Betty Davis was a musical maverick with a unique vision. Her music was a blend of image, substance, sex, and grit, complemented by a talented band that delivered funky rhythms. Known for her albums like "Betty Davis" and "They Say I'm Different," as well as "Nasty Gal," Davis embarked on creating her most personal record yet. In 1976, she recorded 10 tracks at Studio In The Country in Louisiana. Unfortunately, due to creative differences with her label, the album, "Is It Love Or Desire," was shelved. This hidden gem in Davis's discography has been mastered from the original tapes, remaining untouched for over 30 years. The release includes detailed liner notes, the intended artwork, rare photos, archival material, and recent interviews with Davis and her band Funk House. Unveiling a story never heard before, this album sheds light on Davis's bold contributions to music and popular culture. Experience the long-awaited "Is It Love Or Desire" and celebrate the legacy of Betty Davis.
