I’ve been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I’ve transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I’ve been looking and so far I haven’t found a viable alternative.
Band camp sends you updates about artists/producer you bought from. Feel like it’s borderline scam, but may be a way
I bet they’ve got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

That’s my suggestion. It has a special section for new music from the artists you follow. I also find their recommendations fantastic. Found so much new stuff on RYM
A lot of artists have mailers or feeds they maintain - it’s often easiest to just follow them directly.
