Episode 9: Starting Over

After years of silence, control, and survival, La Toya Jackson finally steps into the light with Starting Over — an era defined by independence, creative freedom, and emotional honesty. In this episode of Hearts Don’t Lie, we explore La Toya’s long-awaited return to music, from the fearless dancefloor joy of Just Wanna Dance to the deeply personal songwriting that runs through every track on the EP.We unpack the symbolism of this era: La Toya writing on every song, reclaiming her voice in her late 40s, embracing a new public image, and reconnecting with audiences through music, television, and storytelling on her own terms. Starting Over isn’t just a comeback — it’s a journey from trauma to release, reflection, and ultimately joy. And it might just be one of the most meaningful chapters of her career.
