Excerpt from the Article…
Smith recently told SPIN that I’m With You, which features cover art by transgressive British bad boy Damien Hirst, would flirt with different styles of African pop, partially fueled by his own love of recent comp The Afrosound of Colombia. He elaborates a little when it came to his favorite track on the new album. “There’s a song called ‘Ethiopia’ that was inspired by a trip to Africa that Josh and Flea went on,” he says. “It puts a smile on my face. It’s in seven… but it’s a good seven. It’s not fusion seven, it’s like funk seven—[sings] Dada doo da doo da doo dat, Dada doo da doo da doo dat.”
