Nicole Atkins Neptune City - Vinyl

On her 2007 Columbia debut, NEPTUNE CITY, New Jersey-raised/Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins offers up a bold, vibrant set of songs that place her in the company of fellow pop eccentrics such as Rufus Wainwright, Fiona Apple, and Keren Ann. With her resonant voice and lush, inventive arrangements, Atkins sounds like an old soul, a point hit home by the jaunty album opener, "Maybe Tonight," and "Brooklyn's on Fire!," a majestic tune bolstered by strings and choir-like vocals.
