Hozier’s New EP to Feature ‘Nobody’s Soldier,’ ‘July’ and a Bedouine Feature, ‘That You Are’

Hozier already has a single that has been among this year’s Song of the Summer contenders, “Too Sweet,” off the “Unheard” EP that he released back in March. Now, with a second EP due out next week, could he have a Song of the Fall in store, too? The artist announced on his social media Tuesday that his second EP of the year, “Unaired,” will be out Aug. 16.

It, too, will consist of outtakes from his 2023 “Eat Your Young” album. And, as the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 success of “Too Sweet” has proven, the reason these songs were left off the larger work had more to do with conceptual or sequencing reasons than coming up short in quality.

Hozier did not list the contents of the forthcoming EP in his posts, nor do they appear in the pre-save links for streaming apps, but Variety can confirm that it includes three songs, “Nobody’s Soldier,” “July” and “That You Are,” the last of which includes Bedouine as a featured artist. The singer has already given fans previews of two of the songs, live or on social media. He debuted “Nobody’s Soldier” in concert while headlining Lollapalooza in early August, and also posted 30 seconds’ worth of the studio version of the hard-rocking number.

He described the tune to Parade as “an anti-war song.” “July” is a more sensual number, and sounds like it could be a radio hit, if the title doesn’t make listeners too wistful for a summer season already on the wane. Hozier posted the first minute of the.
