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 singles and videos from some of the best upcoming artists in indie rock, house and electro-pop.

Megan Dixon Hood – Alias Grace

Creating wonderful ethereal nu-folk Megan Dixon Hood returns with new single ‘Alias Grace’, inspired by the similarly titled book looks into the perspective of Grace. Suggesting the idea that she did not commit the crime, yet the rumours spread quickly and she is aware that she is seen as the 'beast' despite her beauty and mild manners.



Gus Harrower – Cell Dilution

Scottish singer-songwriter Gus Harrower re-emerges with ‘Cell Dilution’ a track that styles wondrous musicality and touching lyrics. What begins as a minor-key piano ballad carried by Harrower’s soulful vocals and sparse synthesizer swells suddenly explodes into life as cathartic guitars and emphatic drums enter the frame. Tune in now.



July Jones – Bad Influence

London based Alt Pop artist July Jones announces her brand new single ‘Bad Influence’. Somewhat of a departure in sound, we see the young singer/songwriter trade soaring vocals and big choruses for a more measured and stripped back approach to production and instrumentation.



Pablo Nouvelle – Wired (Feat. Lulu James)

Comprised of lush house beats and tasteful vocals, ‘Wired’ from Pablo Nouvelle’s forthcoming album demands your attention. Bringing together gentle atmospheres to support Lulu James’ soulful vocals, “Wired” is one of the reasons why his new album is so highly anticipated amongst his fans.



Champyons – Maria-Luiza

A new provocative piece is unveiled by New York-Berlin trio Champyons - "Maria-Luiza" is taken from the debut album Cha Cha Cha, due March 16th 2018, via Embassy of Music. The single is accompanied by a Super 8 short film, which, like the lyrics themselves, is composed of fragmented thoughts and words, visualising the theme of a first encounter. Groove ridden and tastefully experimental – it’s an infectious gem to wrap your ears around.
