Danielle McTaggart is an artist in transformation. Best known as the powerhouse voice behind the JUNO Award-winning duo Dear Rouge, she has spent years captivating audiences with electrifying performances and chart-topping hits. Now, Danielle McTaggart has stepped forward as Larkk — a transformation that embraces intimacy and introspection, trading the high-energy pulse of indie rock for raw, poetic vulnerability.
After the debut single “Caverns” and the most recent offering “First Kiss”, McTaggart is preparing to announce the February 13, 2026 arrival of Larkk’s debut album Cinders alongside the release of new single “Devastation’s Bliss”. An emotional breaking point on Larkk’s journey, “Devastation’s Bliss” explores suffering, healing, and the treasures found in grief. With ambient textures and swelling orchestral moments, it’s a raw, intimate meditation on pain as transformation. Think Patrick Watson meets Agnes Obel in a moment of spiritual surrender.

For Larkk, this music exists in the space between the past and the future - an evolution of both sound and spirit. It’s more than a new chapter; it’s the creation of an entirely new language of storytelling. Larkk weaves together music, movement, painting, poetry, and expansive artistic expression — each element intertwining to capture the beauty and ache of being human. It’s a deeply immersive world where emotion drives form, and vulnerability becomes a powerful source of connection.
