Heart Don't Lie

3

Flint, MI, USA

June 15, 1984

A solid, high-energy effort of singable, danceable songs.

While she is vocally limited, she does have a winning, girlish exuberance in her tone.

The songs are pleasantly innocuous but probably wouldn't make much of a stir without the famous name.

All of the songs have a refreshing innocence.

The sound is studio-perfect, but the songs aren't convincing.

LaToya performs with a detached, almost bored approach at times.

LaToya's voice is improving on each new album, but I still think it'll take some time before her ballads will get to be top-quality.

Certainly an artist of limited musical ability.

Although the album is reasonably well put together, with good arranging, performing, and recording, LaToya is saddled with nine songs beyond her rather limited capabilities.
