Mar 26, 2026In ‘Honora’, Flea has found a way to redefine his humble musical roots, far from a vanity project, it’s a deeply considered, richly textured body of work.
-
Mar 27, 2026Honora is never dilettantish, though: it’s sincere, exploratory and soulful.

Classic Rock MagazineApr 3, 2026As first albums go, Honora is a risky play, but it's one that just about manages to pay off. [May 2026, p.75]

The WireMar 23, 2026It feels like a self-conscious attempt to approximate jazz without ever quite committing to it, no doubt partly due to the fact that Flea's horn chops are somewhat rudimentary, favouring languid lines that could generously be seen as resembling Chet Baker at his most unbothered. ....
