Breakthru is the self-released debut album by American singer-songwriter Antoniette Costa. It was released on her label L.I.P. Label 14 on March 1, 2005.
History
The album exhibits Costa's R&B and soul tendencies as a singer-songwriter. Some of the 12 tracks are piano ballads, while others are accompanied by a band. The album was dedicated to her recently deceased aunt, and featured 12 songs that had been written from middle-school to college. 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.
