It is a privilege to welcome Lark to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Lark is a fearless and dynamic indie-pop artist from Australia whose unmistakable style is influenced by the icons of her upbringing. Growing up, the boldness of 1984 Madonna, the glamour and attitude of KISS, and the infectious melodies of Swedish pop created a musical foundation that continues to shape her artistic expression today. With a rich background in the live music touring circuit, she has honed her craft on stages worldwide, opening for iconic artists including BB King, Johnny Johnson, and Men at Work.
In 2023, Lark started working with Australian Independent Producer of the Year, Jono Fernandez (Sia, Morgan Page). Together, they released her first single, “Unicorn,” an upbeat and quirky indie pop song brimming with positivity and tuneful hooks. For Lark, the single marks her musical rebirth and is dedicated to her besties. “Unicorn” quickly became a favorite for radio stations around Australia and Europe, where it went to number one on the Euro Indie Music Chart.
Following the release of “Unicorn,” Lark released a handful of other singles, including the dance floor no-brainer “I’m With You” and the optimistic indie-pop track “Good Good Energy.” Both singles quickly shot to #1 on both the World Indie Music Charts and the Euro Indie Music Chart, with the latter maintaining a solid position on both charts for over 5 months! Written for her daughter, “I’m With You” is about unconditional love and acceptance and features a wicked beat and catchy pre-chorus. “Good Good Energy” is inspired by her move away from the big smoke and showcases her reconnection with nature.
Her single, “All I Want Is You,” saw Lark stepping into the dance side of indie. With a killer bass drop, infectious groove, and cheeky lyrics, this song is a road trip must-have and another dance floor banger. “The song is about missing someone so much and that sense of urgency to finally be together,” Lark explains. “I may or may not have envisioned myself being in the Fast and the Furious while I was writing this song.”
Unapologetically herself, Lark has embraced her journey of self-discovery and love while merging it with upbeat pop music. On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Lark shared her origin story, sharing the stage with the late BB King and Johnnie Johnson, and spoke about the stories behind some of her songs.
