Listen To This: No Day Like Today
Filed under: Listen To This
Take a little bit of Norah Jones, a dash of Regina Spektor and a hint of Ronnie Spector and you'd have Nicole Atkins.
If that mix sounds appetizing to you, then check out the scrumptious Maybe Tonight below.

FIRST BITCHES !!!
She looks like the girl from Americas Next Top Model…….. haha
I like cheese!
she's amazing. i'm from jersey and have seen her play shows in asbury park many times.
Itz the bitchez turn 2 b prezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
vote for my hill….
cute pic of whatever at the top….luv my perez….
Great stuff. Take it from an older man, if you like this go listen to Mama Cass.
Becs a whore
That's a terrible hair cut - if you read this Nicole, sort it out. Nice song tho.
not to mention that she looks oooookily like alanis morissette.
this girl sucks.she is a TOTAL starfucker.she stalked ryan adams and his whole band years ago.i met her at niagra. she went psycho on me in 2.5 seconds b/c she thought my bf could get her closer to a record deal.who did she sleep with to get on here? YAWN!
james scarpella made out with her
That's a MAN, baby!
YUK! That sucks. Why did you want us to listen to that again?
Yay, you posted something about Nicole!
This girl sucks, saw her open up for Tegan and Sara a few years ago….no there is a band you should check out - Tegan and Sara!!
Dude, that's Lisa D'Amato.
she looks like a guy in a wig. her song is OK, but the only hint of ronnie spector is that mowtown orchestration. i'm a bit surprised that with all the "audioshopping" they do with recordings they couldn't keep her from sliding offkey several times….nothing special…she should pay you double for that "endorsement", fatty
She's in an AMEX commercial. She sold out before she got started. But admittedly, I do like her voice.
Yay! I've been looking for this song EVERYWHERE!
Love her! No harshing on Nicole.
about fucking time perez. i have loved this woman's music for years, you've been missing out my friend, MISSING THE FUCK OUT.
Half of you people don't even know what good music is. She has one hell of a voice that girl. you're all so obsessed with how she doesnt fit your ideals of conventional beauty…. and your ears have been so clogged up with that nstink and trashlee simpson garbage that you can't hear straight. Losers.
My god perez you really are the worse in comparing artists
this is nothing like Spektor or Jones
this is cheesy pop!
awful!!
She has been opening for Chris Issak forever. She opened for him here in Chicago last summer. Her best song by far is "The Way it Is"
YAY SO EXCITING this is great exposure for Nicole, she is amazing, I've seen her 5 times in the past few months, knocks it out of the park every time
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for posting this
I have been listening to her for YEARS and it's nice to see her on here finally
ANOTHER PRETTY FACE, ANOTHER CRAPPY VOICE, what is it with the music industry these days, where did all the music go? As for Nicole Atkins, THE BITCH CAN SUCK MY DICK
wow… she's pretty damn good. i"m impressed. But i loves your taste in music Perezzers.
She needs a better production staff, man, if this girl hooked up with the right people she could really it it like Ronnie Spector (I hear Phil is available).
Her voice reminds me of Stevie Nicks in many ways, more so than Ronnie, and nothing like Norah Jones. If the music was more pronounced and slowed down at points, it could somewhat like the older songs
I liked the song, don't get me wrong, it's just not as good as stated. This girl has great potential and I could see her going far. Also, all the fag and queer crap is really annoying. I think these people need to go back to kindergarten, and then start all over. Fucking Juvies.
I thought it was the Americas Next Top Model girl too!!
Re: k – right? i've seen this girl play over a dozen times now (already!) her shows are fantastic. SHe's playing a show here in Boston in two weeks, I can't wait! love the d's too, dan, cashmere, dave, eh, i think i missed one. she's also a very cool girl.
Re: SaxeyEyes – definitely check out the rest of her album then.
Re: Van… she does sound a little Mama Cassish. i really like this.
Sounds just like Gwen Stefani.
I've been a huge fan of Nicole ever since I saw her a year ago - she keeps on getting better and better live and she definitely has "it" now. Soooo glad to see that she's finally getting the attention she deserves - I think she'll break out in '08. Great job Perez!
OMGDzz IT'S FIONA APPLE!!
Nice
Eh, it just sounds kinda generic. Typical chord progressions, synthesized instruments, and boring lyrics, topped with breathy, uninteresting vocals. And she kinda looks like Paula Abdul. Sorry, Perez, but I still love you!
are you sure this isnt alannis, looks awfully similar
is she related to Fergie??????????
This artist is awesome. She's beautiful, and if you ever get the opportunity to see her and the Sea play live you will absolutely fall in love. Oh, and about the production, Rick Rubin gave her album the final touches. One of my top ten albums of 2007.
Nicole Rocks!
Check out her version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" on youtube, pretty cool.
She sounds similar to Sarah Slean (an amazing Canadian singer/songwriter)! I love her voice.
This girl is beautiful and has an absolutely amazing voice. All you jealous hoes should back up off her. Get real. I'm sorry she doesn't resemble one of your favorite pop stars or sing about bullshit and dance naked, get over it. This is good music, and obviously you wouldn't know what that sounds like if it smacked you in the face. Congrats Nicole Atkins and The Sea and much luck to you in the future.
justine bateman????????????? you look like the sister from FAMILY TIES !!!
Re: trina –
nicole atkins has been playing her original music since she was 14 years old. she is no starfucker, my dear….she deserves every bit of credit from her newly released album. you just sound like your are jealous. sounds like your bf is jealous too. why don't you go get another drink at the bar?
i love her! she goes to the local bar all the time and her boyfriend is in another local band called the parlor mob
Nicole is awesome… I saw her at SXSW.
Too funny that all you loser idiots post "first"… get a life losers!
I've seen Nicole in NY. She's amazing- she's one of the few people around who can actually write real songs today. The rest of her record is fantastic- check out "the way it is" or "brooklyn's on fire"
Nicole is something special. I hope that her music continues to grow on people.
Perez youre way the fuck behind. This girls been about kicking it now for atleast a good 4 months. She is KILLER. And your description lacks truth. She beyond Spektor vocally. She rings closure to the Wainwrights and is all the beautiful eeriness of a Tim Burton film. My newest love Ms Atkins and the Sea.
Finally you put some good music up here. I saw her at her sold-out show at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC on Friday night. It was nothing short of amazing. For all you people saying she can't sing, well I don't know, you must be deaf. I had chills during her performance. She is one of the best vocalists out there today. Her voice is so ridiculously powerful and beautiful. It was a wonderful show on Friday and there was this insane energy — it really felt like Nicole was on the brink of something big and I think everyone else there felt it too. I cannot recommend this CD or this artist more.
Nicole Atkins is without doubt one of the most talented forces in music. I have been fortunate enough to see her play live many times, and each time I am blown away, The intensity of her voice, the rawness of her emotions and her first class showmanship make her unique and very rare in a world of digital pop music. Congratulations Nicole!
the jersey shore's female answer to roy orbison! make us proud shore girl! bruce and bon jovi slide down one seat…
I love her and her music. She's brilliant.
SHE LOOKS IDENTICAL TO LISA D'AMATO OR WHATEVER THAT AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL GIRL IS CALLED - seperated at birth perez!!!
I LOVE NICOLE ATKINS AND THE SEA!! YAY!!!!
Isn't that Leather Tuscadero from Happy Days?
Re: trina – Nicole was rockin out when you were still listening to the Backstreet Boys. What crappy band is your boyfriend in?
Love her music. Her sound is like Loretta Lynn or Mama Cass meets David Lynch. What a voice!
nicole's got more talent in her pinky toe then 90% of contemporary musicians out there! she's changing the face of music, THANK GOD!
Doesn'r she do those American Express commercials?
Nicole Atkins is amazing! I've been a huge fan, since my band performed on the same bill as her in Brooklyn! She rocks…and she's really nice too.
Sorry Perez, as much as I LOVE your blog, you are not amazing enough to be picking out music for us to listen to. This shit sucks, as do most of the other songs under "Listen to This".
love her!
Sounds more like Chrissie Hynde to me.
she has been one of my favs for a whiiiiiiiile. amazing.
Re: lucy lui – i was just about to write that! yeah, she looks a heck of a lot like lisa d'amato
I LOVE NICOLE ATKINS.
She's amazing and it's awesome that she is finally getting recognition for her talent!!
good music taste perez.
hey i'm from jersey, have seen her a number of times only because i work in the industry- all i have to say is she's a bitch. she's a bitch already and she doesn't have any fame or respect to back it. plus she looks like a wet dog.
i have know nicole for years, and some of my friends have known here for decades, so i can speak with some authority….she has and amazing voice and drive, she just sucks at being a good person (and friend). but personal shit aside, her voice does bring chills to me still…it's hauntingly beautiful…i just wouldn't even trust her to water my plants. i wish her well, but her amex commercial bothers me when she says to someone on the phone "yeah, i'll fly you out." we all know the real nicole, but i hope everyone gets to know her music.
no lie nicole is one of the most talented and kind-hearted rising talents of our generation. i saw her in asbury about 4 or 5 years ago and the room fell silent and everyones jaw dropped. she is honest, pure talent and that girl is going to go far!!! ROCK ON!
GEE i wonder where she got her START!!!!! My guess is that it was a small resturaunt in BELMAR NJ………….I used to go watch her play on Wed. night's at ARMADILLO CROSSING……..Miss ya B…
Finally Perez you put her up!!! I sent you that link like months ago!!! You should check out her boyfriend's band too- The Parlor Mob. Their cd is coming out sometime in spring!!! Love this chick…awesome personality too
also a dash of neko case and jenny lewis…. no?
I totally thought that was Lisa from Americas next top model… weird.
Its Stevie Nikes OMG
I love her voice, very original. Good songwriting too.
That IS the girl from ANTM - She was just NIC on that show, but htat is her
that's pure stevie nicks when she could still sing right there.
This song sounds like a christmas song. Just drone out the lyrics and its like something from a cheap xmas cd.
i've seen her several times as well and she's always been nothing but sweet and cool.
tranny anyone?
