Singer Nikka Costa Keeps It Funky With 'Pebble To A Pearl'
Before Amy Winehouse, before Duffy there was Nikka Costa. The flame-haired funk singer reemerged on the music scene -- decades after touring the world as a child star -- with the 2001 hit album Everybody Got Their Something.
Now, after switching record labels and having a baby, she's touring again in support of her new CD, Pebble to a Pearl. Costa talks with Farai Chideya about being a new mom and breaking down musical barriers.
Before our interview, Costa performed a few of her newest songs for Morning Becomes Eclectic on NPR member station KCRW. Check it out.
