Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has announced the details of his debut solo album.
The trumpet-driven record is called Honora and is due out March 27. It includes the previously released track “A Plea.” A second cut, called “Traffic Lights,” is out now.
“Traffic Lights” was co-written by and features Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke, with whom Flea played in the band Atoms for Peace.
“Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom,” Flea says of the track. “Just knowing him, I thought it would be a rhythm and a sensibility that he would relate to. And I was right, he did.”
Honora also features guest vocals from Nick Cave.
Along with the album news, Flea has announced a run of intimate U.S. tour dates, spanning from May 7 in Chicago to May 16 in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. local time.
