“With 10 atmospheric and poetic tunes, Larkk‘s music could be described as both meditative and curative.” The Vancouver Sun
“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

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.

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.
