Los Angeles, CA, USA, February 17, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- John Revitte's songs have been described as "raw emotion from the soul." His compositions are gradually but unquestionably making a mark on the music world and gaining a loyal audience in the process. The delicate interplay of Revitte's raw, uncut vocals and acoustic guitar playing extend through the genres of folk, rock, soul, and blues, and attacks each with an irrefutable level of passion and vulnerability. Although his musical influences can be traced back to Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Revitte notes of his own unique sound, "I don't try to emulate anybody - I can't."
Revitte is nothing short of prolific when it comes to songwriting and his work can be found all over the internet. Two of his most popular songs are "Hours Without Mercy" and "Heaven and Heroin," through which, according to a great number of peer critiques, many people find themselves relating to both the lyrics and the music.
His songs have made their way onto popular music platforms including sales on iTunes and much acclaim on Reverbnation where he is currently ranked at #8 in Folk/Los Angeles, #75 in Folk/National, and #99 in Folk/Global. Revitte's composition process is also quite notable; Revitte will read, see, or hear something as small as one word and the music is there for him almost instantaneously. He is also accustomed to producing several songs in one sitting and very rarely adjusts them after they have been recorded, stating, "I don't really like to edit how a song comes out. The music and lyrics come out the way they were supposed to come out. Putting my best into each song is my goal."
On Revitte's abilities, indie artist Central 7 Heartland Delta Blues comments that he has "a uniqueness that is not heard many places, if anywhere across the globe and that is what today's music listening world needs and needs badly. They need pure originality."
