Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea shares video for ‘A Plea’ from debut solo album

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea teased the release of his debut solo album with his first-ever solo single, “A Plea.” The tracklist, guest appearances, and additional details for the as-yet-untitled solo project will be revealed sometime this year  (per Billboard).

Written by Flea, “A Plea” features Flea on vocals, electric bass, vocals, and trumpet, with his ensemble also including a stellar lineup of modern jazz collaborators including: double bassist Anna Butterss and guitarist Jeff Parker, drummer Deantoni Parks, percussionist Mauro Refosco, alto flutist Rickey Washington, and trombonist Vikram Devasthali. Chris Warren joins on vocals, as does the song’s producer, Josh Johnson, who also plays alto saxophone.

Flea describes the song’s lyrics as “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.” He continues, “I don’t care about the act of politics. 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.”

In addition, the music video for “A Plea” was directed by Los Angeles-based photographer and filmmaker Clara Balzary (Flea’s daughter) and showcases Flea’s freestyle dance moves, with choreography by Sadie Wilking.

MTV’s music-only channels officially go dark

Paramount Skydance has officially shut down MTV’s last dedicated 24-hour music channels.

The shutdown affected the music-only channels that aired music videos exclusively around-the-clock: MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live, which went dark as of December 31, 2025. Paramount Skydance is also expected to shutter music-only channels in Australia, Poland, France, and Brazil. The main MTV network will continue airing reality and pop culture programming.

MTV was revolutionary in the music business when it launched as Music Television on Aug. 1, 1981, arriving as the first 24-hour music video channel. In many regions, the final song played before the channels went dark was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles — which was the same video that launched the original MTV in 1981.
