If Nikka Costa's 2001 domestic debut EVERYBODY GOT THEIR SOMETHING proved how wide a stylistic net the singer could cast, then her 2005 follow-up CAN'TNEVERDIDNOTHIN' serves as a focused outlet for Costa's funkiest tendencies. In pumping up the wah-wah guitar, clavinet, strings, and biting horn charts, this California native has crafted an album brimming with the kind of sexual vibe and joie de vivre that will conjure up images of Prince, Sly Stone, and Betty Wright. When Costa isn't channeling Macy Gray on the likes of "Happy in the Morning" or wailing throughout the spicy swagger of "Till I Get to You," her subtler moments are just as stunning. "I Gotta Know" employs piano and gorgeous orchestration to convey romantic uncertainty, while "Fatherless Child," an homage to Costa's late father, Sinatra arranger Don, resonates with genuine pain. But it's as a brash hellion that Costa hits her mark best. A tribal percussion intro gives way to a scorching reading of Ike and Tina Turner's "Funkier Than a Mosquitoes Tweeter" while "On & On" stomps with an authority that suggests Led Zeppelin with a P-Funk attitude adjustment.
