Mondo Amore

MONDO AMORE is a courageous, provocative work, fraught with dramatic tension, sweeping emotions, and musical ambition, with Atkins remarkable voice commanding attention at the forefront. On Mondo Amore, Atkins goal was to create a more volatile sound than she had previously attempted, a sonic approach akin to such influences as Scott Walker and Nick Cave, while also touching on longtime inspirations like the blues and classic 60s psychedelic rock. As it's all-encompassing title suggests, Mondo Amore is a big, bold collection, a grandly romantic song cycle fraught with all the passion, anger, tenderness and devotion of Atkins own extraordinary heart.
