Martika

I couldn't see a thread on Martika

Why is this? I don't know much about her or her collaboration with Prince

How did it come about? What the hell happened to her? Why doesn't she come up in threads?

I am of the "kids incorporated" generation, and was quite a fan of this girls solo career. I think she was one of the few 'proteges' that could sing....

does she count as a protege if she wrote her own stuff too?

did she re-record what prince gave her (I know most of the other proteges didn't)

only 2 songs? really, I though he was involved in more than that

thanks for the info

There were four tracks produced by Prince that appeared on Martika's Kitchen:

Martika's Kitchen
Spirit
Love...Thy Will Be Done
Don't Say You Love Me

Several other tracks were worked on for possible release on the record including Open Book which was eventually released on Jevetta Steele's solo record.

I'd like to see more about Martika, too. She's got a lovely voice and a unique beauty. The last I heard she was in a band with her husband (Michael Mozart) called Oppera. Does anybody know what she's up to now?

Love...Thy Will Be Done was the SHIT! her vocals are awesome and the instrumentals are breathtaking. Why wasn't that a smash hit?
