  8. Prince won some stuff at the Smash Hits Poll of 1989: Worst-dressed person and Worst album for the "Batman" soundtrack. "Batman" itself won Best film; Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" won Worst film.

    Martika was the Most Promising New Soloist; let's prove that promise was met, fast forward to 1991 and her song co-written with Prince, "Martika's kitchen".

  9. "Martika's kitchen" - Martika

    We've speed-run my crush on Martika in the past four months: from "Toy soldiers" to the song she was destined to make: playful, funky, intensely memorable, sexy and even more playful than one dare imagine.

    Written by Prince, after he'd had a riffle through young Martika's diaries, the title track from her second album has lots of double-entendres, always room to put another one in,

    We're still waiting for album three, 'Tika.

  10. "Love, thy will be done" from Martika. The lead-off single from her second album "Martika's Kitchen", a saucier and steamier and much more honest work.

    Like with her eponymous debut LP, first single is an atypical ballad - this one's co-written by Prince and has a prominent Cocteau Twins sample chugging along.

  11. Martika with the video for "Toy soldiers", the standout single from her not-as-good-as-it-ought-to-have-been debut album.

    She'll be in the studio in two weeks' time, channelling the spirits of Robert Smith and k d lang in one package.

    Move over Terence "Trout" D'Arby, pop has new swoonesomest peepers!

    #Martika predicted this outcome in 1988.
