Review by Javier Espigares Martin

Betty Davis' album Shut Off The Lights He Was A Big Freak is a must-listen for any fan of funk and soul music. The album, released in 1971, showcases Davis' powerful vocals and unique style, blending elements of rock, funk, and R&B.

The opening track, "If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up," sets the tone for the album with its raw energy and explicit lyrics. Davis' boldness and confidence are evident throughout the entire album, especially in tracks like "Don't Call Her No Tramp" and "He Was A Big Freak."

The instrumentation on the album is equally impressive, with a tight rhythm section and funky guitar riffs that perfectly complement Davis' vocals. The album's standout track, "Anti Love Song," features a haunting piano melody and Davis' emotive vocals, creating a powerful and unforgettable listening experience.
