Flea has released his cover of Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You.” The track, features Flea’s electric bass and trumpet, upright bass from Anna Butterss and strings arranged and orchestrated by Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes). The track follows the release of singles “A Plea” and “Traffic Lights” (feat. Thom Yorke), “Thinkin Bout You” marks the third preview to be unveiled from Honora, Flea’s debut solo album, which arrives March 27, 2026, on Nonesuch Records.

“Channel Orange! When that record came out, it really blew me away. I listened to it ten million times. It was something I just couldn’t stop listening to. I loved it so much and still do. Just one of those real watershed moment records for me. ‘Thinkin Bout You’ is one of the many great songs on that record, and I thought it would be fun to play on trumpet.

Then I went to Nate Wolcott, who plays keyboards on Honora on several tunes. He did that string arrangement for me. He stepped up to the plate and really did something beautiful. I just wanted to get the honest beauty of the melody because it’s a great song.”

Honora, which takes its name from a beloved family member, comprises six original songs composed and arranged by Flea–including “Traffic Lights,” co-written by Flea, Josh Johnson, and Thom Yorke–as well as interpretations of Frank Ocean and Shea Taylor’s “Thinkin Bout You,” and tunes by George Clinton and Eddie Hazel, Jimmy Webb, and Ann Ronell.

Flea plays trumpet and bass throughout the album, 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, Thom Yorke and Nick Cave, with Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes), among others, also joining the band.
