"Josee is like the female version of Jack Johnson!" - 94.7 FM Montreal Hits "DAY BY DAY - CD REVIEW" A new voice has burst on the North Country music scene: Canadian born transplant Josee Allard. Josee is a singer/ songwriter and a good one. With family roots in Quebec, via British Columbia, Ms. Allard mixes a west coast attitude with a hint of a French accent and lots of bubbly notes and crafty lyrics. She’s not a folk singer, in the classic sense of the word, and her newly released CD (this is her third) mixes pop hooks and grooves with discreet Jazz meanderings. Her voice is well up to the task of delivering the songs confidently and joyously. Backing music by producer Pascal Dufour embellishes the entire recording and Elizabeth Blouin Brathwaite helps out on percussions and vocals on last song, Day by Day. -No Depression, New York "JOSEE SEDUCES HER AUDIENCE WITH ROMANTIC FOLK SONGS!"... Upon getting on stage, the sweet singer songwriter seduces her audience with romantic folk songs. She is also energetic, has gusto and expresses it well with the songs from her latest EP "Day by day". When we listen to her voice we hear influences from greats such as Jewel, Sara McLachlan and Amanda Marshall. For one of her original compositions Josee invites her good friend Elizabeth Blouin-Brathwaite, daughter of the famous television music show host Normand Brathwaite, to come sing with her. This is followed by a cover of "Steal my Kisses" from Ben Harper, which she keeps similar to the original version and she is having a crazy amount of fun! Another interesting fact, her EP was produced by Pascal Dufour, past member of The Respectables. -Serge Lariviere - Alternative Rock Press, Montreal "WITH HER FOLK SONGS AND EXCEPTIONAL VOICE SHE WON THE HEART OF THE AUDIENCE!"...
