th.




Three Laws – Siren Song

With a blend of dark-pop, cinematic orchestration and brooding percussion, Three Laws’ ‘Siren Song’ takes the listener on a powerful, dark and rousing journey. "The Sirens in Greek mythology lure sailors to shipwreck; in the song there is a suggestion the pull of this turbulent, powerful kind of love, though seductive, leads to pain or even death". The director Calum Macdiarmid, picked up on the dark overtones of the song, inspiring his gripping narrative. 




PATCH – Tobacco

Known for his honest and conscious approach to hip hop, Patch announces a new EP project ‘Regard-Less’ with the release of lead track ‘Tobacco’. Free from any conceptual notions this time round, the north Londoner has delivered a free flowing collection of songs, exchanging typical song structures with emotions. 




Malory – Rapture

South London singer/songwriter and creative multicoloured pop artist Malory gears up for her debut EP ‘Dystopia’ with the release of lead single ‘Rapture’. The epic production comes courtesy of Danny George as the pair deliver 3 minutes of blissful alt/pop. The orchestral driven anthem ebbs and flows beautifully using layered vocals, tribal drums and folk elements.
