For the Record: Red Hot Chili Peppers Sizzle on New Singles

Red Hot Chili Peppers are back with two new singles from their upcoming album The Getaway. The first single “Dark Necessities” was released earlier this month, and starts off with a piano build before giving way to an all-too-familiar slap bass:

And this week, we have the second single and album title track “The Getaway,” a straightforward bass-heavy funk number with female backing vocals:

The album is produced by Danger Mouse and Nigel Godrich, who is most known for his work with Radiohead, and will include piano by Elton John on one of the tracks.

WE SAID THIS: The album comes out on June 17th.
