The Musical World of Maria Lane
If you are not yet really super familiar with the sounds of Maria Lane, then let us be among the first to introduce you to her musical stylings as she recently dropped a new single called "merry go round(carousel)" which is a track that delves pretty deep into the inner workings of a scenario plenty of us know a lot about.
Lane does an incredible job of displaying her thoughts throughout the single and it certainly feels like something that came from a real place.
"Merry go round (carousel) is about being trapped in a cycle of endless arguments with a partner, feeling like you’re just going around in circles. I wrote it during a particularly tough time and wasn’t sure if it would ever see the light of day due to my lack of confidence in it. However, when I brought it to my producer Justin, he immediately saw its potential and transformed it into a dynamic indie rock track. The swirling guitar riffs, and pulsating rhythm perfectly capture the dizzying emotions of the song, making it one of my proudest creations." - Maria Lane
The rhythm of the track itself has a bit of intensity and gives the song a bit of edginess and its underbelly but it's that lyrical content that grabs you because she's so truthful.
You can hear and feel the pain or frustration behind the song at certain times and this makes it so genuine that you can't help but get attached.
This song does have a bit of a rock foundation but ventures into a more drifting sound and tone.
The single is a gorgeous one with such elegant and poised presentation and execution by all parts but especially the vocals.
The way she sings feels unadulterated and all in all, she's telling you a story.
A wondrous and deepening single from Maria Lane, "merry go round(carousel)" is a song not to be missed.
Have a good listen to this song and keep your eyes open as the artist has already given word of a tentative album release coming sometime this year.
