HARDY Announces COUNTRY! EP
On Thursday (April 10), the genre-bending superstar took to social media to unveil the exciting news with fans.
“What’s up guys, HARDY here. I’m dropping two song tonight, and I’m extremely excited about it. They’re both going to be a part of an EP that I’m putting out May 2. Five song EP. The EP is titled COUNTRY!,” he announced in a social media video. “I couldn’t get my album done in time for the tour, but I put my foot down, and I was like, I want to have music out before this tour. The fans deserve it. I want to play new songs. It’s a new chapter of my life. Let’s do it. So the EP is coming out May 2nd, but I promise you there is a big ol album coming out later this year. Love y’all!”
Two New Songs: “Favorite Country Songs” and “Buck On The Wall”
HARDY also revealed that he will be releasing two new songs from the project on Friday (April 11) from the forthcoming EP, “Favorite Country Song” and “Buck On The Wall,” marking his first new music of 2025.
“Two new songs — I’m extremely excited,” HARDY shared in a statement via a press release. “Both songs remind me of a very special place, the place where I grew up, the place where I became who I am—my deer camp. It’s now the only place I have to go home to, since somebody lives in my childhood home. I feel like it’s been a long time coming to put out some music that gets back to my roots.” He continued, “You guys deserve to hear new HARDY music before the JIM BOB world tour this summer, and I’m excited to share this new chapter with you, starting TONIGHT🤘🏼.”
