You cant please everybody No, you cant please everybody, No matter how hard you try. Cant Please Everybody (Pebble To A Pearl)

If youre going to make soul music -- joyful, authentic, modern yet classic soul music -- it really helps if that music is allowed to come straight from your soul.

Pebble To A Pearl -- the latest radiant gem by the gifted singer-songwriter and performer Nikka Costa -- is far and away her most direct and convincing musical statement yet. If this is Costas most pleasing album to date -- and it clearly is -- then its exactly because the woman singing to us so powerfully has finally found the creative freedom to first and foremost please herself.
