RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will launch one other new single, “Not The One”, on Friday, March 25. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album, “Limitless Love”, which can arrive on April 1 through Warner.

A brief snippet of “Not The One” is out there beneath.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS‘s first new LP with guitarist John Frusciante since 2006’s “Stadium Arcadium” was as soon as once more produced by Rick Rubin who beforehand labored on “Blood Sugar Intercourse Magik” (1991), “Californication” (1999), “By The Means” (2002) and the aforementioned “Stadium Arcadium”.

The band acknowledged concerning the new document: “Our solely objective is to get misplaced within the music. We (John, Anthony, Chad and Flea) spent hundreds of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and exhibiting up for each other, to make the most effective album we may. Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we had been simply so rattling grateful for the chance to be in a room collectively, and, as soon as once more, attempt to get higher. Days, weeks and months spent listening to one another, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of these jams with nice care and goal. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, phrases and melodies had us enrapt.

“We yearn to shine a lightweight on the earth, to uplift, join, and convey folks collectively. Every of the songs on our new album ‘Limitless Love’ is a aspect of us, reflecting our view of the universe. That is our life’s mission. We work, focus, and put together, in order that when the largest wave comes, we’re able to experience it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this document is the experience that’s the sum of our lives. Thanks for listening, we hope you take pleasure in it.”

Frusciante stated: “After we began writing materials, we started by enjoying previous songs by folks like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, THE KINKS, THE NEW YORK DOLLS, Richard Barrett and others. Ever so step by step, we began bringing in new concepts, and turning jams into songs, and after a few months the brand new stuff was all we had been enjoying. The sensation of easy enjoyable we had after we had been enjoying songs by different folks, stayed with us the entire time we had been writing. For me, this document represents our love for, and religion in one another.”

On lead observe “Black Summer season”, ethereal guitar underlines introspective lyrics because the rhythm unlocks a hypnotic drum groove highlighted by evocative bass. It quietly inhales solely to exhale with an enormous chorus, “It has been a very long time since I made a brand new pal, ready on one other black summer season to finish,” earlier than a guitar solo echoes to the heavens and again. For the music video, the group teamed up with acclaimed director Deborah Chow (Disney+‘s “The Mandalorian”, “Obi-Wan Kenobi”). The outcome continues a practice of fascinating cinematic visuals — with a twist.

The interaction between the band borders on intergalactic as soon as once more — but elevated to a different stratosphere altogether. “Limitless Love” represents the united spirit of 4 particular person souls nonetheless fearlessly exploring the way forward for their everlasting friendship and musical congregation.

“Right here Ever After” follows a staccato bassline down a rhythmic wormhole because the hook guarantees, “She’s the kinda lady that make you wanna go sooner now.” And whether or not it’s wrangling wild horns and boisterous bass on “Aquatic Mouth Dance” or the poetic dreamscape of confessional ballad “Not The One”, the album twists and turns with gleeful unpredictability. On “Poster Little one”, a cool riff spiked with wah pedal magic wobbles in tandem with the supply as a blissful refrain takes maintain. “The Nice Apes” prices ahead in direction of a primal clarion name. For practically six minutes, “It is Solely Pure” slips out and in of hypnotic harmonies and magnetic grooves. The slinky funk of “She’s A Lover” bleeds right into a chantable gang vocal and dancefloor-ready chorus, whereas “These Are The Methods” sees a gentle melody give solution to guitar and vocal catharsis.

“Whatchu Thinkin'” leans on head-nodding percussion because the vocals flutter with the tempo just for guitar to ignite the refrain. An analog synth choir colours the intro of “Bastards Of Mild” whereas a heavenly crescendo elevates “White Braids & Pillow Chair” past the clouds. Hitting the highways, “One Means Visitors” revs up funk at an intersection of ethereal bass and drums. “Veronica” trades the band’s sunny Los Angeles for the South Facet of Chicago and a near-cinematic story concerning the title character. Then, there’s “Let ‘Em Cry” the place trumpet punctuates the momentum earlier than peaking on an emotionally charged guitar solo. “The Heavy Wing” takes flight on a climactic burst of distortion and vocal conjurations. The experience culminates on “Tangelo”. Threaded along with delicate guitar and emotionally charged vocals, this otherworldly lullaby leaves off on a vibrant, susceptible, and important ultimate word because it slips into the arms of suggestions.

It was as if no time had passed by in any respect after we began enjoying, just about, with a few minor exceptions, like how Chad and I step by step received our communication collectively in a brand new approach. Principally, we’re all simply as comfy with one another as we ever had been, and it simply felt like that proper off the bat.”
