NEW MUSIC: RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS | POSTER CHILD

Red Hot Chili Peppers has released a new track titled “Poster Child”, and fans have pointed out it sounds like a sequel to the "One Hot Minute" song “Walkabout.” The new track will appear on their upcoming 12th studio album, "Unlimited Love," released on April 1st, 2022. The follow-up to 2016’s "The Getaway" marks the band’s first new album with guitarist John Frusciante since 2006’s "Stadium Arcadium." It’s also their first with longtime producer Rick Rubin since 2011. “Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another to make the best album we could,” the band said in a statement about the LP. “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.” The new song "Poster Child" is a follow-up to the first LP single, “Black Summer.” The Deborah Chow-directed video for the song captures the band’s Zen outlook, with the bandmates performing mostly separately in front of serene and surreal locations — a forest, an ice-tipped ocean, outer space and an upside-down desert scene. This summer, the band will hit the road in support of "Unlimited Love," with its North American leg kicking off in Denver, Colo., on July 23 at Empower Field at Mile High. It wraps at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 18.
