“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, I am very pleased to have been able to help out. As I told you when we spoke in Denver last Oct, I've been a huge fan of yours ever since the DirecTV special. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see you in Nashville in March due to work conflict (that's life on the railroad) but hopefully I'll get another chance to see you soon. As soon as I get a second copy of Mondo Amore, I'll get it down to our Knoxville independent FM (WFIV FM 105.3) station for them to hopefully add to their play list. Best of luck on your tour! Steve (p.s. I loved the Conan appearance!)
Congratulations! That's just great and shows The Way It Is! I'm deeply impressed and inspired by your work.
Nicole, you are being played on commercial FM radio in Knoxville, TN. WFIV FM 105.3 is playing Mondo Amore. Thanks go out to program director Joe Stutler for getting you on the air.
