The new album will mark the band's first album since the return of their guitarist John Frusciante in 2019. Anthony Kiedis tells NME “I really didn’t want to tell the same old story that we’ve been hearing for the last 50 years in rock music,†about the RHCP's new album.
He adds “I liked reaching out in 10,000 directions and seeing what was out there. We weren’t limiting ourselves but trying to tap into something that is honest and emotional. Hopefully, we’ve said something that hasn’t been said before, or at least said it in a way that hasn’t.â€
The band spoke about the reconnection with Frusciante and the change in their sound.
However, Keidis said “The biggest event, honestly, was John returning to the band. That was the most monumental change in our lives. And God was I down for anything and everything.â€
