Larkin Poe’s ‘Mockingbird’ Soars with Soul and Depth

Review By Glen Parkes

Larkin Poe, the Grammy-winning sister duo of Rebecca and Megan Lovell, have unveiled their reflective new single, “Mockingbird,” which leads off their upcoming album Bloom, due out on January 24, 2025, via their label Tricki-Woo Records. With Rebecca’s powerful vocals and Megan’s haunting slide guitar, “Mockingbird” takes listeners on a journey through introspection and growth.

Rebecca describes the track as “a tender reflection on the perpetual journey of becoming.” This theme is echoed in the delicate instrumental arrangement, blending blues roots with a modern folk edge. Megan’s soulful slide guitar enhances the song’s contemplative tone, providing a melancholy, almost meditative atmosphere. The lyrics explore the idea of life’s inevitable missteps and the value of learning from them, urging listeners to find meaning in even the toughest of life’s detours.

The release of “Mockingbird” is perfectly timed as the duo announces their UK and EU tour, promising fans the chance to hear this powerful new material live. As the opening track on Bloom, “Mockingbird” suggests an album rich in personal exploration and musical evolution — a promising start that teases what could be one of Larkin Poe’s most introspective projects yet. if you can get to see them then do i watched the ladies at this years maid of stone fest and they blew me away
