[[Open Book]] was intended for the [[Album: Martika’s Kitchen|Martika’s Kitchen]] album (where the other four songs recorded during the sessions were released), and was written as a response to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika]’s lyrics for ''Safe In The Arms Of Love'', which also appears on the album. '''Open Book''' quotes passages from this song - it is likely that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martika Martika]’s writing input in the song is limited to those passages. It’s unclear if Martika recorded her lead vocla on the sonfg. Also not know is when [[Jevetta Steele]] overdubbed her vocals. | |
