Hardy Eager for Boygenius Collaboration: “I’m Here for It”

Attractive Headline: Indie-Rock Trio Boygenius Among Hardy’s Surprising Fans
Two years ago, the indie-rock trio Boygenius publicly expressed their admiration for Hardy in an interview. Comprising Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker, the band revealed themselves to be secret fans of the country singer. Dacus mentioned that after a recent Hardy performance in L.A., she “lost brain cells,” complimenting his excellent songwriting. This connection seems to be mutual, as Hardy acknowledged the band’s fandom thanks to a video forwarded to him by his sister. He has since been in communication with the trio, describing the experience as unexpectedly cool and special.
Potential Hardy and Boygenius Collaboration
The prospect of a Hardy-Boygenius collaboration is exciting, especially with the growing trend of country artists working alongside rock and pop musicians. Hardy is open to the possibility, stating, “Dude, I’m here for it.” His enthusiasm suggests that such a crossover could create a refreshing and innovative soundscape, enticing fans from both genres.
Hardy’s Musical Inspirations: From Country to Metal
Amidst discussing his new album, “Country! Country!”, Hardy shared his current musical influences with Emegypt’s Nashville Now. Leading his playlist is Sleep Token, a melodic metal band known for their unique sound and anonymous personas. “Metalheads love to critique Sleep Token, but it’s very fresh,” Hardy comments. He appreciates the band’s distinct melodies and mysterious aesthetic, highlighting a “big weird sexual energy” within their music.
