HARDY releases four-track Sides EP featuring Blake Shelton

HARDY released Sides on October 30, 2026. Apple Music lists four songs running approximately fourteen minutes, issued by Big Loud Records under licence to Mercury Records. Blake Shelton joins him on Hell, the collection’s only guest appearance. This is a complete EP rather than an announcement of four tracks still to come.

The remaining songs are By God, King Of The Hill and Tommy Made The News. HARDY shares production duties with Zach Abend, Jordan Schmidt and David Garcia in different combinations. Abend co-produced By God, while Garcia worked with HARDY on King Of The Hill.

The collection develops musical directions previously brought together in the eight-minute Man In The Box. The label identifies acoustic songwriting, soul, country and grunge among those strands. By God was scheduled to reach country radio on November 2, a separate date from the EP’s digital release.
