I've just listened to 'Neptune City' by Nicole Atkins for the first time today. Almost immediately, I listened to it for the second and third times.
Wow.
Spector-style '60s pop with a bluesy-country tint to it. She has a fantastic voice that soars like her songs do.
Has she been noticed in Eire or anywhere else yet? If I'm years behind everyone else and totally uncool, I just don't care because this album is wonderful.
Here's her single 'The Way It Is'. The chorus at 1:08 - who couldn't possibly be moved by that?
