Another Phase

Maria Mena

A starkly intimate debut of acoustic pop and diary-honest lyrics. Sparse, vulnerable, and recorded with a closeness that feels like a shared secret.

April 22, 2002 · Columbia

Find on Amazon

A heavy, rain-soaked introspection that finds beauty in the most uncomfortable parts of growing up.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarringly honest admission of eating to fill a hole during the hidden track transition
The way the acoustic strumming in Crowded Train mimics the rhythmic swaying of a rail car
The fragile vocal crack in Blame It on Me when the lyrics turn toward regret
