Noah Kahan found global acclaim with his Stick Season album – and he’s just announced its followup
Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has announced his highly anticipated fourth album The Great Divide, kicking things off with its first single and title track, out now.
Arriving 24 April via Island/Mercury Records, The Great Divide finds Kahan reflecting on his rapid-but-deserved rise to global acclaim in recent years, which was supercharged by his 4x Platinum 2022 album Stick Season. That album’s title track was a breakout single which earned him numerous Grammy nominations, billions of streams, and even sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Boston’s Fenway Park.

Produced by Kahan’s Stick Season collaborator Gabe Simon and Grammy-winning producer Aaron Dessner, The Great Divide was recorded at a secluded farm outside Nashville, Gold Pacific Studio in Nashville and Dessner’s famed New York studio, Long Pond.
“The last five years have been the single most challenging, complicatedly beautiful, and life-altering of my career,” Kahan explains.
“I was somewhere I understood, and suddenly I was somewhere completely foreign. I was living in the opportunity I always wanted but felt disoriented and unsure of whether I deserved it.
“Writing for this album was a balancing act of trying to go back in time and move forward in the same moment. Songwriting has always been the way I reflect on my life, and I hope these songs show you a glimpse of what this journey has looked like.”
You can listen to the album’s lead single and title track below. A music video will be premiering during Mastercard’s 2026 commercial break at the Grammy Awards, airing this Sunday, 1 February on CBS.
