#Nov '91 - Seal, 'Killer'



It's the loneliness thats the killer
So you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you want to be...


This was the first of several big hits for Seal between 1990 and 1995 - the others included "Crazy", "A Prayer For The Dying" and "Kiss From A Rose". Seal first came to public attention as vocalist on the Adamski single Killer in 1990 which eventually reached number one in 1990 in the UK. Seal subsequently released his début album, self-titled Seal, in 1991 and his own rendition of Killer performed well in the charts.

#Nov'91 - Martika, 'Martika's Kitchen'



...Come on get some In Martika's kitchen baby
You bring the noise and I'll bring the smile...


Martika's Kitchen was the second single and title track released from Martika's 1991 album of the same name. The single, written and produced by Prince,[1] failed to be a success in America although the vibrant and colourful video helped the song be a bigger hit in the UK.

#Nov'91 - Roxette, 'Spending my Time'



'Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too...'


In the early 90s, Roxette, a Swedish pop-rock duo, stood among the top bands in worldwide sales and notoriety, brandishing a simple yet effective blend of pop with a slight edge and occasional hints of dance. Although many critics considered their music to be lightweight there was a time in 1991 when Roxette could command an arena filled with tens of thousands of fans across the globe. This track, from their hugely successful Joyride album, is an evocative, acoustic guitar based, romantic ballad.

#Nov '91 - Michael Jackson, 'Black or White'



..."it's not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood comes from
It's where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not gonna spend my life being a colour"


Black or White is the lead single from Michael Jackson's Dangerous album and was released in November 1991. The song is a mix of rock and dance-pop which was written, composed, and arranged by Jackson (with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell), as a song that promotes racial harmony. The original video generated much controversy concerning the last four and has been labelled as one of the "Most Controversial Music Videos" of all time.
