Rewind: Nikka Costa - Everybody Got Their Something

I have a cache of records that came out during my late-20s and early 30s that always take me back to being on the precipice of "real" adulthood. Looking back ten years later, I was just as clueless as I ever was.

Nikka Costas's Everybody Got Their Something is one of those albums I love because it remains tethered to the time it was released, yet never sounds stale. Costa has a smokey, old-school B&B voice (years before Amy Winhouse) that drips soul.
