Album background

The album was a departure in musical styles from Martika's debut album. Martika's Kitchen incorporates elements of gospel, jazz, funk, R&B and traditional Cuban music. The album features four songs written and produced by Prince. The four Prince songs (tracks 1-3 and 10) on the album were recorded by him and then sent to Martika to overdub. Three of those songs were based on a lyrics notebook she had given him for inspiration.

Album reception

The Prince-penned title track cracked the US Billboard Hot 100 and the gospel-themed "Love... Thy Will Be Done", co-written by Prince and Martika, made the top 10.[8]

The album was certified gold in both the UK[1] and Australia.[9] "Love... Thy Will Be Done" reached #1 in Australia,[10] and the top 10 in the UK,[11] Ireland,[12] and New Zealand.[13] The "Martika's Kitchen" single reached the top 40 in the UK,[11] Ireland,[12] Germany,[14] Australia,[10] and New Zealand.[13] A third single, "Coloured Kisses", narrowly missed the top 40 in the UK,[11] and peaked at #39 in Australia.[10] A fourth single, "Safe In the Arms of Love", was released in Europe in 1992[15] but failed to chart. "Temptation" was set to become the final single[citation needed] but was never officially released.

A concert tour to promote the album visited over 200 cities.[citation needed]
