Additional information
Personnel: Martika (vocals, percussion), Don Kirkpatrick, David Macias, Mark Leggett (guitars), Michael Mattioli (saxophone), Mitch Kaplan, Claude Gaudette, Greg Smith (keyboards), Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizer), Marvin Morrow (keyboards, drum programming), Marc Jones (bass), Omar Martinez (drums), Paulinho Da Costa (percussion), Michael Jay (drum programming), Rahsaan Patterson, Donna DeLory, Rick Jude Palombi, Mona Lisa Young, Sue Sheridan, Mendy Lee, Laura Creamer, Stacy Ferguson, Marlen Landin, Kimberly McCullough, Devyn Puett, Renee Sands, Alitzah Wiener, Miki Harris, Clif Magness, Davey Faragher, Michael Cruz (background vocals). Recorded at Trax Recording Studio, Hollywood, California in April and May, 1988. Not just the Madonna wannabe she is often remembered as, Martika had songwriting skills and enough savvy to choose some of the best hooks of the '80s for her debut album. You'll find yourself singing these songs months after you've heard them. And that's a good thing. Her voice is thin and a bit limited, but she surrounds herself with producers who understand how to put a sheen on a great pop gem. The catchiest song is also the dumbest; "If You're Tarzan, I'm Jane," about a girl willing to adapt to anything her man wants her to be, is somewhat sexist, but it's such fun it's hard to not sing along. The big hit single, "Toy Soldiers," works with its childlike vocals and lyrics, creating a haunting, effective dichotomy with its subject of drug addiction. Martika even has the chutzpah to cover a Carole King song -- "I Feel the Earth Move" -- and actually does it justice. Producer Michael Jay -- writer or co-writer of "Toy Soldiers," "If You're Tarzan, I'm Jane," "More Than You Know," "Cross My Heart," "You Got Me Into This," "It's Not What You're Doing," and "See If I Care" -- shows he has the ear of an amazing pop artist à la Bernie Taupin. The melodies and productions make this album a major success, but if pop isn't your thing, you might not care that these are hooks many superstars would kill for. ~ Bryan Buss

Item arrived in a thin/poorly packed brown parcel satchel. Parcel was damaged upon arrival & when opening there was very noticeable damage to the disc cover (large crack on the bottom plastic casing). After some initial delays/unclear communication from the seller a replacement copy was sent and arrived recently. Once again the parcel was very thin & poorly packed - very disappointing - but thankfully no damage to the replacement. Seller should consider escalating the poor quality parcels.

  • Lots of great hits for 1980s fans

    Known for singles like "Toy Soldiers", but there are lots of other great songs on the album. Must get for fans of 1980s music.
