Red Hot Chili Peppers To Debut New Song
By Radio.com Staff
(RADIO.COM) – Before their performance at this year's BottleRock Napa Valley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will release a new single titled "Dark Necessities" Thursday, May 5th according to a tweet by the band Monday morning. According to sources close to the band, more information will be revealed Thursday after the song has been released.
Excited fans instantly took to social media to discuss possible directions the song could take given its name. One fan joked that "It's just a funky cover of Bear Necessities," referencing the similarity in title to the classic Disney song "The Bare Necessites," from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book.
The Chilis most played a benefit concert Friday at The Shrine in Los Angeles, but according to attendants, the band didn't play any new music so the forthcoming song remains a mystery. If in fact "Dark Necessities" is indeed from a new album, it'll be the band's first full-length since 2011's I'm With You.
