Info for The Great Divide

„The Great Divide“ ist Noah Kahans erste neue Musikveröffentlichung seit dem weltweiten Erfolg von „Stick Season“. Der Song entstand im Zuge einer einschneidenden Phase in seiner Karriere und reflektiert über Freundschaft, Trennung und die Komplexität des Erwachsenwerdens.

Im Gespräch über das neue Album blickte Kahan auf die letzten Jahre seines Lebens und seiner Karriere zurück und beschrieb sie als herausfordernd und lebensverändernd. Das Songwriting, so merkte er an, sei nach wie vor die Art und Weise, wie er diese Erfahrungen verarbeite, indem er Musik nutze, um Identität, Distanz und Zugehörigkeit zu hinterfragen.

Kahan reflektiert über die Inspiration hinter dem Projekt: „Aus einer langen Stille entsteht eine Kluft, eine große Weite, die Aufmerksamkeit verlangt. Ich blicke hinüber. Ich sehe alte Freunde, meinen Vater, meine Mutter, meine Geschwister, mein jüngeres Ich, den großartigen Bundesstaat Vermont. Ich möchte diese Gefühle herausschreien, wild zu den Gestalten auf der anderen Seite gestikulieren, aber meine Stimme ist heiser und gedämpft geworden nach Jahren des Kletterns auf einer Leiter hin zu den wilden, spiralförmigen Träumen, die sich vor mir materialisiert haben.“

„The Great Divide“ erscheint am 24. April und zeigt Kahan erneut in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Produzenten Gabe Simon sowie Aaron Dessner. Das Projekt, das hauptsächlich in Nashville und in Dessners Long Pond Studio aufgenommen wurde, baut auf dem introspektiven Songwriting auf, das „Stick Season“ prägte, und erweitert gleichzeitig dessen Klangpalette.

Der Titelsong beginnt mit einer zurückhaltenden Reflexion, bevor er sich zu einem weitreichenderen, hymnischen Moment steigert. Textlich beschäftigt sich Kahan mit Freundschaften aus der Kindheit, Scham, Schuldgefühlen, Trennung und den komplexen Wahrheiten, die mit seiner Herkunft verbunden sind.

Seit der Veröffentlichung von „Stick Season“ im Jahr 2022 hat Kahan den Sprung von den Bühnen Vermonts zu ausverkauften Headliner-Shows in Veranstaltungsorten wie dem Madison Square Garden und dem Fenway Park geschafft. Der Titelsong des Albums erhielt mehrere Award-Nominierungen und feierte bedeutende Chart-Erfolge, was einen Wendepunkt in seiner Karriere markierte.

Noah Kahan
No matter how far you go, you bring home along too.

Within two short years, music quite literally carried 22-year-old singer, songwriter, and artist Noah Kahan around the world—a long way from his native Strafford, VT (pop. 1,045) and the 133-acre tree farm where he resides. On the trip, the alternative troubadour notched an international hit in the form of “Hurt Somebody” [feat. Julia Michaels], which tallied 200 million-plus streams in the span of a year, went triple-platinum in Australia and gold in six other countries, and was the third most played song on Australian Top 40 radio in all of 2018. Additionally, he performed the single on Late Night with Stephen Colbert during his late-night television debut.

As Noah steadily averaged over 5 million-plus monthly listeners on Spotify, his songs “Young Blood” and “False Confidence” racked up millions of streams and he sold out tours in North America, Europe, and the UK. Not to mention, he garnered acclaim from Billboard, Stereogum, Clash, Idolator, and more. In the midst of this whirlwind he assembled his highly anticipated upcoming debut album Busyhead to be released on 6/14.

For as much as the road twisted and turned, the journey led right to the album...

“My life has taken a 180° turn,” he admits. “I’m on a very different path than what I thought I would do. I feel nostalgic for a time when I was younger and had less to think about. I had the latitude to be whimsical, free, and young without knowing what’s going to happen. I get nostalgic for the locale where I grew up, because the scenery is so beautiful. Going from this to bigger cities and tours is crazy for me. The transition informs the storytelling. I’m getting a little more cunning and self-deprecating. The truth is—regardless of where I’ve gone—my parents still yell at me to pick up the dogs’ shit when I’m back home,” he laughs.

The first single “Mess” illuminates his marked growth as a songwriter and storyteller by way of its biting lyrics and undeniable sing-a-long. The song underscores a heartwarming and often hilarious portrait of hometown longing.

On the hook, he chants, “I’d move back home forever, I’ll feed the dogs, and I’ll put all my pieces back together where they belong, and I’ll say, ‘I’m mess!’”

“I was really overwhelmed with a lot of the stuff going on in my life,” he goes on. “I was super happy, but it was a lot to process. So, I went home from the studio for a bit. I relaxed and started writing. In doing so, I came up with this cool idea about actually going home and what that means. I’m wondering if I should go home and leave everything behind. Would it bring me more happiness? Would I be able to connect with others? I think it brings the whole concept of the record together for me.”

In the end, Noah makes the kind of music that can travel with you forever, but it feels even better at home.

“I’d love for everyone to hear this true and honest description of my life and maybe come away being more honest with themselves,” he leaves off. “That’s what I love about music. I feel less vulnerable and alone when I hear something I relate to. I hope it can inspire people on their own journeys.” (Noah Kahan)
