Maria Lane
Maria Lane has just dropped the Black and Blue Deluxe: Deeper Shades album which includes several new singles and spans 23 tracks.
The first single "Safekeeping" displays a wonderful set of tones that come through with warmth and honesty; some of the staples you'll hear on the album.
“Safekeeping” is a tender plea in the aftermath of heartbreak—a song about craving a love that doesn’t leave bruises. It captures the vulnerable moment when you're fresh out of a breakup, handing your heart to someone new and quietly begging, “please keep me safe.” It reflects on how people promise protection, say they’ll never hurt you—but often do—leaving you yearning for a love that truly means it." explains Maria of her single.
Maria Lane has had music as her safe space since she was just a young child as she recalls sitting in front of a piano making up songs and putting on pretend concerts for herself.
As she got older, music became more and more a part of who she was. It became a way for her to settle her emotions and she learned to use to emotions to tell a story.
It wasn't long before Maria started writing songs and sharing them on Soundcloud. The feeling of taking something cathartic, that meant so much to her, and releasing it into the world felt liberating.
Releasing her first single "strangers again" was a pivotal moment for her as an artist and she hasn't stopped since.
Releasing 7 singles and 2 EP's since then, Maria has found her footing with songwriting, recording, and being able to express herself through her music.
"Since 2021, I've discovered so much about myself as a singer/songwriter and artist. My confidence in both my writing and vocal abilities has grown significantly. I’m now more willing to take risks and less concerned with external opinions. I've started writing heavier, more narrative-driven songs. Early on, I struggled to finish songs, but now, having written over a hundred, the process feels much smoother thanks to consistent practice. My sound has also evolved, showcasing my vocal versatility. Performing live for the first-time last year and being featured on The Fader were major milestones. These experiences reinforced that I’m on the right path and that my music resonates with people," says Maria of how she has evolved as an artist.
"Safekeeping" serves as a testament to where she is at with her sound right now and the full Black and Blue Deluxe: Deeper Shades album is available everywhere.
