The Pals talk to Robyn Ottolini

The Pals x Robyn Ottolini

Episode 143

Robyn Ottolini makes music that will either piss you off or make you fall in love with her. Maybe a little of both. Whether she’s cursing or calling out a cheating ex, if it needs saying, Robyn is the one to say it.  

Robyn stepped into 2023 with intention on the song 'Five Years'. A self reflective look at happiness and being ok without a five year plan. It's the kind of song that feels heavy and hopeful at the same time. It's a mix Robyn crafts well. 'Five Years' set the table for a huge artistic step in Robyn's career. The rest of 2023 sees a series of singles and an EP, as well as opening slots on the Shania Twain 'Queen Of Me' Tour and festival dates across Canada and the USA. This kind of business is good when the work truly means something.

CCMA Award-winning, platinum-selling country music sensation Robyn Ottolini is heading out on her first headline tour this fall. The “All My Friends Are Hot” tour, named after her latest single, will stop in 12 cities across the U.S. and Canada, starting November 2 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

For an artist who says it like she means it, the last word sounds best coming straight from her…  

"I think It’s easy to get lost in the world of accolades. It can make you forget about things that truly matter. I’m grateful for every single award or streaming record I get but if a song makes me feel, and makes other people feel, that’s 10x more important to me than how many streams it has. I’d rather be honest than rich or famous. I like myself too much to try to win people over by being something I’m not"
