<\/div>\n

Singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins<\/a> unveiled a new love song, \u201cCaptain,\u201d from her upcoming album, Italian Ice<\/i>, out April 17th via Single Lock Records.<\/p>\n

The track is a rich, country-tinged ballad that boasts backing vocals from Spoon\u2019s Britt Daniel and finds Atkins offering a struggling partner a helping hand: \u201cAnd when you\u2019re found a wreck,\u201d she sings, \u201cI\u2019ll pull you on deck\/I can be your captain for once.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain\u201d also arrives with a video that finds Atkins delivering a delightfully hammy performance of the song as if she\u2019s starring in a gauzy and glitzy old school infomercial (complete with a hotline number you can call).<\/p>\n

Italian Ice <\/i>marks Atkins\u2019 fifth full-length album and follows her 2017 LP, Goodnight Rhonda Lee<\/i><\/a>. She recorded the album with producer Ben Tanner at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with a band that featured David Hood and Spooner Oldham, who played in the Muscle Shoals session group known as the Swampers. Her backing band on the record also featured the Dap-Kings\u2019 Binky Griptite and Jim Sclavunos and Dave Sherman of Nick Cave\u2019s Bad Seeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusically, it doesn\u2019t make any sense,\u201d Atkins said in a statement about the eclectic mix of musicians on Italian Ice<\/em>. \u201cBut I\u2019m a superfan of all of them, and we ended up with the weirdest, craziest band ever. It just became this awesome misfit party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the session players and Daniel, Italian Ice <\/i>will feature contributions from Seth Avett, John Paul White and Erin Rae. Atkins also co-wrote songs with Daniel, Hamilton Leithauser and Carl Broemel.<\/p>\n

Atkins will embark on a North American tour in support of Italian Ice <\/em>April 16th at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
