Awesome 80s Albums: Martika - Martika

Welcome to part 20 of my 32 (plus bonus post) part series on awesome albums from the most awesome of decades, the awesome 80s.

This is yet another album that i no longer own in physical form, Martika's 1989 self-titled debut album.  There is something about female vocalists that is a little off putting for me (maybe it is their insistence to opera things up and overkill the vibrato, or hit insanely high notes) - at least that is limited in the pop world.  Well, anyway, Martika's debut is actually a decent solo effort.  Maybe that is because this is an 80s pop sound.  This album was somewhat successful behind the big single "Toy Soldiers".

Notable Singles:
* "Toy Soldiers"
* "More than You Know"
* "I Feel the Earth Move"

Other Singles:
* "Water" (Remixed version)

Other Songs on the Album i Kind of Like:
* "Alibis"
* "Cross My Heart"
* "If You're Tarzan, I'm Jane"
* "It's Not What You're Doing"
* "See If I Care"
* "You Got Me Into This"
