Lyrics to "Pebble To A Pearl" song by Nikka Costa: Baby girl too shy to shine Let everybody else take the light Didn't want to burn too bright S. .Baby don't ya act demure So nobody else feels insecure Be yourself and liberate the world Don't ya be a pebble be a pearl. Writer(s): Nikka Costa, Justin Mitchell Stanley, Keefus Keefus. N. Nikka Costa Lyrics. album: "Pebble To A Pearl" (2008).

Like every other new millennium nu-soul diva, Nikka Costa wound up being overshadowed by Amy Winehouse, the neo-soul singer who catapulted over all her rivals with Back to Black, an impeccable updating of classic soul whose modern updates were flair, not foundation. It was the inverse of the formula Costa and her producer/husband Justin Stanley pursued beginning with her 2001 debut Everybody Got Their Something, which not so coincidentally was co-produced by Mark Ronson, Winehouse's producer; a bit of history that had to sting for Nikka. Released: 1 Jan 2008.

No longer hamstrung by the pressures of a major label that tried to shoehorn her into ill-fitting mainstream pop stardom, self-proclaimed Funky White Bitch Nikka Costa finds a far more appropriate home on the re-launched Stax label for her new album Pebble to a Pearl

Label: Concord Records, Inc. Nikka is a veteran of this blue-eyed retro-soul game, and don't you forget it. Released on her own Go Funk Yourself label (in conjunction with Stax), Pebble to a Pearl grooves harder - to the ear and from the heart - than lead single "Stuck to Yo. The title track is a Chaka Khan-tinged funk workout with an uplifting message: shine on! The en "Someone for Everyone" is best paired with red wine and a box of tissues
