La Toya Jackson – La Toya
La Toya Jackson is the self-titled debut album from American singer, songwriter and performer La Toya Jackson, originally released in 1980. The album introduced her as a solo artist outside the hugely successful Jackson family, blending polished pop, disco, funk and R&B with the sophisticated studio production associated with the period.
The record showcases La Toya's distinctive vocal style across a mixture of upbeat dance tracks, contemporary R&B and more melodic material. Opening with the energetic You're Gonna Get Rocked!, the album immediately establishes its polished, groove-driven approach, while You Blew and Such A Wicked Love explore a more soulful side of her sound.
Not Giving Up On Love and If I Could Get To You provide more romantic moments on Side A, before the second side moves back towards dance-oriented pop and funk. Turn On The Radio is one of the album's most immediately accessible tracks, while Just Say No and Does It Really Matter continue the record's blend of rhythmic production and melodic songwriting.
The album also features (Tell Me) He Means Nothing To You At All and (Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do, completing a collection that reflects the polished crossover sound of early-1980s pop, soul and R&B.
For collectors, La Toya Jackson offers an interesting snapshot of the Jackson family's musical world beyond Michael and Janet, while also standing on its own as a stylish example of early-1980s dance-pop, funk and R&B.
An appealing addition to any La Toya Jackson vinyl collection, this album is particularly suited to fans of 1980s pop, disco, funk, soul and R&B, as well as collectors of Jackson family releases and vintage dance music.
