    Nice work. Some very catchy and beautiful songs. If you like Lenny Kravitz and Prince you should love this one.

    This album is brilliant. A brilliant debut by a brilliant performer. The woman surpasses anything she might have ever recorded in her live performances. The album has some near-perfect songs, like the only song anyone who doesn't care about good music will probably recognize; I'm talking about Like A Feather here, and less known stuff like Just Because, So Have I For You and Tug Of War. The album is great, check it out. But if you get the chance to see Nikka perform these songs live, believe me, you will be amazed. Expand

  1. It's the tender slow rollers that really clinch this supreme collection. [#180, p.97]
  2. Costa is a potent force with all the ballsy punch of a power rocker and the brazen belt of a sharp-tongued R&B survivor.
  3. An intoxicating starburst of self affirming R&B...
