Larkin, Dani - Next Of Kin (Blue) LP

The album, co-produced with Ruth O'Mahony Brady (Sam Smith, Feist, Gorillaz, The Frames), is an ambitious and deeply emotive body of work. A sonic and lyrical exploration of life's most universal milestones - from the innocence of birth to the acceptance of life's end. Anchored by Larkin's striking vocals, the album moves through a trilogy-like structure: Part I journeys from darkness to coming-of-age revelations, including the spirited track 'David'. Part II dives into adulthood's complexity - love, fear, beauty, courage, doubt, hope - with expansive orchestral arrangements and delicate storytelling. Part III closes in a place of resolution and homecoming, culminating in the poignant farewell, 'Danny Boy'.
