Review

Rolling Stone (5/10/01, p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...WHips up funk positivity and indulges the singer in her impersonation of Angry Soul Woman....there isn't a thing wrong with EVERYTHING, except perhaps its vacuum-sealed perfection."
Entertainment Weekly (5/25/01, p.80) - "...An audacious, fresh-as-a-daisy debut....crossbreeding songcraft with ass-thump funk....intoxicating..." - Rating: A-
Q (Summer/01, p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Moody soul-funk...Like a softer Anastacia, with the emotional cache and record collection of Macy Gray, it's the tender slow rollers that really clinch this supreme collection..."

She may be the offspring of famed Sinatra arranger Don Costa, but Nikka Costa's muse lies in a soulful fusion of rock, electronica and hip-hop. Costa ignited a buzz via the lo-fi, beat-heavy "Like A Feather" (included here as the opening track) that was used in a Tommy Hilfiger ad in Summer 2000. Released on D'Angelo's label Cheeba Sound, Costa's debut is far from empty industry hype, as she shifts gears between the percolating Sly-flavored funk of the title track to giving Macy Gray a run for her money on the R&B ballad "Just Because."

Costa's eclectic tastes also pop up via samples of The Beastie Boys (the psychedelic trip-hop of "So Have I For You"), Xavier Cugat (a drum-and-bass flavored "Tug Of War"), and Cannonball Adderley (the string-laden soul tune "Corner Of My Mind"). A delightful grab-bag of stylistic nuances, EVERYBODY GOT THEIR SOMETHING is a wonderfully organic debut that promises to find its way onto more than a few Best Of 2001 lists.
