you're welcome... i remember catching this 3 months before her album came out... best concert i've ever seen.

THIS IS THE SONG
that got me interested in- & then hooked on- the MARVELOUSLY SOULFUL Nikka Costa!


She has GOT to be
"the best kept secret" in the music business.


In a way, I'm somewhat "torn", because someone with this much musical talent should be more "known".. but at the same time, I like.. "having her to myself"..

OH!

if ANYBODY gets the word about her going on tour or doing any shows..


ORG.NOTE ME IMMEDIATELY!

i don't understand what the big fuss over her is.

me neither... plus, isn't this the wrong forum ???

Go check out her site - www.nikkacosta.com and watch the Amsterdam performance... 25 minutes and it is THE jam.

That video alone converted me.

Handclaps & Pej:


what songs of hers have you heard?

It's NOT "my job" to convince you how great she is, I'm simply curious as to what you might have heard..


it's funny, because some people have inaccurately compared Nikka to Janis Joplin..
the only thing I see the 2 have in common is their "look"

Janis' voice was much "rawer" than Nikka's..


Nikka has a style, her music has a style..
no 1 has to be into her, but those who aren't they are DEFINITELY missing something!

Do you know what the status is on her new CD?

SHE'S DOING A NEW CD???

OH SHIT!!!


THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF IT!!!
Where did you get this info? her website?

WHERE???

i don't listen 2/care 4 any of the newer stuff, so i don't really know about nikka. all's i know really is all the stuff i read about her here on the .org.

the only time I ever heard her sing was in Vegas at the last ONA concert...to tell you the truth I really wsn't diggin her too much... I'm picky and would rather have heard Sheila sing more that night...maybe if I heard more songs by Nikka on CD or sumfin...

Check out the messageboard on her website. Did you ever see the Amsterdam video on her website? I downloaded it - it's just FLAWLESS. The girl is FUNKY. The BAND is funky.

Transcript interview:
Q:What have you been doing the last year and what studios are you using?

N:I have been writing the new recored and I had reconstructed knee surgery so those have been my 2 main projects We haven't gotten into a major studio, we have a studio in our house now.

I DID see the Amsterdam show..

SHE WAS BAD!!!
Nikka definitely threw done. Tight band. Tight sound. The only critique was that the "concert" was TOO SHORT


The only Nikka music I've heard is her '01 release "Everybody Got Their Something", & from that, there are maybe only 4 songs that I don't totally dig.
