Folk Pop from Maria Lane

Originally from Orlando in Florida, and now based in Brooklyn, singer-songwriter Maria Lane has been steadily making her mark on the indie folk music scene. With her ability to frame heartfelt, relatable lyrics in emotionally powerful compositions, Maria Lane has captured the attention of audiences far and wide.

Her music, inspired by the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzy McAlpine and Avril Lavigne, has endeared her to a growing fan base of listeners around the world. Her musical journey began in her hometown, where she first fell in love with folk and pop music. Learning to play the piano was a turning point for her, igniting her passion for composing original material.

This passion led to the release of her debut single “strangers again” in 2021, which marked her arrival on the scene as a solo artist. She followed this with her debut album maybe i’ll feel better in 2022, which fully confirmed her status as a rising star in the industry while over the past year, Lane has continued to expand her discography with several singles and the EP 35 days.

In March of this year, she released “til april,” which has been followed by a string of well-received tracks, all leading up to her highly anticipated upcoming album. Now, she brings us her latest release with the new single titled “lost,” a truly personal song that’s been a long time in the making.

Written two years ago during a period of significant conflict in her life, “lost” is a crucial part of her forthcoming record, adding to the journey that aligns with the album’s themes of identity, struggle and self-acceptance. Presenting an elegant folk pop sound, with “lost” she pours her own emotions into a delicate yet catchy piece that sees her charming vocals hover above the gentle tones of guitar and violin driven by the patter of soft percussion.

With the instrumentation adding to the overarching sorrowful context, her voice layers up while the intricate arrangement flows with hushed banjo plucks and the dance of violin lines. Once again delivering an emotionally-charged and memorable single, with “lost,” Maria Lane offers a stunning sound that continues to build the hype for her forthcoming album’s release.
