Nikka CostaDirty Disco

Funk-soul with grit under its glitter. Costa's voice goes from purr to full-throated wail over fat basslines and live, sweaty grooves, produced with Justin Stanley and a crew of serious players. The record sounds like a dark, sparkly back room where nobody's watching, blue light and a thick low end. It struts, it broods, it gets raw. Disco bones, soul muscle, attitude to spare. Drop the needle and let your freak flag fly.
