Freaky Styley is the second studio album by American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers,
released on August 16, 1985 on EMI. Freaky Styley marks founding guitarist Hillel Slovak's studio
album debut, following his return to the band earlier in the year. The album is also the last to
feature drummer Cliff Martinez. Freaky Styley was produced by George Clinton, of Parliament-Funkadelic.
The album yielded four singles: "Jungle Man," "American Ghost Dance," "Catholic School Girls Rule"
and "Hollywood (Africa)."
According to Jason Birchmeir, of Allmusic, Freaky Styley is "the closest the Red Hot Chili Peppers
ever came to straight funk, [it] is the quirkiest, loosest and most playful album in their long and
winding catalog. It's also one of the best, if also one of their least heard.
