	Martika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her first album, Martika, spawned the number one hit of 1989 the anti drug abuse song "Toy Soldiers", but was, as is often the case with American pop stars, an even larger success abroad.
		Her second album, Martika's Kitchen, was an American flop (but for the radio favourites "Love...Thy Will Be Done" and the title track.) However, the album was again a huge success abroad, though on a lesser scale, spawning hits with the songs "Coloured Kisses" and "Temptation".
		Martika attempted to revitalize her acting career by playing lounge singer/undercover cop Delia Mendez on the early 1990s cop show Wiseguy, but the part was a temporary one and eventually she faded from the public eye around 1993.

		Martika's voice brilliantly hits the high notes, even though the lyrics are in places quite cliched on close inspection, its hooks are so joival and sung with such unrestrained enthusiasm and happiness, it's hard to care.
		Martika's self-written romantic lyrics are very poetic and clever here in her metaphor for love's unquenchable thirst and mutual fellings of love reflected, and then when she starts to sing in Italian it becomes literally mouth watering.
		Martika effectively disappeared into the Musical Bermuda Triangle around 1992, though rumour is her comeback is on the horizon.

		Her first album, "Martika," spawned the #1 hit of 1989 "Toy Soldiers", but was, as is often the case with American pop stars, an even huger success abroad.
		Martika attempted to revitalize her acting career by playing lounge singer / undercover cop Delia Mendez on the early 90s cop show "Wiseguys", but the part was a temporary one and eventually she faded from the public eye around 1993.
		Instead she built a web site in 2001 (martika.net) for her long-enduring fans, and released a remix of a newly self-recorded song called "The Journey." The song was, however, a sad attempt at Cher-like disco comeback, and it garnered only 5000 hits as a free download on mp3.com's music service.

	Oleo - Martika Toy Soldiers: The Best of Martika
		Most importantly, there was a latent ferocity in Martika's performances which adds a great deal of edge to her music, whether it was synth-dance songs or power ballads.
		It's a shame that the careening sales of her sophomore album Martika's Kitchen had sent her into anonymity, because this is '80s pop music that holds up better than most, just for energetic performance.
		Several other album tracks and remixes make up the rest of this album, and perhaps this is the best you can get to a complete Martika collection since there wasn;t much to begin with.

		Martika and Michael care about thier fans and are the most genuine people I have ever met.
		I really think martika's voice is so good to sing rock, I don't understand why she is not singing ballads, where she shines!.
		I loved their debut album VIOLINCE, but this album just confirm to me what I have always believe, They are extremely talented, the songs are simply incredible This cd really flows, I can truly listen to this on shuffle and not fast forward one song.

		The album is like a tale of two mindstates, which is fitting being that Eminem seems to have a number of personalities.
		The album has very serious moments, but its laced throughout with the fare that we've become accustomed to from Em--comic relief.
		This album is great compared to those of some of his peers.

		Basically this album is a collection of spoken poetry set against a funky/new-agey musical background.
		The album, a bold experiment from Paisley Park/Warner Bros. had a concept that worked, but was way ahead of it's time for many to fully appreciate and understand it.
		Saxman extraordinaire Eric Leeds debut solo album for Paisley Park was to have been the 3rd Madhouse 24 release, instead only 'The Dophamine Rush' (an edited part of the longer 'The Dophamine Rush Suite') was used from the abandoned Madhouse 24 sessions and Eric was given his chance to shine.

		Martika was only 18 years of age, but already understood the harsh realizations of a relationship, or so it seemed in the song.
		Martika was hit by the acting bug again, and decided to pursue her career by appearing on ABC’s “Wiseguy” with Stephen Bauer (Scarface).
		We ran into Martika recently at the Hispanic Designers Inc. Fashion Show and Gala in Los Angeles, where she was wearing an outfit created by none other than Latin designer Manolo, and caught up with some of her latest projects.

		She was quickly snagged by CBS Records as a potential, Madonna-esque pop star.

	Martika: Toy Soldiers: The Best of Martika - PopMatters Music Review
		And after Martika's successful debut album, none other than Prince was compelled to collaborate with her on her sophomore effort.
		The children's choir that intones the chorus of "Toy Soldiers" is stately and strange, but when Martika belts along with them in the chorus, with her voice pushed to it's upper range on the "all" in "We all fall down," the listener is hit on a gut level.
		But the reason we remember Madonna is that she did more than just "Lucky Star." Martika does not deserve to be forgotten, but I can't help but feel like she doesn't deserve a best-of collection either.

		The group of kids during the first several seasons released several platinum-selling albums of cover songs.
		The show also seems to have launched David Hasselhoff's singing career, when he appeared to serenade the children with his rendition of The Contours' "Do You Love Me?" Eric Balfour (born April 24, 1977), is an American actor.
		The show consisted of a group of young teens (that occasionally shifted every few years as members grew too old to be "Kids" and were replaced) who performed watered-down and cleaned-up versions of pop music standards of the era, with most of the Kids noticeably pretending to play their own instruments (they did sing, though).

	Martika - Toy Soldiers
		Not just the Madonna wannabe she is often remembered as, Martika had songwriting skills and enough savvy to choose some of the best hooks of the '80s for her debut album.
		Martika even has the chutzpah to cover a Carole King song -- "I Feel the Earth Move" -- and actually does it justice.
		The melodies and productions make this album a major success, but if pop isn't your thing, you might not care that these are hooks many superstars would kill for.

		Martika joined that pantheon with her first Australian single, the anti-drug classic 'Toy Soldiers'.
		Selecting a cover as my representative track is perhaps a bit unfair; unlike, say, Tiffany, Martika did have a hand in writing most of her hits, on both this and her second album, Martika's Kitchen (although she was famously aided by Prince on the latter).
		Of course, it didn't take long for us to discover Martika's dodgier past, as one of the stars of Kids Incorporated prior to her nose job and mild name change (she was Marta in her television years).

		Martika is a true talent that has not gotten the recognition she deserved.
		I love every song on this album, especially "Pride and Prejudice." The meaning of the song is what lures me in, but her VOICE on this track is killer.
		During the line (climax) "sticks and stones may break bones, but the fire, the fire will burn us down!" she goes ultra-high, then growls down to to a startling finish that is truly sung from the heart.

		So when Martika finally arrived onto the 'tween scene in 1989 with her self-titled debut, it was almost too late in the game, as the bubblegum pop cracked somewhere around 1991.
		After the devastating pop crash of the early nineties, Martika kept her nose out of the biz, vowing to come back when the moment was right.
		Well, Tiffany has made three failed albums (not including her contributions to the Jetsons movie soundtrack in 1990) since the pop draught she experienced just after the success of her sophomore album, Hold an Old Friend's Hand, in 1988, before surrending to Hef's lures in the April 2002 issue of Playboy.
