About this album

Martika is a sharp, hook-filled debut that turned the former teen actor into a credible late-1980s pop star. Issued in 1988, the album blends glossy synth-pop, hi-NRG and pop rock, driven by strong melodies and a polished studio sound. Its standout single, “Toy Soldiers”, became Martika’s signature hit and gave the record lasting recognition well beyond its initial chart run. Alongside lighter, dance-oriented cuts and a well-known cover of Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move”, the album shows how commercial pop could still carry emotional weight and personality at the height of the era’s radio-friendly production.
