From the powerful vocals of Laura Williams and Carly Ann Taylor to the soul-stirring music of Bruna Olmeda, this month’s Indie Artist Spotlight is packed with fresh talent. Tierra Vacía brings a bold rock sound, while NaomiFaith Rose shares her heartfelt faith through song. 
 
Whether you love worship, Christian rock, or inspiring ballads, these five artists are the ones to watch. Check them out, and when you do, tell them you heard about them from NewReleaseToday.
 
Laura Williams
 
Laura Williams is an up-and-coming Christian music artist from Pennsylvania. With a powerful, soulful voice, she is easily recognizable by her big curls and infectious smile. Her music reflects Jesus in a fresh, authentic, and relevant way.
 
Her debut single, “Who Jesus Is,” was a strong and powerful piano-based ballad. Her latest release, “Hurts Right Now,” is a profoundly emotional, vulnerable, honest, and encouraging song. She has undoubtedly earned a spot on my playlist, and I will closely follow her journey.
 

Carly Ann Taylor
 
Carly Ann Taylor is a passionate vocalist, songwriter, and worship leader from San Diego, California. Not only does she possess strong vocals, but she also showcases an impressive range, effortlessly delivering both powerful anthems and soft, heartfelt ballads.

Her debut EP, Changing My Story, chronicles her journey from brokenness and abandonment to healing, hope, and ultimate salvation in Jesus Christ. With over 11K followers on Instagram, she is well on her way to becoming a recognized name in the Christian music industry. I can’t wait to hear more from her.
 

Tierra Vacía
 
With a sound reminiscent of early (hard rock band) Skillet and the Finnish band HB, Tierra Vacía is an emerging Christian metal band from Nashville, Tennessee. Formed in 2022, they have successfully navigated the typical challenges of a young band. Their sound is authentic and refreshing. It fills the void for fans who love classic Christian metal. I’m digging these guys and expect many great songs from them in the future.
 

Bruna Olmeda
 
Bruna Olmeda’s deep, soulful voice brings a gospel-like feel to her music. Hailing from central Florida, she sings in Spanish, adding to her broad appeal. Having overcome depression and addiction, Bruna is a testament to the healing power of Jesus' love. With 126K Instagram followers, she is no longer a well-kept secret. I encourage you to check out her music and follow her journey—you won’t be disappointed.
 

NaomiFaith Rose
 
NaomiFaith Rose is a Christian artist passionate about sharing her faith and biblical truths. Growing up in a military household, she learned to adapt to and overcome that lifestyle's frequent moves and challenges. Because of her experiences, Naomi Faith sees sharing the love of Jesus as her life’s mission. She is quickly gaining recognition, with over 8K followers on Facebook and nearly 3K monthly streams on Spotify. 
I look forward to hearing more from this emerging artist.
