Nikka Costa

A steadfast believer in the power of classic soul, Nikka Costa avoids the pitfalls of nostalgia by accentuating her throwback moves with stylish flair. This blend of traditional and modern fashion could be heard on Everybody Got Their Something, the 2001 album that introduced her to the world at large. Costa spent the remainder of the 2000s walking the tightrope separating contemporary dance-pop and retro elegance, establishing a foundation for a career that allowed her to indulge in the drama of Nikka Costa & Strings: Underneath and In Between and the cheerful hedonism of Dirty Disco, the 2024 album that marked her first collection of original material in 16 years.
