  Martika - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
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 huger 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, spurning hits with the songs "Coloured Kisses" and "Temptation".
She was encouraged by her agent to combine her love of film and music by scoring soundtracks and in 1990 she wrote and recorded the song "Blue Eyes are Sensitive to the Light" for the soundtrack to the film Arachnaphobia.

 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.
However, the album was again a huge success abroad, though on a lesser scale, spawning hits with the songs “Coloured Kisses” and “Temptation.” However, it faded fast on the charts and went out of print.
Unfortunately the producers of the album did not like her vocals and so the song was re-recorded by Sara Hickman for the film, though Martika retained her writing credit.

 CD Baby: OPPERA: Oppera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
OPPERA did not wait very long to follow up their eclectic CD 'Violince', with this raucous, wild sophmore effort that will put this act on the map!
Not many artists come out of the box this polished and prepared for the spotlight, but then again, not many new acts come into the game with over 4 million units sold under their belt either....not to mention, production on many many hit songs and years of extensive touring on the national level.
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.

 Ashland Daily Tidings :: Online Newspaper Edition - Your Community News Source Since 1876.
Oppera is the joint venture of Martika and Michael Mozart.
Releasing 10 successful country-rock albums and enjoying hits that included “Let Me Love You Tonight,” their biggest hit was the infectious “Amie.” Pure Prairie League’s ongoing album mascot is a rootin’ tootin’ saloon-patronizing cowboy character named Luke who was originally painted by Norman Rockwell and appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post.
The album’s lyrical concept is freedom of the spirit, and Chamberlin made his debut as lyricist on most of the album’s songs.

 Biography
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.
Her first album was released in october of 1989 and contained several hit singles.
The album went on to be a big hit with old fans and new fans alike and got many people talking!

 STAND BY YOUR MAN
It is a relationship filled with sparks both creative and romantic as well as conflicting work ethics and diva tantrums (all in fun of course) and yes; you get a sense of that in their music.
This OPPERA album, “the fist” as we call it, is one where I didn’t write anything.
I’m supposed to be singing this song for someone who has passed on and it took two hours to find the perspective that I needed in order to sing the song and I came at it with the perspective of losing Michael and the whole thing just drove me to tears.

 Bare Bones Lyrics Albums Review
The group is fronted by guitarist-vocalist Barbara Keith, who released a major-label album in the early 1970s and went on to pen songs for the likes of Barbra Streisand and Lowell George.
Oppera is one of the most amazing bands today.
This is a powerful original album that points to the future of where blues could be going, nodding at the same time to the African roots of the past.....for the ears of today.

Oppera rocks out on such tracks as "Ride The Wave" and "The Only One" and Michael even showcases his strong vocals on the prince like track "Another Dollar".
I was blown away when I first heard Oppera's debut cd,Violince, but it further proves Oppera's outstanding appeal and talent when it came to releasing their new self-titled cd, Oppera.
Oppera is very similar to Violince, but much more diverse and on a deeper level.

 Amazon.com: Violince: Music: Oppera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
OPPERA consists of former Columbia Recording artist 'Martika', who scored numerous hits, culminating with the Billboard topping, number one smash 'Toy Soldiers'.
Martika was one of the first female Latin artists to hit it big on the pop scene and for years afterwards, many followed in the footsteps of her meteoric rise to stardom.
OPPERA is the best of two worlds that have collided together to form the nexus of a potentially landmark new act.

 Press Release: April 11, 2005
Don’t look for the members of OPPERA to sit still waiting for the release of their self-titled CD--a sonic cocktail of impassioned vocals and multi-textured guitar work--due out May 31 on Dunda Chief Records.
That’s why there’s so much to OPPERA; parts of it are very raw, very rock, very pop or very rhythm and blues, with a jazz and classical influence.
For the album’s first focus track “So,” the pair have again undertaken the feat of creating a video for the track themselves.

 Oppera - Violince @ Soundbug
Martika has lost none of her hauntingly pure talent that catapulted her into the spotlight and to the top of the charts.
With an army of alt-rock bands goose stepping to the same beat, OPPERA has side-stepped the pitfalls of sounding like everyone else, and created a wonderfully detailed world of their own that you really must hear to believe.
Oppera is honestly one of the BEST most unique bands out there....and they're just as good on this CD as they are in concert (yes I HAVE seen them).

We have asked repeatedly that old threads not be bumped, but it seems as if you cannot abide by such a simple request, so we are abiding by the request for you.
She has since moved through the world of adult acting (including a critically heralded turn as a sociopathic killer in the indie film "Route 55") and she's matured, to say the least.
Her new band "Oppera" combines the feeling of intense, grungy Goth Rock with her former pop sensibility to bring something that's just slightly a notch above angst-teens like Avril Lavigne and Pink.
