''Martika's Kitchen'' is the second album released by pop singer and former child actor Martika. Released in 1991, it features four songs written and produced by Prince. 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 was critically praised but was a relative commercial failure in the U.S. The title track barely cracked the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, but the Prince-penned gospel song "Love... Thy Will Be Done" made the top 10. The album was highly successful elsewhere in the world and triggered a concert tour that visited over 200 cities. The song "Coloured Kisses" charted internationally. The song titled "Temptation" was set to become the final single but was never officially released. Building upon such previous efforts as "Toy Soldiers", the album tackled serious topics lyrically. "Broken Heart" is about crack babies; "Pride and Prejudice" deals with racism and homophobia. The Spanglish track "Mi Tierra", which features a guest vocal performance by Celia Cruz, is a lament of a Cuban-American's inability to visit her homeland. The four Prince songs (tracks 1, 2, 3 and 10) on the album were recorded by him (the original versions have been circulating on several bootlegs) and then sent to Martika to overdub. Three of those songs, however, were based on a lyrics notebook Martika had given Prince for inspiration. ==Track listing== # "Martika's Kitchen" (Prince) – 5:09 # "Spirit" (Frankie Blue, Martika, Prince, Levi Seacer Jr.) – 4:38 # "Love...
