− | |introduction = ''' | + | |introduction = '''Martika’s Kitchen''' is the second album by California pop singer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika], and was released in August 1991. The album contained four tracks with writing and production input by [[Prince]]: [[Martika’s Kitchen]], [[Spirit]], [[Love... Thy Will Be Done]] and [[Don’t Say U Love Me]]. |
− | |||
− | + | '''Sessions and compiling''' | |
+ | [[Prince]] became involved after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika] had already recorded most of the album. She had seen the [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] movie several times and had contacted [[Prince]] saying the movie spoke to her and reflected things she had written in her own notebook. | ||
− | ''' | + | [[Martika’s Kitchen]] was the first song [[Prince]] worked on for her album in late 1990 or early 1991. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika] showed him a notebook full of lyrics she brought with her for their first meeting. [[Love... Thy Will Be Done]] was recorded in January 1991 based on lyrics written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika]. Her record company encouraged her to work further with [[Prince]], and he quickly recorded further tracks [[Spirit]] and [[Don’t Say U Love Me]], the latter being recorded in February 1991. In the liner notes for the expanded 2018 re-release of [[Album: Martika’s Kitchen|Martika’s Kitchen ''[Reheated Edition]'']], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika] discussed the album’s recording: ''"When I got back in L.A., I got a cassette with the basic tracks for five songs. [[Prince]] has crafted the songs around some of my lyrics, then he and the production team at [[Paisley Park Studios|äismey Park]] cut the basic tracks, put some guide vocals down, and sent me the masters. I took things from there, hooking up with various collaborators to complete the picture."'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika] replaced [[Prince]]’s vocals with her own in Spring 1991, and additional instrumentation and background vocals were recorded by her musicians in New York. |
− | [[Prince]] | + | The fifth song recorded by [[Prince]], [[Open Book]] was not kept for the album but was later released by Jevetta Steele on the 1993 reissue of her album [[Album: Here It Is|Here It Is]]. [[Open Book]] was partially based on lyrics written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika] and included on her song ''Safe In The Arms Of Love''. |

− | + | '''Promotion''' | |
− | + | The album produced five singles, [[Single: Love... Thy Will Be Done|Love... Thy Will Be Done]], [[Single: Martika’s Kitchen|Martika’s Kitchen]], ''Colored Kisses'', ''Safe In The Arms Of Love'' and [[Single: Spirit|Spirit]] (promotional release only), and the album was a commercial hit worldwide, although a relative commercial failure in the USA. | |
− | + | It reached only number 111 on the US Billboard Pop Chart, but fared much better in the UK, reaching number 15 on the Gallup Album Chart. | |
+ | |||
+ | In 2017, the album was remastered and reissued the following year in an expanded edition called '''Martika's Kitchen: Reheated Edition'''. | ||
