34.00€
Released in 1999, Californication is the seventh studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
This album marks the return of guitarist John Frusciante to the band after his departure earlier in the decade. The sound of the album blends funk, alternative rock, and psychedelic music elements, reflecting the band's maturation in terms of songwriting and arrangements. The lyrics tackle themes such as existential emptiness, fame, and hedonism, with a reflection on Californian culture. Tracks like "Scar Tissue," "Californication," and "Otherside" are some of the most well-known from the album, which was a huge commercial and critical success. Californication solidified the Red Hot Chili Peppers as one of the most influential bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
