Almost six years after The Getaway, the Red Hot Chili Peppers return with Unlimited Love, a new studio album produced by Rick Rubin and featuring John Frusciante on guitar.

This the band’s first album with Rubin since 2011’s and Frusciante has been away for over 15 years (he last appeared on 2006’s Stadium Arcadium).

The first single is ‘Black Summer‘ and you can preview it below:

This is what the band have to say about the new record:

“Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We (John, Anthony, Chad and Flea) spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could. Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt. We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album UNLIMITED LOVE, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe. This is our life’s mission. We work, focus, and prepare, so that when the biggest wave comes, we are ready to ride it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this record is the ride that is the sum of our lives. Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it. ROCK OUT MOTHERFUCKERS!”.

– Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, John Frusciante

The album is being released on CD, 2LP black vinyl and deluxe gatefold 2LP with a poster. There’s an Amazon-exclusive 2LP blue vinyl edition, a special 2LP red vinyl which is available via RSD-participating indies and Rough Trade in the US have a 2LP orange vinyl. None of the coloured vinyl editions appear to come in the gatefold sleeve.

Unlimited Love will be released on 1 April 2022 and the band will play stadiums in the UK this summer.
