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 have a great mix of dance-pop artists as well as more delicate indie wonders from some of the best upcoming indie and pop artists.

Amaroun – 'If This Is'

Amaroun’s debut album is due to release early next year. The latest addition to the 2017 release comes in the form of ‘If This Is’: a slow-burning, lo-fi ballad that speaks of defeat in love- a subject that Amaroun is no stranger to. Minimal instrumentation makes the song sound so effective.




From White To Gray – When You Go

Charlie Gray’s solo project ‘From White To Gray’ debut single portrays a harsh break-up in form of honest indie-pop charm. The visuals for his debut play on imagination and expectations, his plain living room suggests household furniture as show lights. The video places you inside Charlie’s headspace and living space.




Draper – Want You More

The upcoming and thrilling electronic artist collaborated in this well-received soul-pop collaboration with artist Sam Sure. The joyous combination spawns an upbeat genre crossover mesh that’s incredibly fruitful. Receiving a spot on one weeks of New Music Friday UK playlist, Draper is making movements with his latest efforts.




FRÖST – Crackling On The Wire

Inspired by the German poem The Erlking, Fröst’s debut single ‘Crackling On The Wire’ tells a ghostly and dreamy tale partly in French and partly in English. Crackling on the Wire brings together the duo’s influences of the cold and icy Nordic landscapes, minimal synths lines, motorik beats and psychedelic vocals. Johanna evokes haunting and vocals like Warpaint combined with evolving and vivid synth soundscapes.




Black Saint – Could You Love Me?

Black Saint have pendulously been biding their time, honing their craft and readying themselves for their debut release ‘Could You Love Me’ which embodies an inventive fusion of house, R&B, trap and hip-hop. The slick cinematic video for the single captures the band’s energy and features a broad range of authentic travellers from the community.
