“This is the record I’ve been wanting to make since I was 12,” says Nicole Atkins. “It has so many layers, it’s able to do whatever it wants without defining itself as one thing.”
It’s been a tumultuous three years since the release of Atkins’ acclaimed 2007 debut, Neptune City, but the wait has proved worth it. Mondo Amore is a courageous, provocative work, fraught with dramatic tension, sweeping emotions, and musical ambition. With Atkins’ remarkable voice commanding attention at the forefront, songs like “My Baby Don’t Lie” and the searing “This Is For Love” capture the raw ache and self-reflective disillusionment of a love gone bad. Daytrotter described Atkins’ recent session as “a pretty soundtrack to violent waters,” which the New Jersey-born singer/songwriter sees as a spot-on portrayal of the album itself.
Nicole, On YouTube there is a song you played called "Running in Place". Don't know if it's original or a cover, but either way, perhaps it could be a candidate for your next studio recording effort? It is hauntingly beautiful ...."sweet ever after....paper doll actor....turnin' the pages you'll never read....looking at pictures you'll never see....drifting away from lost liberty." Dave & Nora
Glad you had such a great tour. Catch you over here soonish, I hope. Please do Birmingham when you come. x
You are very welcome and huge value for touching our ears, hearts and minds.
What a cracking way to raise funds! I've passed details to another artist.
Love from the UK. x
Thanks for making our Memorial Day weekend in Columbus w/the Avetts. Worth staying up to watch you on Conan last night. My pledge put you over $2K, great to see so much additional support!
Proud to back you and the band, even if it is just a small contribution on my part! Great music, been playing Mondo Amore both on the iPod and on vinyl.
Congratulation Nicole, can't wait to hear you velvety smooth voice! Plague of Smiles.
Looks like we'll fall short of the $30K, but I'm hopeful we might see that covers EP anyway! :)
Keep making music from the core of your soul! New Jersey loves you!
Carol, Lindsey, & Kirsten O'Brien
Thank you for the great show at Cafe du Nord last night. I have been listening to "Mondo Amore" nonstop ever since it's release. I am so happy to be able to support you and the band in this campaign. Hope the year ahead brings you much happines and sucess. And keep on rocking!
hey Nicole
just put you over 20K! whoo hoo! looking forward to the Toronto show.
take it easy!

Just bought your new CD from Amazon, along with Neptune City CD (already bought the mp3 album from eMusic.) Saw you in Park City twice at ASCAP Music Cafe and loved what I heard! There's a half-page article about you in today's Salt Lake Tribune BTW. Best wishes for continued success!
Hi Nicole & the Black Sea,
I love the new record! Can't to see you y'all in Chicago!
Ivan
Hey Nicole and the Black Sea,
Sending some good karma from Canada. Glad to help out, more people need to hear your tunes with their great sonic landscape! See you at the Media Club tomorrow.
Cheers,
David
So Kickstarter ends after you hit my city (Portland this Sunday). How is this going to work?
Good luck! I hope you get the 30k...Love your music. :) ~~~~sending good vibes~~~~~~~~~
Wishing you well from Birmingham England and awaiting news on being able to contribute from here so my CD is as special as I can afford!
Listening to Mondo Amore all i can say is WOW!!! Also pledged $60 wish it could be more...
Hey! If the 30k goal is reached she'll make a 7 cover song EP for all kickstarters that pledged money so keep spreading the word! :)) NEW GOAL!!!
My wife and I discovered Nicole when she opened for Chris Isaak in Boca Raton several years ago. We recently flew to NYC just to see her perform at City Winery - it was a great show and we even got to meet Nicole afterwards. Hope you add some Florida locations to your tour - Palm Beach County has several great venues - email me if you want suggestions.
way to go on reaching your goal nicole!
You make it so damn easy to want to pitch in and help out. Keep crankin' out amazing albums!! See you in Chicago :)
Nicole's going to have to make a whole album for the $500+ crowd. :-)
Raise the goal and by an airplane instead of a van. We are waiting for you to come to Europe! I promise no volcano ash clouds anymore!
Congrats :)
Congratulations!
Just pledged $30. Hope you guys in the US will enjoy the tour :) Nicole come to Europe also!!
nicole, way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!keep it going and you will have a nice van and other things to help you to produce music for the folks that appreciate your voice. keep it going . the pussycat
i really wanted that song with my name in it...big fan!
Dear Nicole, I didn't know you 5 hours ago. Just looked for new projects at kickstarter. Found your's and now I'm sitting here after ordering your CD "Neptune city" at amazon listening one song after the other from you in youtube. Your voice and your band are so awesome - couldn't get enough. but now it's 03:27 a.m., I've got to go to bed and hopefully dream of "The way it is" - Perfect song - amazing. See you at the soundcheck - wherever...
Nicole! You have the most beautiful voice in the whole world and I hope that you can get your bus and spread your talent to even more people! (Also, a stop in North Dakota would be cool. . . not that anyone WANTS to come here. Haha.)
Discovered you via The Avett Brothers concerts in the NY area. (Also happened to be standing next to your parents during a show at Irving Plaza a couple of years ago - your mom and I had a grand old time together!) Good luck - hope my small pledge helps out!
Made a pledge. I'm really wishing I could afford more, but I had to be reasonable. We were hoping to attend a show anyway, so I hope the "reward" corresponds with the show we had in mind. Or maybe more tour dates announced later into 2011?
I wont even get to see your show, but it's still worth it. Wish I could give more.
I wish you continue writing and performing beautiful music...Can´t wait to listen to "Mondo Amore"...Greetings from Zapopan, Mexico.
Looking forward to the show at the Turf Club.
I love what you are doing!!!
Hey Nicole, I pledged 60$ yesterday and I was thinking about it again today and I can say it just feels awesome to do something good for the sake of music you know!? I can't wait to see you in Montréal in February and I hope I get a chance to say hi! :-) J'adore ce que tu fais, continu!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you and the band in San Diego and LA.. Thank you for the countless hours of enjoyment listening to your music. Hope these donations help you to achieve your dreams.
Nicole, I just pledged $60 for you and the band. I so wish I could afford to give you the rest. I hope you reach goal and am so happy to have been able to help out!
The live streaming show today was excellent. I hope you add a tour stop to Kansas City or Lawrence, KS.
Can't wait to see you in St. Paul!! This is a great way for your fans to really feel a part of the tour!
See you in LA.
Thank you for the Livestream show - you have a wonderful personality and presence (and Irena is phenomenal). Hope to see you live somewhere in the Cleveland-Columbus-Pittsburgh area.
Best wishes! Maybe there'll be a chance to see you in Germany sometime.
Wow, getting a good feeling about this XD The total amount doubled while I was filling mine out! Consider this a "Thank You" for the free WXPN shows.
nicole, you have a great talent, i hope my pledge of 150 bucks will help your dream. you are a shining star which deserves to be heard around the" world". it is not to often when a talent like you comes around. best wishes. THE "STEP"
I'm headed out to Sundance tonight -- maybe I'll see you there!
Best wishes in reaching your goal! Look forward to seeing your performance at Bowery Ballroom.
