Unlimited Love is the upcoming twelfth studio album by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, which will be released through Warner Records on April 1, 2022. It was produced by Rick Rubin, his first album with the band since I'm with You (2011). It is also the first Red Hot Chili Peppers album with guitarist John Frusciante since Stadium Arcadium (2006); Frusciante left the band for the second time in 2009 but returned in 2019, replacing Josh Klinghoffer, who appeared on the two previous albums. The first single, "Black Summer", was released in February 2022.
Background
Following the tour for their 2016 album The Getaway, the Red Hot Chili Peppers began writing their next album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. However, singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea were unhappy with their progress. They wondered if they could involve guitarist John Frusciante, who had left the band in 2009 and moved into making electronic music.[1] Frusciante said: "Flea had put the idea [of rejoining] in my head and I was sitting there with the guitar thinking that I hadn’t written any rock music in so long. Could I still do that?"[1]
On December 15, 2019, the Chili Peppers announced that, after 10 years, they had split with Klinghoffer and that Frusciante had rejoined the band.[2] In an interview, Klinghoffer said there was no animosity: "It's absolutely John's place to be in that band ... I'm happy that he's back with them."[3] Flea said parting ways with Klinghoffer had been difficult, but that "artistically, in terms of being able to speak the same [musical] language, it was easier working with John. Getting back into a room and starting to play and letting the thing unfold… was really exciting."[1]
On February 8, 2020, Frusciante performed with the Chili Peppers for the first time in 13 years, at a memorial service held by the Tony Hawk Foundation for late film producer Andrew Burkle, son of billionaire Ronald Burkle.[4] Shows were scheduled for three festivals that May,[5] but were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
Production
After having worked with Danger Mouse on The Getaway, the band brought Rick Rubin back for the album; Rubin has produced six Red Hot Chili Peppers albums, beginning with Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991). Rubin said seeing their first rehearsal after Frusciante's return made him cry, saying: "It was so thrilling to see that group of people back together because they made such great music for so long and it really hit me in an emotional way."[7]
Rehearsals were halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They resumed in 2021 at Rubin's Shangri-La studio in Malibu, with around 100 new songs to work on. Kiedis and Frusciante said they had recorded almost 50 tracks, and that there were tentative plans for a follow-up to Unlimited Love, "with a relaxed energy that’s distinct from the intensity of the record that we've made here".[1][8] The Red Hot Chili Peppers described Unlimited Love as "the ride that is the sum of our lives". NME said Unlimited Love shared the "melancholic riffmaking, anthemic choruses and softly-sung melodies" of Frusciante's previous work with the Chili Peppers, but introduced new "grungey" and acoustic elements.[9]
Release
The Red Hot Chili Peppers announced Unlimited Love on February 4, 2022. The first single, "Black Summer", was released on the same day, backed by a music video directed by Deborah Chow.[10] The album is set for release through Warner Records on April 1, 2022.[10]
