Shopify Looping Over JSON Metafield Arrays-CodePudding

For some reason, I can't access an array within a JSON metafield.. I've tried the other StackOverflow answers, and I'm using value, etc. but just can't figure it out, here's my metafield:

product.metafields.artist.releases

with a value of:

{
  "releases": [
   { 
    "id": 0,
    "releaseName": "lofi 1",
    "coverArt": "",
    "releaseLink": “”
},
 { 
"id": 1,
    "releaseName": " lofi 2",
    "coverArt": "",
    "releaseLink": “”
  }
]}

(which formats to: "{\"releases\":[{\"id\":0,\"releaseName\":\"lofi 1\",\"coverArt\":\"\",\"releaseLink\":“”},{\"id\":1,\"releaseName\":\"lofi 2\",\"coverArt\":\"google.com\",\"releaseLink\":“”}]}")

and I'm using this in the product.custom.liquid:

{{ product.metafields.artist.releases.value }}
  
{% assign releases = product.metafields.artist.releases.value %}
  
  {% for release in releases.releases %}
  
    {{ release.releaseName }}
  
  {% endfor %}

the first one shows up fine, and if I assign it and do {{ releases }} it shows up fine as well so I know the assignment is working, but I can't forloop over it (mind you that the first object in the JSON is also called releases (I've also tried renaming it all to unique names just in case and that didn't help))

Liquid is not going to work on JSON like this. If you want to iterate through an array of JSON objects, use Javascript.
