Friday Night Funk Album Rock - Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Getaway
One of my favorite bands. I've been an ardent fan since the beginning and have all their albums. The Getaway is a mature and solid album but it is arguably not their best work (there are some gems), however, I wanted to expose DU to some later RHCP as I feel they have matured into one of the best Funk Rock bands out there.
The Getaway is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released through Warner Bros. on June 17, 2016.[4] The band's first studio album since 2011's I'm with You, it was produced by Danger Mouse, who replaced Rick Rubin after 25 years and six albums as the band's producer. This is the band's second and final album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer before the return of John Frusciante in 2019.
The Getaway made its debut at number one in ten different countries while reaching number two in the band's home country of the United States along with the United Kingdom and Canada. The album received generally favorable reviews.
The album was preceded by the first single "Dark Necessities" on May 5, 2016.[5] "Go Robot" was released as the album's second single on September 8, 2016, peaking at number 12 on the Alternative Songs Chart, while "Sick Love" was released as the third single on December 4, 2016; however, it failed to chart. "Goodbye Angels" was released as the album's fourth and final single on April 4, 2017. The album's title track received radio airplay in the UK despite never being released as an official single.
