Free Music Notes for Everybody Got Their Something

Free Music Review: Costa Has Got That Something
Hit: 4 Stars

With a guitar riff that traces straight back to Heartbreaker by the Rolling Stones, Nikka Costa gets out to a fast start on the first track, Like A Feather, and then shows her range as a songwriter/vocalist throughout this excellent CD.

She reaches deep into her soul for real interpretations of R&B, blues and gospel, with a variety of mixes in the production. Though I am not a fan of layered vocals, Costa is able to do an admirable job because of her range of expressions in delivering the parts.

She sings it like she's lived it in Push & Pull and Corners Of My Mind, with Tug Of War and the title track compelling enough to make you stop what you're doing and listen intently.

A dynamite CD likes this one means that the artist has refined the material over a period of years and may struggle to reach the same peak or is starting one of those magical runs of quality releases. Costa has set a solid foundation and Everybody Got Their Something will stand on its own no matter what the future brings.



Everybody Got Their Something Poster

Nikka Costa's fiercely bootylicious first single, "Like a Feather"--that song with the thick, clapped 16th notes--has already garnered the 28-year-old singer one hell of a buzz, and for the most part, she's got the goods to back it up. Already a platinum-selling artist in Europe and South America, the Tokyo-born, L.A.-bred singer's stateside debut bulges with ambition. It's a mixed bag of musical tricks that's equal parts '70s-style funk, hazy Led Zeppelin-inspired psychedelia, and angst-ridden alternachick yowling, with healthy dollops of soul, hip-hop, and thrash thrown in for good measure. Produced by Costa, Australian rocker Justin Stanley (who's also the singer's husband), and high-profile New York City DJ Mark Ronson, the album works best when it piles on the noise--like on the standout "Tug of War," which features the unmistakable rim-shot work of Roots drummer ?uestlove. On that track, a flurry of scratched samples, layers of soundboard-smeared noise, and a few luscious string sweeps break into gospel-choir harmonies that swirl gorgeously beneath Costa's reedy mezzo-soprano wails. It's a shame that she can't match this intensity on sparser down-tempo ballads like "Nothing" and "Just Because," where she sounds like Fiona Apple's slightly less annoying older sis. As the album's title says, everybody got their something, and Costa sounds best when she sticks to hers. --Sylvia W. Chan
