Maria Lane's mission goes beyond creating music—she strives to be a source of comfort for her listeners, guiding them through their own struggles. Her heartfelt songs serve as a reminder that no one is ever truly alone in their journey.

Maria Lane's ethereal vocals and poignant lyricism invite listeners into an emotional journey through the human experience. Songs like "what were our vows for?" and "merry go round (carousel)" confront the raw pain of infidelity and heartbreak, while later tracks like "when will i stop crying" and "my past" offer a deeper introspection, delving into her personal emotional struggles. Lane masterfully weaves these themes throughout the album, creating an intimate reflection on love, loss, and self-discovery.

"I wanted to create an album that was both vulnerable and empowering, ‘Black and Blue’ delves into the trauma and emotional bruises left by life, both from others and internally, and how someone's past can influence their journey. The ocean imagery throughout the lyrics inspired me to choose the cover art, symbolizing the ebb and flow of emotions."
