Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.
Shawn Tuck - ‘Been A Vibe’ Rising hip-hop artist Shawn Tuck returns with ‘Been A Vibe’, a slick R&B-tinged track that blends mellow confidence with heartfelt reflection. Layered with half-sung verses and lush production, the song marks a new chapter for the Twin Falls-based artist as he celebrates love, success, and the journey that got him there.
Olivier Cheuwa - ‘Special Love’ Cameroonian-born artist Olivier Cheuwa returns with ‘Lovely Day’, a soulful six-track EP blending Afrobeat, R&B, and uplifting lyricism. Featuring a vibrant rework of Bill Withers’ classic and standout original ‘Special Love’, the project celebrates joy, resilience, and Cheuwa’s evolution as a global voice in contemporary African music.
Paul Roland - ‘Tortured By The Daughter Of Fu Manchu’ Cult psych-rock artist Paul Roland reissues his fan-favourite album ‘Bates Motel’, led by the theatrical new single ‘Tortured by the Daughter of Fu Manchu’, a sly, riff-heavy ode to 60s British mod rock with a macabre twist. Long dubbed the “Godfather of Steampunk,” Roland once again blends gothic storytelling, baroque pop, and eccentric flair into a sound that remains uniquely his own.
Don’t Tell John - ‘I’m Done’ Bay Area blues-rockers Don’t Tell John return with ‘I’m Done’, a soul-soaked breakup anthem that transforms heartbreak into a bold declaration of freedom. Led by powerhouse vocalist Veronica Larkin and backed by a multi-generational family lineup, the track fuses gritty guitars, swaggering rhythms, and raw emotion into a cathartic, full-throttle standout.
Seekah Lytess - ‘Killin Eve’ Ipswich hip-hop artist Seekah Lytess unveils ‘Killin Eve’, a laid-back yet lyrically incisive new single and the first taste of his forthcoming EP. Known for his emotionally rich storytelling, Seekah blends vulnerability with swagger, delivering a cool and confident track that reaffirms his place as one of UK hip-hop’s most compelling voices.
