John Frusciante is enjoying his latest stint with the Red Hot Chili Peppers a lot more than previous ones.

The guitarist told NME that he and his bandmates “put a lot less ego” into the songwriting for their upcoming album Unlimited Love.

He said: “It wasn’t so much a competition thing as really wanting to give a part of ourselves to one another – being excited to listen to what the others were bringing in.”

Unlimited Love will be out April 1st. The first single, “Black Summer”, was released last week.
