Album Review: Nikka Costa - Pebble to a Pearl

Singer-songwriter Nikka Costa is one of those artists whose work is more appreciated in Europe, Australia and elsewhere than it is here in her homeland of the United States. But despite that, she keeps on keepin' on and makes songs not directed at the mainstream or with American music charts in mind, but aimed at lovers of funky Soul and soulful Funk. And on her latest release, Pebble To A Pearl, released in the U.S. on Oct. 14, 2008, Nikka shows that even though she's not a household name in America, she's the real deal when it comes to making the type adult contemporary Soul, Funk and Blues that sticks to your ribs.
