Not much has been said about the eccentric diva named MARTIKA since her 1991 sophomore album MARTIKA'S KITCHEN, which is by far the best record I have ever heard. In the previous years that followed she had much success. Her first album was released in october of 1989 and contained several hit singles. The first single "More Than You Know" was a catchy dance record that reached number # 18 on the pop charts and made quite an impact on the dance charts. The next release "Toy Soldiers" was a dark haunting ballad that reached # 1. "I Feel The Earth Move", the third single, was a powerhouse dance version which has it's own distinctive sound from Carole King's original hit. A fourth hit "Water" was released only in Europe and the last single to be released off the album.

After the success of her first album, Martika decided to try out her acting abilities. "Wiseguy" was the show that first brought Martika back to television since "Kids Incorporated". She played a lounge singer named "Dahlia Mendez" who sings COLE PORTER jazz tunes. She also gets involed with a lawyer who is working with a group of people planning to overthrow the Cuban communist government. Although Martika signed on for 6 episodes, the show only lasted 4 episodes and then it was cancelled. In the third week of July "Martika's" new single finally arrived. It was titled "Love...thy will be done", and it was a supernatural flow of pop gospel. It went on to be a big hit as well. On August 27, 1991 "Martika's Kitchen" was released, her second album. It was also the next single to be released and the last song to put Martika on the American pop charts. "Coloured Kisses" and "Safe In The Arms Of Love" were also released but the latter only in Europe.
