About Me

JF Robitaille's solo EP is in stores now.
"People should really stop complaining about the state of music and pick up the debut EP from this Montreal-born, NYC-based singer-songwriter."
- 4/5 STARS HOUR MAGAZINE (MONTREAL)
"The EP is a six-song collection of breezy, invigorating musical enlightenment, and each track is like downing an ice-cold glass of lemonade that immediately evokes a short, but sweet, state of pastoral daydreaming."
- 4/5 STARS SEE MAGAZINE (EDMONTON)
"A brilliant songwriter."
-CBC RADIO 3
"Both the pristine pop tunes and slow-bop ballads are clean and simple, and their light orchestration, pretty harmonies and pleasant melodies are contrasted by often dark, even depressed lyrics, a great device in the right hands, from Del Shannon to Morrissey to Robitaille."
-8/10 MONTREAL MIRROR
"Over fourteen minutes of near perfection .THE BLOOD IN MY BODY is one of the best records I have heard in a long time."
-QUITE LIGHT (CALGARY)
"Lyrically sincere and utterly charming. JF Robitaille could rise to be a Cohen for the new age; but with optimism, melody and a prettier voice."
-EXCLAIM MAGAZINE
"Audaciously catchy, lyrically loaded and penetrating, this elegiac set of songs are the sweet proof of an elegant marriage of poetry and refined folk."
-SIXEYES
"Crafting beautifully restrained, intelligent pop songs like those he's released on his long-awaited The Blood In My Body EP (out on New York label Rhythmbank Entertainment). Poetic but strikingly masculine."
- NOW MAGAZINE (Toronto)
"Folk at its finest!"
-I HEART MUSIC
"Exceeds all expectations for a new artist."
-SONGS ILLINOIS
"A great songwriter who sounds nothing like today, and more like yesterday and the future at the same time."
-EARFOOD
"Imagine docile singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, except with a book of Leonard Cohen poems in his hands, not a surfboard. Add a dash of indie-pop whimsy, and you have Montreal-born, Brooklyn-based Robitaille, a buzz artist for 2007."
