"Music runs through Jack Littman's veins. The 24-year-old Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist has been writing music since he was 13 and has never stopped. Littman has been hard at work on his current album, "The Remedy Vol 1." which was released Feb. 26. He describes it as a neo-soul revival album. Littman will make a short trek from his Los Angeles home through Arizona and New Mexico. The tour will end at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin. " - Albuquerque Journal
"Jack Littman's vocals don't seem to match his 21 year old face, but then again, the haunting grooves of the standout track "Sinking Ship" don't exactly fit with their birthplace of Los Angeles. With an offbeat blend of thumping rhythms, soulful lyrics, and distorted horns, Littman creates an immediately ear catching sound. All six tracks on "The Mixtape" tread the perfect balance between a sort of ominous darkness and an undeniable infectiousness. They are love songs without the sugar. Dance songs without the club lights. Sex songs without the innuendo. Every track has something unique going on..." - Bitchslap Magazine
