Episode 8: Stop In The Name Of Love

This week on Hearts Don’t Lie, we dive into Stop In the Name of Love (1995) — La Toya Jackson’s final full-length studio album and one of the most overlooked entries in her discography.Following the country inspired From Nashville to You, this album marked a return to dance-pop and mid-’90s club sounds, reworking Motown classics through upbeat production, house-influenced grooves, and La Toya’s unmistakable vocal style. We explore the album’s fascinating context, its curious creation stories and why these reinterpretations feel more like reinvention than tribute.From high-energy dance remixes to surprisingly heartfelt moments — including La Toya’s take on I’ll Be There — this episode reexamines a record that didn’t chase commercial success, but quietly expanded La Toya’s musical world.A forgotten gem? A misunderstood experiment? Or one of La Toya’s most fun releases?Let’s talk about it.
