Larkin Poe – the GRAMMY® Award-winning duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell – are kicking off the new year with their latest single, Easy Love Pt. 1, available now via their own Tricki-Woo Records alongside the single’s official music video. The track heralds Larkin Poe’s upcoming new album, Bloom, arriving Friday, 24th January.

“Easy Love Pt. 1 is, hands down, the truest and most detailed love song I’ve ever written,” says Rebecca Lovell. “As referenced in the lyrics: there is in fact an Eiffel Tower recreation in Paris, TX. And yes, it does have a little cowboy hat on top. We can’t wait to perform this song live, the instrumental interlude creates a trippy little 70’s rock ’n’ roll moment that we can’t wait to jam out.”
The duo will mark this week’s arrival of Bloom with an eagerly awaited late-night TV performance of Easy Love Pt. 1 on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Bloom – which follows 2023’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Blood Harmony – was first unveiled this fall following Larkin Poe’s Duo/Group Of The Year triumph at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards. The album includes such recently released singles as the passionately mindful Little Bit, the contemplative opening track, Mockingbird, the lush, blues-soaked If God Is A Woman, and the genre-bending Bluephoria, all accompanied by official music videos streaming now at YouTube.
Presented by the Americana Music Association at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, Larkin Poe’s prestigious Duo/Group of the Year victory marked the latest achievement in what is proving a landmark 2024 for the dynamic sister duo, beginning earlier this year with their first career GRAMMY® Award, winning Best Contemporary Blues Album for 2023’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Blood Harmony. Bloom now sees Larkin Poe venturing further along on their evolving musical journey with a collection of songs that resonate with introspection, authenticity, and a profound connection to their roots in American music. Produced and largely co-written by Megan, Rebecca, and Rebecca’s husband Tyler Bryant (of Tyler Bryant And The Shakedown), the album marks a significant evolution for Larkin Poe, reflecting a synergy that extends beyond mere musical partnership.

Already hailed for the sincerity of their songcraft, the Lovell sisters now place an even greater spotlight on their gift for storytelling, delving deep into personal narratives with universal themes of self-acceptance and individuality against a backdrop of contemporary blues and rock influences. With their distinctive blend of poetic lyricism, masterful instrumentation, and soulful harmonies, songs like Little Bit and the gritty punk-energised anthem Pearls affirm their willingness to confront current realities while staying true to their musical heritage. A triumphant celebration of the authentic self, Bloom fully cements Larkin Poe’s status as modern torchbearers of American roots music, inviting their ever-growing fan following to flourish and thrive alongside them.

Bloom is about finding oneself amidst the noise of the world,” says Rebecca, “about wholeheartedly embracing the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real. In one way or another, pretty much all of the songs on this album are about finding yourself, knowing yourself, and separating the truth of who you are from societal expectations.”
