Pro Whoa

PRO★WHOA is a six-track EP by the American soul singer-songwriter Nikka Costa released on 21 June 2011.

It marks a change in musical direction, from funk and soul toward a more pop-oriented aesthetic.

[1] Reviewers noted the EP's mix of diverse influences into a pop sound,[2] and called the songs "adventurous" and "freewheeling".

[citation needed] Promotional version[citation needed] Several tracks recorded after the release of Costa's previous album Pebble to a Pearl (2008) did not make the final EP, although "Not the Only One", "Everybody Loves You When You're Dead", "Ching Ching Ching", "Song for Stadiums", and "Radio" were included on an earlier promotional version of Pro Whoa (from which "Chase the Thrill" was omitted).

"Kick" appeared on the INXS tribute album Original Sin.
