Noah Kahan reveals new album ‘The Great Divide’

Noah Kahan has revealed plans for a new album titled ‘The Great Divide’.

The folk pop singer is set to release his fourth studio record on April 24. The project follows his 2022 commercial breakthrough ‘Stick Season’, and is available to pre order and pre save here.

Sharing more insight into the record on Instagram, Kahan reflected on the ideas behind it, writing: “From a long silence forms a divide, a great expanse demanding attention. I stare across it. I see old friends, my father, my mother, my siblings, my younger self, the great state of Vermont. I want to scream these feelings, to gesticulate wildly at the figures on the other side, but my voice has grown hoarse and muted after years of climbing a ladder towards the wild, spiraling dreams that have materialized in front of me.

“Instead, I wrote them down next to a piano in Nashville, next to a pond in Guilford Vermont, in a legendary studio in upstate New York, on a farm with a firetower in Only, Tennessee. The songs are the words I would say if I could. They are the fears I dance with in the moments before I drift off to sleep. The music here is my best attempt to delve deeper into the people, places, and feelings that have made me who I am. I am grateful for all of it, for all of you, for listening to them, if you choose to do so.”

Kahan also confirmed the album’s first single will be released this Friday (January 30).

While new releases have been limited in recent years, the singer still made a major impact on UK stages last summer. He appeared on the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday night at Glastonbury, where he welcomed Laufey as a guest, and went on to play large scale shows in Cardiff, Dublin and London as part of BST Hyde Park. The London date featured surprise appearances from Lewis Capaldi, Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez.

He is also scheduled to appear at Bonnaroo later this year, joining a bill that includes The Strokes, Turnstile, Skrillex and many others.
