“Janileigh is a star in the old fashioned sense of the word. It’s in her blood. No one made her who she is, her soulful melancholy is entirely home grown and her beauty entirely her own. She comes straight from her heart and stole mine as soon as I heard her sing. She evokes Janis Ian sometimes or maybe even Joni Mitchell but she is born of her own inspiration and I cannot wait to see where she takes her vision.”

“She lets her music do the talking in an age too-often preoccupied by image – and she stands out. With a voice which enters the heights of emotion and unwraps it for all to hear her level of perspective is stunning. It actually feels like a privilege to listen in – an unabashed reflection of emotion in an often impersonal world”

- Louder Than War -

“Personable and whimsical with an endearing vocal to match, Janileigh Cohen sits firmly in the nu-folk sphere. Although tender in years, Cohen has a unique gift for storytelling which she uses to delineate the disillusionment, confusion, and joy of life”

“ 'Sister' is Janileigh's newest track, and one of those cases of love at first hearing. Emotional, solid, lyrical and melodic, this is a rare case of a perfect song. In Sister she sings about her familiar connections in an intense and raw emotional way. Just like in previous songs, her vocals, flawless and apparently effortless, are the focus of everything. And we feel grateful she does not shy away from showing it”

- Where the Music Meets -

“You know when you hear a track (Sister) that is so apparently simple and beautiful you have to stop everything and listen to it ten times in a row”
