Flea's debut album is set to be released on the 27th of March 2026.
Flea released the first single from the new album last month. The track titled 'A Plea' leans into the musicians long time love for jazz music as he returns to his roots as a trumpet player. Flea also uses this song to speak about the political unrest across the US.
Flea described the song as a mirror of the issues he sees in modern society, the tune portrays him “yearning for a place beyond, a place of love, for me to speak my mind and be myself.”
“I’m always just trying to be myself. I don’t care about the act of politics,” he added. “I think there is a much more transcendent place above it where there’s discourse to be had that can actually help humanity, and actually help us all to live harmoniously and productively in a way that’s healthy for the world. There’s a place where we meet, and it’s love," Flea said.

Flea has released a second song just yesterday, titled 'Traffic Lights', the new track features Thom Yorke and Nick Cave. "It means mucho to me to birth another song, Traffic Lights, from my upcoming album Honora, I hope it can ease burdens, sway hips and bring people together. My compadre Thom Yorke sings on it, cutting, floating and lyricizing like the stone cold G he is," he posted on Instagram.
Cave revealed his participation on his website last March, he said: "Last week, Flea sent me a song and asked if I’d like to add some vocals," he stated. "It was for a 'trumpet record' that he is making. It is not for me to divulge what the song was, only that it is a song I cherish more than most, with arguably the greatest lyric ever written, a song of such esteem that I would never have dared to sing it had Flea not asked me to."
"I went into the studio on Wednesday and recorded my vocals. The track emerged as a beautiful conversation between Flea’s trumpet and my voice, filled with yearning and love, the song transcending its individual parts and becoming a slowly evolving cosmic dance, in the form of a reconciliation and an apology," Cave continued.
