“Robitaille evokes the dustbowl stylings of Patty Griffin or Gillian Welch in equal measure to the Lilith Fair poetry of Sarah McLachlan.”
“If you are a fan of Singer/Songwriters, this album is not to be missed.”
“This album [Flowers in the City] thoroughly showcases Elke’s versatility as a musician. Fun, uplifting, serious, sweet, and pensive, you will find a song to fit any given mood. A must listen for anyone looking for quality female singer/songwriters.”
“Beautiful imagery… Lyrically, great work painting pictures with words”
“Natural innocence and simplicity oozes from this Canadian native”
“This folk singer, originally from British Columbia, has a beautifully addicting voice that makes you want to hear more of her…”
“Vocals throughout the CD [Flowers in the City] were strong, passionate and delivered with confidence.”
"Elke Robitaille is a nuanced and subtle songwriter with a unique perspective; she's able to deliver her thoughts in enigmatic fashion without coming across as bizarre. A talented lyricist; her arrangements are fitting to both her subjects and voice."
“Elke has a rare quality in her voice that most artists lack. She projects so much emotion and sincerity when she sings it’s almost as if she enters the listener and enables them to feel what she feels.”
"...Elke Robitaille churns up folk music with the fire of a woman taking control of things. Her voice is Anne Wilson meets Amanda Kravat of mid 90's Mary Me Jane. The songs bridge the good and bad of life, cherishing good parts and casting off the bad..."
"There are a few musicians I can name that turn me on with good attitudes, hard and honest work ethics, and organic efforts at maintaining their independent careers. Elke Robitaille does those things for herself... and in turn sets a great example for other.
"Canadian born singer/songwriter Elke Robitaille is living the gypsy life this summer as she tours in her van."
"Elke's music is the kind of melodic and edgy stuff that changes hearts and affects lives in a deep and romantic way... Her spark is shining bright."
"She produces a rhythmic acoustic sound that features strong pop hooks and matches the quality of plaintive honesty one hears in her voice. She is tough, challenging, profane and confident.
