"what they are saying"

What’s Been Said“Hardly any artist can tell real stories anymore. You know the kind I’m talking about, those that have you awaiting every word, every intonation. Arlette’s songs contain immediacy, warmth, and an echo of personal sentiment unfolding before you.” Brent Pomeroy – Saskatchewan Original Music Association Magazine “Her words and music just grab hold of you and move you. She has this amazing capacity to sing of joy and sadness and life’s struggles in a way that reaches right into you without pretensions.” Don Kossic – CFCR 90.5 FM Radio “Tribe of One is a release to be proud of. The way Arlette ‘sings a story’ is refreshing. Her voice is clear, the lyrics are not about the same old stories – they’re real, moving and at times even funny.” Bryan Taylor – M.
