Shout It Out is the third album by singer Patrice Rushen. This album was the last Patrice released with Prestige Records before signing with Elektra Records. With this album, Rushen performs songs ranging from jazz, funk and fusion to R&B.
Craig Lytle of Allmusic waxed lyrical about the album saying "Barely into her twenties and, on this, her third album, Patrice Rushen's music spoke volumes for her talent and the growth she would endure as a music virtuoso. This album is not smeared with that dated sound of the '70s so many instrumental projects were contaminated with. Instead, Rushen gives her audience a pleasurable collection of songs ranging from jazz, funk, and fusion to R&B." [1]
