From Loudersound.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – the cover stars of the new issue of Classic Rock – have released another single from upcoming album Unlimited Love. The new song, Poster Child, is the follow-up to Black Summer, which was released month.
Describing a Chili Peppers song as “funky” might demonstrate a wilful lack of imagination on our part, but Poster Child is certainly so. Not in a taut, disco-stomper way, but in an airy, relaxed, lets-go-to-bed-yeah-but-maybe-later kinda way.
Flea breezily flips his fingers around, John Frusciante is typically understated, Chad Smith lays down a rhythm that’s so relaxed the song almost drifts into being, but best of all is the vocal: Anthony Kiedis engages in a half-spoken, half-sung rap that opens with the line “Melle Mel and Richard Hell were dancing at the Taco Bell” and goes on to name-check Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Steve Miller, Motorhead, The MC5 and Van Morrison.
Unlimited Love is the first RHCP album since guitarist Frusciante returned to the band in late 2019. Production was handled by Rick Rubin, who completed a return to the cast behind the hugely successful Blood Sugar Sex Majik, By The Way, Californication and Stadium Arcadium albums.
“Our only goal is to get lost in the music,” say the band. “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.”

on June 6, 2026 at 12:48 amRED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Stadium Arcadium (2020 UK/EU limited edition 28-track quadruple album 4-LP set. Originally recorded in March 2005 with longtime collaborator Rick Rubin, Stadium Arcadium stands as the Red Hot Chili Peppers'most expansive studio statement. The album is presented across two distinct halves - Jupiter and Mars - each unfolding its own mood and pacing while remaining part of a unified whole. Musically, the set balances melodic introspection with funk-driven momentum, capturing the band at a point where craft, confidence and chemistry aligned. The collection includes key singles such as Dani California, Tell Me Baby, and Snow ((Hey Oh)), alongside deeper album cuts that underline the breadth of the sessions. This edition is housed in two separate gatefold picture sleeves, one for Jupiter and one for Mars, both contained within a rigid slipcase picture box. Having been out-of-print for so long now is the time to finally bag one for your collection. Recommended!)
