Larkin Poe Announce ‘Bloom’ and Release Lead Single “If God Is a Woman”

Larkin Poe, the GRAMMY® Award-winning duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, follow their “Duo/Group of the Year” triumph at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards earlier this week by announcing their eagerly awaited new album, Bloom, arriving January 24th, 2025, via their own Tricki-Woo Records. Pre-orders are available now.

Bloom, which follows last year’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Blood Harmony, is preceded by the release of the new single, “If God Is A Woman,” available everywhere now. The track melds lush sonic landscapes with lyrics that ground listeners in contemporary questions through the blues-soaked sounds of the Mississippi hill country.

Rebecca Lovell comments:

“Defying expectation requires great effort. But the cathartic joy of deeper self-discovery is worth the struggle. ‘If God Is A Woman’ was written as a reminder to resist the typecasting of women, both conscious and unconscious. There are many shades of existence and we had fun painting abstract with this sardonic blues.”

Bloom was first heralded earlier this summer with the genre-bending first single, “Bluephoria,” available now. Described as Rebecca as “a rock n’ roll rumination on the duality of the human experience, where suffering and joy intertwine to create meaning,” the track is accompanied by an official music video, filmed in The Blue Room at Nashville’s Third Man Records and streaming now on YouTube.

Presented earlier this week at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the prestigious Americana Honors & Awards “Duo/Group of the Year” victory marked the latest achievement in what is proving a landmark 2024 for Larkin Poe, 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 the dynamic sister duo 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 Tyler Bryant, 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 the contemplative “Mockingbird” and the gritty punk-energized 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.

Comments Rebecca:

“Bloom is about finding oneself amidst the noise of the world. About wholeheartedly embracing the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real.”

Megan adds:

“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.”
