Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.
House Of Strangers - ‘Asking Me Why’ Sydney trio House of Strangers unveil ‘Asking Me Why’, a hauntingly introspective indie-alt single exploring the tension between holding on and letting go. Blending alt-pop, indie rock, and electronica, the track captures the band’s signature emotional depth; a poignant meditation on impermanence, acceptance, and the courage it takes to face both.
Bernell Jones II - ‘Love Sings’ New York-based saxophonist and composer Bernell Jones II returns with ‘Love Sings’, a lush blend of R&B, soul, and alternative jazz featuring Barry Antoine and NORY. Marking his first release since 2024’s ‘TYPEWRITER’, the single pairs smooth instrumentation with sharp storytelling; a poetic reflection on one-sided love that bridges vintage jazz sensibilities with modern emotional depth.
Frankie 5Ø3 - ‘P0C0 A P0C0’ Virginia-born, Salvadoran artist Frankie 5Ø3 returns with ‘P0C0 A P0C0’, a bilingual, sun-soaked single that blends English and Spanish to explore love, loss, and nostalgia. Built on bright guitar, synth, and bass, the track contrasts its upbeat sound with bittersweet lyricism, a warm reflection on missing someone once thought to be “the one,” accompanied by a vibrant Majorca-shot music video that captures its summery, reflective spirit.
Sharon Katta - ‘Death said, Breathe’ London-based artist, songwriter, and producer Sharon Katta unveils ‘Death said, Breathe’, a five-track cinematic exploration of mortality, despair, and rebirth inspired by a life-changing phone call with his sister. Anchored by its sweeping seven-minute title-track, the project fuses orchestral textures, world instruments, and field recordings into a haunting yet redemptive journey from hopelessness to healing.
Rena Angel - ‘Beauty When I Bleed’ Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter Rena Angel unveils her haunting new single ‘Beauty When I Bleed’, a cinematic alt-pop confessional that blurs the lines between beauty and pain. Inspired by the lyric “He likes his love a little tragic,” the track swells with hazy synths, heartbeat percussion, and Rena’s ethereal vocals; capturing vulnerability, strength, and quiet devastation in a soundscape both intimate and unforgettable.
