Electric Lady is the twelfth album by funk band Con Funk Shun, released in 1985 on Mercury Records. ^[2]

Critical Reception

Craig Lytle of Allmusic, in a 3/5 star review, commented "This was unlike any album Con Funk Shun had recorded to date...Intending to try something new without forsaking their appeal and sound, the group solicited various producers, even though group members Felton Pilate and Michael Cooper were credited as arrangers on a couple of selections...This album is full of competent selections; any one of them, such as "Pretty Lady" and "Don't Go," would have been a wise choice as a release." ^[1]
