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.
