Label: Light In The Attic
Reissued 11/24/2023, Originally released 1979
Light in the Attic is excited to announce the first ever vinyl release of Crashin' From Passion! This stellar album is considered Davis’s most musically diverse, blending elements of reggae and calypso, jazz, dark synth-pop, and even disco. Equally exploratory are Davis’ vocals, as she trades in her signature sass and snarls for more nuanced stylings. Crashin’ From Passion was remastered by Grammy nominated engineer Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters and pressed on vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI). The accompanying booklet includes a treasure trove of rare photos from the era, plus lyrics, and new liner notes by writer, ethnomusicologist, and Betty’s close friend, Danielle Maggio, who integrates interviews that she conducted with Davis, marking her last ever interviews.
