After a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his generation's defining rock bassists, Flea releases his first full-length solo album, Honora, on Nonesuch Records. <br/>Time and space have finally allowed him to return to his first musical loves: jazz and playing the trumpet.<br/> <br/>For Honora, which takes its name from a beloved family member, Flea composed and arranged the music, and also plays trumpet and bass throughout, joined by an elite crew of modern jazz visionaries: album producer and saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Deantoni Parks. The record features vocals from Flea, as well as friends Thom Yorke and Nick Cave. Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes), among others, also join the band. <br/>The album comprises six original songs-including one co-written by Flea, Johnson, and Yorke-as well as interpretations of tunes by George Clinton and Eddie Hazel, Jimmy Webb, Frank Ocean and Shea Taylor, and Ann Ronell.

Shinedown return with their long-awaited studio album EI8HT, led by the powerful new single "Safe and Sound." <br/>The release follows a historic year that saw four major singles featured on the album - three #1 hits Three, Six Five, Dance, Kid Dance, and Killing Fields, along with Searchlight, which debuted at the iconic Grand Ole Opry and continues to climb at radio.<br/><br/>The momentum continued with a massive sold-out arena tour, including Madison Square Garden. Self-produced by bassist Eric Bass and co-written with front man Brent Smith, the 18-track album balances arena-sized rock with deeply introspective, relatable lyrics, delivering something for everyone and reaffirming Shinedown's identity as everyone's band.<br/><br/>Brent Quote:<br/><br/>''This album is over a year in the making. Without question as a band we pushed ourselves like never before. Especially when it comes to Eric. Myself, Zach, and Barry are so honored to create, and work with such an extraordinary producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter, musician, performer, and band mate. We are so excited, finally announce our 8th Studio album titled EI8HT alongside our Dance Kid Dance Act ll World Tour.''
