Martika's Kitchen is the second album released in the year of 1991, by pop singer and former child actor Martika.
Album background
The album was a departure in musical styles from Martika's debut album. Martika's Kitchen incorporates elements of gospel, jazz, funk, R&B and traditional Cuban music. The album features four songs written and produced by Prince. The four Prince songs (tracks 1, 2, 3 and 10) on the album were recorded by him and then sent to Martika to overdub. Three of those songs were based on a lyrics notebook Martika had given Prince for inspiration.
Album reception
The title track cracked the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Prince-penned gospel song "Love... Thy Will Be Done" made the top 10.[5]
The album was certified gold in both the UK[1] and Australia.[6] "Love... Thy Will Be Done" reached #1 in Australia,[7] and the top 10 in the UK,[8] Ireland,[9] and New Zealand.[10] The "Martika's Kitchen" single reached the top 40 in the UK,[8] Ireland,[9] Germany,[11] Australia,[7] and New Zealand.[10] A third single, "Coloured Kisses", narrowly missed the top 40 in the UK,[8] and peaked at #39 in Australia.[7] A fourth single, "Safe In the Arms of Love", was released in Europe in 1992[12] but failed to chart. "Temptation" was set to become the final single[citation needed] but was never officially released.
A concert tour to promote the album visited over 200 cities.[citation needed]
