“Cinders is an intensely personal, piano-driven exercise in vulnerability. The instrument and the artist's voice are the foundational bedrock, as McTaggart casts aside the electrifying fringe- and sparkle-laden trappings of rock 'n' roll to transform before our very eyes and reintroduce herself without artifice.” Exclaim!, 2026 Most Anticipated Albums

Today, Larkk shares another new single from her upcoming debut album, Cinders, out February 13, 2026. Larkk is Danielle McTaggart (Dear Rouge) in a new form, born from her desire for deeper artistic exploration. Following recent singles “Devastation’ Bliss”, “Caverns”, and “First Kiss” and a sold out Vancouver performance in November, “Cuckoo” pulls you into a shadowy dreamworld—moody, mysterious, and awash in cinematic depth. It unfolds like a spiritual vision, rising into a beautiful storm of strings and orchestral colour. A bold step in McTaggart’s transformation, “Cuckoo” transcends genre to offer a sound that feelsotherworldly—haunting, poetic, and profoundly transportive.

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.
