Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.
Midnights - ‘Afterthoughts’ Midnights, the new project from longtime collaborators Nathan Ehrenfeld and Mat Baker, emerges from years of tension and reconnection with their debut album ‘Everything Will Be Alright’. Its lead single ‘Afterthoughts’ blends dreamlike electronica and emotive lyricism, channelling influences like M83 and Radiohead into a cinematic indie-pop soundscape that reflects on mental spirals, city nights, and the grounding search for clarity.
Logan Taylor - ‘Electric Heart’ Logan Taylor unveils her debut album ‘Light Me Up’, a twelve-track journey through vulnerability, resilience, and raw storytelling that blends Americana, indie-rock, folk, and pop into a lived-in sonic tapestry. Anchored by the anthemic lead single ‘Electric Heart’ and spanning from the grit of ‘White Wolf’ to the cinematic sweep of ‘Tequila Sunrise’ and ‘Dreams’, the record cements Taylor as a rising force unafraid to balance magnetic energy with emotional depth.
Jonny Amoral - ‘Sabotage’ Jonny Amoral unleashes his most explosive single yet with ‘Sabotage’, a Nu Metal/Hardcore anthem that channels the chaos of self-destruction through crushing riffs, relentless rhythms, and vocals that veer from whispers to screams. Rooted in the grit of his grunge and punk upbringing on Kangaroo Island, Amoral crafts a brutal yet cathartic track that stands alongside the likes of Bring Me The Horizon and Bad Omens while cementing his own fearless sonic identity.
Jill Baldassari - ‘Rewind’ Philadelphia’s Jill Baldassari makes her recording debut with ‘Growing Pains’, a 5-track EP led by the reflective single ‘Rewind’. Blending pop, indie-pop, and jazzy rock undertones, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter channels the highs and lows of early adulthood into soulful melodies and raw storytelling, establishing herself as a powerful new voice unafraid of honesty and vulnerability.
spendthenight - ‘She Keep Countin’ spendthenight returns with ‘She Keep Countin’, a smoked-out collaboration with Rockie Fresh that leans into late-night elegance with hazy loops, understated beats, and a hook that feels instantly familiar. More than a track about money, it’s a meditation on presence and appreciation, a smooth, composed anthem sitting in the lineage of Mac Miller, Logic, and early G-Eazy, but firmly stamped with spendthenight’s own quiet weight.
