New Jersey native Nicole Atkins has a sound that’s rooted in classic pop music, but it never sounds like pastiche because she brings so much charisma and vitality to it. She knows how to write and deliver a hook, too. Atkins has been putting out records for more than 20 years now, and she has made records with people like Spoon’s Britt Daniel and the late Mark Lanegan. Atkins’ most recent album Memphis Ice came out in 2021. Now, Chris Isaak has signed Atkins to Wicked Game Records, his new imprint on the historic Sun Records label, and she’ll release her new album Drama comes out later this year.
