Best Pop Album of the Decade!

"This is the most amazing pop album by one of the best pop artists to come into the music scene. The follow up to her smash debut is riveting, fun, exciting, romantic, and much more. Starting off with the funk Martika's Kitches the album starts off with a bang and does not stop. Next is Spirit-the best track on the album written by Prince. It is so engaging and build and builds to a climatic ending that will leave you breathless. Other fantastic dance tracks include the sultry Don't Say U Love Me and Temptation. The ballads are also worth taking a listen too. Martika shines on the gorgeous Take Me to Forever and the stunning Safe in the Arms of Love. Other noteworthy tracks are Pride and Prejudice and the sweet and enjoyable Coloured Kisses. Martika is a true talent that has not gotten the recognition she deserved. A must for pop music fans. Even if you have not heard any of these songs before you should still have it in your collection. Also included Love... Thy Will Be Done, the gospel tinged ballad co written by Prince."

I still love this album!

"This album takes me back to my university days. I loved it when Martika was riding the charts with hits like "Toy Soldiers", "More Than You Know", "I Feel The Earth Move" and "Water". When she came out with her sophomore release "Martika's Kitchen" in 1991, I was thrilled. The first single, "Love...Thy Will Be Done" was an instant smash and many were surprised to know that she collaborated with Prince on this hit.



The rest of the album is just as good, if not better. The title track, "Spirit" and "Don't Say U Love Me" are the other collaborations with Prince that are just slammin'! My personal favourites are "Pride and Prejudice", "Safe In The Arms Of Love" and "Take Me To Forever". The whole album is solid and every track has/had single potential.



I was surprised to hear that Sony Music dropped Martika from the label after this album. After all, she'd only released two albums. I knew then and still believe now that we'll hear from Martika in the future. Apparently, she sings lead for a rock band named Oppera. I checked out some samples of their songs and wasn't too impressed but then again, I haven't really given their music a chance. Nonetheless, I still enjoy listening to this album. The music is timeless to me."
