For the past week, Red Hot Chili Peppers have been teasing something we could only assume was new music. Well that was confirmed as of Thursday night, the Chili Peppers just dropped a brand new song called “Black Summer”! It’s the first time we get to hear John Frusciante, their newly-reunited guitarist, on an album since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium.

You can listen to the new track and watch the music video below.

In addition to the song, the band also announced a new album called Unlimited Love. This will be the first new Chili’s album in 6 years, their last one being The Getaway in 2016. Unlimited Love will be out April 1st and includes 17 tracks.

In a Facebook post the band wrote:

“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.”
