2023 was a huge year for music, so many amazing new songs and albums were released. It was really hard for us to pick our top 12 independent music releases of 2023. So many more could easily of been added to this list. But we did our best and selected some of the artists that stood out from the rest. Some of these artists launched their debut releases in 2023. All of them have stood out in a crowded music scene to have a breakthrough year.

Independent artists work very hard to be heard. It’s very important to give them the recognition they deserve.
