BIO Larkly
Larkly is a singer-songwriter based in Germany. She is releasing her first four singles in 2024. Larkly has been singing for most of her life while working also as a filmmaker for documentaries. A few years ago she decided, it was time to publish her own music and finished up some songs she had been working on for years.
Larkly has been influenced by Jazz/Pop singers such as Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones and Katie Melua. That is why she feels most comfortable in the English language. Her songs are about her own experiences, growing self-confidence and empowerment. She chose to name herself after a lark because she thinks they have a lot in common. Larkly loves the morning hours to be creative and also she likes the idea of a tiny bird with a large voice.
New Single "Just Amy" and Music video
July 23rd 2011 is a day singer-songwriter Larkly will always remember. Not only was it her birthday, but it was also the day her biggest idol died: Amy Winehouse. „I always hoped for a happy ending for her. I was shocked when I heard, she had died,“ Larkly says. Larkly thought a lot about, what would have been, if Amy Winehouse had never gotten famous. If she had been just a singer who performed in Jazz clubs and not a superstar. That’s how she came to write the song „Just Amy.“ In the track Larkly’s voice sounds soft and fragile. The instrumentation reminds the listener of a classic Bond song, while always keeping it’s melancholic vibe.
The song is being released on July 19th and is followed by a music video on July 23th. The video by director Maja Leuschen portrays Larkly in a 60s setting. While she is singing, a storm starts and everything around her falls apart in slow motion, but she doesn’t seem to notice it at all.
