Nikka Costa
Dirty Disco
Go Funk Yourself, Inc.
Released 08/16/24
Nikka Costa has unveiled Dirty Disco, the follow-up to 2017’s Nikka & Strings: Underneath and in Between and her first album of original songs to be released in the sixteen years that have passed since her last studio affair (2008’s Pebble To A Pearl) surfaced. Produced by her musical and life partner Justin Stanley, Dirty Disco is preceded by four official singles in the form of the title track, “Keep It High,” “It’s Just Love” and “Dance ‘N Forget.”
“This new album is a reflection of my current headspace and my desire to counteract all the heaviness in the world at the moment with some JOY,” Costa explains in an official statement. “I know I need it and figured we all do sometimes. It's up, it's dancy, it's happy, it's funky, it's positive and it's not taking itself too seriously which is how I want to feel most days. Art is such a powerful tool for healing whether it's facing the storms or finding some release when in the midst of them and I hope this album can let some light and FUNK into someone's day when they need it. Energy dictates the feeling, what you put out there multiplies.”
Costa plans to support the album’s release with a series of west coast performances that kicks off September 20th in Ventura, CA, with additional tour dates to be announced.
