Flea puts his own instrumental spin on Frank Ocean\u2019s \u201cThinkin Bout You,\u201d which is accented by strings arranged by Bright Eyes\u2019 Nate Walcott and upright bass from Anna Butterss. It will be found on his debut solo album<\/a>, Honora<\/em>, due March 27 on Nonesuch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that record came out, it really blew me away,\u201d Flea says of Ocean\u2019s 2012 debut, Channel Orange<\/em>. \u201cI listened to it 10 million times. It was something I just couldn\u2019t stop listening to. I loved it so much and still do. Just one of those real watershed moment records for me. \u2018Thinkin Bout You\u2019 is one of the many great songs on that record, andI thought it would be fun to play on trumpet. Then I went to Nate Wolcott, who plays keyboards on Honora<\/em> 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\u2019s a great song.\u201d<\/p>\n
