First charted : 7 May 1988
Chart peak : 7
Number of hits : 15
Mica ( originally Michelle Warren from Islington ) seemed to come out of nowhere but she'd appeared on record as a member of The Spirit of Watts gospel choir in 1985 and as a backing vocalist for one hit wonders, Hollywood Beyond in 1986. Mica was then signed by Fourth and Broadway as a solo artist.
"My One Temptation" was her first single. The song, about the dangers of falling for a bad guy, was written by Mike Leeson, Miles Walters and Peter Vale. It's not my cup of tea but it's a clever piece of pop soul with a strong chorus and a touch of class added by the French horn in the arrangement. The 19-year old Mica has a strong R & B voice and that pretty much exhausts what I can find to say about it. It remains her only Top 10 hit here and her only ( very minor ) hit in the U.S.
