Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell, the sister duo from Georgia, better known as Larkin Poe, have come out swinging with their newest album, Bloom.

The first song on the album, “Mockingbird,” portrays hidden art. Singing about hiding behind covers or songs they feel detached from is a somewhat vulnerable piece. “Hidden within my palm, the one that’s just for me, but if you listen closely,” Larkin Poe tells us that they have more than what has already been presented to listeners, teasing the depth of this album.

Slowing things down with a soft, crunchy guitar pulling the song together, “Little Bit” is very charming. The lyrics are about being content and not reaching too far out of sight: “I want just a little bit, little dream, little plan, little rock and roll band.” The end of the song picks up on every aspect as the singers express the sense of joy they find in what they have.

“Easy Love Pt 1” and “Easy Love Pt 2” have two songs between them. This is no coincidence, considering that “Easy Love Pt 1” is more about capturing and falling in love than leading into “Easy Love Pt 2” after a couple of chapters. The love has grown and blossomed, yet it remains easy and exciting. Lovell’s voice reaches a new atmosphere in Pt 2, again symbolizing how much the love has stretched out.

Inviting the world to “make a fool out of me,” Lovell is, with excitement in her voice, making a statement to society—to people who have told her not to put her heart on her sleeve and live without being true to herself. If what they say is true, that it will be embarrassing and lead to a loss of success, then she is willing to take that chance.

All around, Bloom is an easy listen, with eleven solid songs creating the world Larkin Poe is showing us. Lyrically, there is a story in every song; however, there is not too much differentiation or experimentation on the production side of the album.
