Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.
James Laurent - ‘Polarity’ James Laurent has now shared ‘Laugh at the Tragedy’, his eight-track indie-electric rock album led by the single ‘Polarity’. Written amid personal collapse after years behind the scenes as a top-tier engineer, the record captures the moment he chose to laugh instead of break as everything fell apart.
MirrorMouth - ‘Honest Emancipation’ MirrorMouth has shared new single ‘Honest Emancipation’, a calm yet quietly confrontational single that uses restrained pop and alternative textures to question institutionalised injustice, selective equality, and ideological double standards. Written through long-form reflection, the track invites thoughtful consideration rather than provocation, asking listeners to sit with uncomfortable truths rather than react to them.
VÆB - ‘Þetta reddast’ Icelandic pop duo VÆB return with ‘Þetta Reddast’, a bright, infectious anthem from their debut album ‘VÆBOUT’ that turns the phrase “it will all work out” into a feel-good manifesto built on playful electronics, rap-pop switches and pure joy. Blending Gen Z humour, internet culture and high-energy party pop, the silver-clad brothers create a technicolour world where fun, optimism and not taking life too seriously come first.
Red Mercury - ‘People Are To Love’ Red Mercury return with ‘People are to Love’, a cinematic EDM single that fuses modular-driven techno and progressive house with emotive storytelling and striking vocal hooks. Featuring vocals from Gargoyle Girlfriend, the track channels the disorientation and exhilaration of arriving in a new city, translating shared experiences of relocation into a dark, festival-ready electronic soundscape.
EMERG - ‘Star Song’ EMERG unveil ‘Star Song’, a reflective yet hopeful new single that captures the band at a pivotal moment where ambition outweighs fear, balancing big dreams with the work required to achieve them. Shaped through live jams and experimentation, the track reflects the young Canadian alt-rock quartet’s belief in forward motion, optimism and reaching beyond uncertainty.
