BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1991

A. Front

“Martika’s Kitchen” is the second single and title track released from Martika’s 1991 album of the same name. The single was written and produced by Prince, but failed to be a success in America, peaking at number 93 on the US pop chart. The vibrant and colorful video helped the song be a bigger hit in the UK, where it reached number 17.

On the b-side the Prince-penned gospel song “Love… Thy Will Be Done” had previously been released as the album’s lead single and peaked at #10 US and #9 UK.
