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.

all you naysayers sound extremely jealous, just sayin.

and "jersey girl" / "she blinded me with science" …clearly you don't know nicole at all…she'll do anything for anyone, at the drop of a hat!
perhaps you were angry she wouldn't put you on a list at one of her shows one night…no biggie, relax!

damn you guys are harsh on the girl. stop hating. she's pretty sweet. all of you who have love for her so far and want to know more, go to her myspace page to hear her stuff. and it's spelled stevie nicks, not nikes, d-bag. try and insult properly idiot

nicole is fucking awesome, i've seen her play probably 10 times over the past year or two. and, EVERY time, no matter how busy she is after a show, she will take time out to speak to her fans…

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE NICOLE ATKINS! her voice is so sultry, she's very talented. I've been raving about her for a while now. Glad to see she finally got a mention on your site P-Nasty…. and to Nicole, congrats on such a great album!

Re: lulu –

no, i've been to her shows (on the list and not on the list), but i'll agree with you that she will do anything for anyone…as long as she benefits from it. maybe she is different now, now that she's getting somewhere and doesn't have to step on us "little people" anymore.
i was just on here to vent a little, but i was still supportive of her music–not her personally. i could have said worse about her.
i'm not jealous of her because i have great friends that she missed out on. i feel sad for her personally, but not professionally–she is a great artist.
did you even read what i wrote?

Re: she blinded me with science!! –

yo science. you sound a bit jaded there, bud… nicole has worked very hard to get where she is and she deserves this success. It’s embarrassing that you are using a sour memory from ages ago just to say you knew her and seem cool on this blog … Her music is genuine, written from the soul and one hundred million times better then much of the crap that is out there now a days. For all you other people who says she sucks, I wonder what is it that you listen to and what is it that do you not hear in her powerful voice & meaningful lyrics? Give it another listen. And if you don’t like, fine. Just get something better to do with your time then posting pointless shit up about someone you don’t care about…

Holy shit! She is a dead ringer for Lisa D'Amato (who I know Perez does NOT love!)

OMG HILARIOUS! lulu,rollem, how many other names does Nicole have to fake to write all about how great she is?i think more than one of us has met this girl and all I can say is PSYCHO. i was drinking water. she was drinking ANYTHING. coo-koo! moving on to anything else!

Re: rollem –

first of all, thank you "legs" for your support.

on to rollem; i NEVER said she sucked! actually if you paid any attention to what i wrote, i clearly stated how AMAZING (see 1st entry—"hauntingly beautiful") her voice is…i think she is very talented and she worked very hard to get where she is….i just wanted to vent about how she got there…and i'm not trying to sound cool because i know her…this is an anonymous posting, so how does that benefit me? i never said she sucked, or looked like a tranny, or any of ther other awful things people have said about her on this blog…actually i said at the end (once again see my 1st post) that everyone should listen to her music…if you are going to attack someone, then make sure you pay attention to what they said.

Re: she blinded me with science!! –

pay no attention to the haters, even though you too are a hater (sorta).

everyone has their right to their opinion, and none of this blogging really matters anyway.

kudos on using your right of free speech!
does any of this even matter? says – reply to this

119

you are all crazy for getting so worked up over something that will just be deleted in a few days anyway!

everyone just needs to get over themselves!

me included.

rollem says – reply to this

123

Actually, this is not nicole. this is a friend & fan of hers who happens to think she is a great person and is very proud of how far she has come on her own… as others of said, freedom of speech & opinion; I am just sorry that yours is so low of her… come on though, slandering/hating on people is pretty lame… keep it coming nicole! don't let people get you down! we love you!

you wrote: "slandering/hating on people is pretty lame" right after you "hated" on someone, now that's lame.

I've been listening to Nicole for a few years now. Such a sweetheart in person and her music rocks!!! Live and recorded it is like no other. Sure she is on a commercial but ya know what advertisers know what sells and Nicole Atkins and The Sea will sell and they will sell big!!!!! People don't hate on things you don't understand. CHeck out iTunes and get her music!!!

Re: lulu – i know nicole from how she treated people at her shows and i'm not talking about her fans. she really isn't that sweet and i'm around musicians- some very well-known and some that you've never heard of, all the time. parlor mob will do better in the long run. they have more talent. hi nicole!

and p.s. i don't need to be put on a list.

i can't believe how worked up some of you all have gotten…it's kinda pathetic…this is america and people have the right to their opinion…if you don't agree with theirs, then whatever…they're not trying to force you to like theirs…so just let me and whoever say what they want, and don't attack them for speaking their mind…because after all, it was just a voiced opinion about someone (and not about you (lulu, rollem))…i'm so over this and i can't believe i'm even giving this subject any more of my time…so i'm not. peace out.

142

you guys are HIGHLARIOUS because of how heated you all have gotten. i used to know nicole back in nc, and i'm glad she has found her success. she has a great voice. that is all i can really comment on because my mom always told me "if you can't say something nice…then come sit next to me!" (just kiddin'). everyone has different likes and dislikes, that's what makes us awesome! peoples is peoples.

random thought…i was wondering if i might know "legs" and "she blinded me with science." if y'all are from the queen city, let me know. also, now "she blinded me with science" has been stuck in my head since i read this page yesterday! so thanks for that.

Wow. You guys obviously have nothing to do.
Are we here to talk about Nicole's music or hate on her personality? Most of the greats in music has personality flaws. Her music is incredible. This song really doesn't do her justice.
She's amazing. So shut the f#ck uo.
