Reader Discovery :: Nicole Atkins and the Sea :: "Neptune City"

Thanks to Jodie from New York for letting me know about artist Nicole Atkins. I've been listening to her on MySpace and I'm loving her. Reminds me a bit of Debbie Harry. She hails from Neptune City which is just a stones throw from Springsteen's Asbury Park in New Jersey. Her debut cd is named after her hometown. She's been called the female Roy Orbison and you can certainly hear that wavering Orbison quality in her voice.

"Neptune City is just this old place," Nicole says. "There was this glory time, way back when, that I never experienced, but that you cannot escape if you live there. Everyone talks about. They almost yearn for it, but I never experienced it. So maybe this album is my attempt to build something new on top of all that."

"Neptune City" is the first single and video single.
