In the modern folk music world, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Maria Lane is a must-watch artist. With a style that threads heartfelt, relatable lyrics into an intimate, emotionally charged fabric, Maria Lane has been winning over the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzy McAlpine and Avril Lavigne, she infuses her music with a genuine touch of honesty. Growing up in Orlando, Florida, Maria Lane’s musical journey began with a love for folk and pop music.
As she learned to play the piano, she ventured into composing her own original material and in 2021 she stepped out as a solo artist with her debut single, “strangers again.” The release of her debut record, maybe i’ll feel better, in 2022 marked a significant chapter in her musical story, followed by several singles and the EP 35 days last year.
Now she returns with her latest release, bringing us her brand new single titled “til april,” a stunning indie folk track brimming with delicate melodies and elegant vocals. The song covers themes of longing and anticipation, set in the context of a long-distance relationship. Starting off with the soft notes of an acoustic guitar as birds tweet in the distance, Maria’s enchanting vocals drift in to craft an intimate and heartwarming folk scene.
The gentle stretch of string textures ushers in the warmth of the deep bass notes as the arrangement expands and wraps around Maria’s beautiful voice. Injecting laid back rhythm with the pulse of kick drum, Maria’s vocals dance above the graceful instrumentation, carrying poignant lyricism that perfectly captures the relatable feelings of longing.
With the snap of the full drum kit, the song takes flight to deliver a dazzling sound that truly stops you in your tracks. Another display of Maria Lane’s delightful songwriting and spellbinding, “til april” is a magical music experience that sees her build on her sound that’s struck a chord with so many listeners around the world.
Commenting on the single, she shares, “In ’til April,’ I shared the journey of missing my partner during their months away. The concept revolves around their absence for my birthday in April. The song reflects on what unfolded during their time away and the eager anticipation of being reunited.”
