How can I get updates about when my favourite artists/bands release new music without needing Spotify? (lemmy.ca)

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.

7 Digital is a great site to buy music files legally. I use that mainly. Personally I would not buy 500 songs at once, but basically I buy my favs and slowly add songs I really like over time. Innertune is great in the meantime to listen to what you want to without paying a subscription
