ABOUT THE RECORD Martika is the self-titled debut studio album by former child actor and teen pop singer Martika. The album spawned the American No. 1 single Toy Soldiers. The song is about drug addiction, but can sound like a break-up ballad. The song was later sampled by rapper Eminem for his 2004 song Like Toy Soldiers featuring Martika as the chorus singer. Songs that charted internationally included More Than You Know, Water, and I Feel the Earth Move, a Carole King cover that cracked the American Top 25. Stylistically the music was strictly pop, despite exploring some adult topics lyrically. The song Water is partially sung in Spanish, an homage to Martika's Cuban ancestry. Other songs were re-recorded fully in Spanish for international release. The album was successful in the United States; it managed to peak at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA, making it her best-selling album to date. The album peaked at No. 11 in the United Kingdom, containing three top 20 singles there. In the UK, the song Cross My Heart had already been a top 20 hit for the band Eighth Wonder a year previously, whilst Big Fun pulled their planned single release of I Feel the Earth Move shortly before Martika's release.
