History

The album exhibits Costa's R&B and soul tendencies as a singer-songwriter. Some of the 12 tracks[2] are piano ballads, while others are accompanied by a band.[3] The album was dedicated to her recently deceased aunt, and featured 12 songs that had been written from middle-school to college.[4] In honor of her aunt, who was an avid supporter of education, Costa donated a percentage of the album sales to the Rosalita Costa-Clark School Fund in Pittsburgh.[3]

Release

Costa independently released the album on March 1, 2005 on her own record label L.I.P. Label 14.[1] The album ranked No. 1 on Amazon's Early Adopter Indie Music Chart and No. 69 on the Early Adopter All Music Chart.[4] It also led to Costa's future collaborations with members of The Roots.[5]
