Idol also has a new documentary about his life, slated for future release, which will be directed by Jonas Akerlund. The artist will share more details on that as the film is “currently in the final stages of production,” according to a press statement.
Idol’s new EP follows the release of his 2021 record, The Roadside EP, which included the recent hit “Bitter Taste.”
