Noah Kahan has never been afraid to turn his feelings into something the rest of us can understand. With his new album, he once again proves why his music feels less like entertainment and money grabbing, but more like a late-night conversation. After the massive success of “Stick Season,” “The Great Divide” continues his signature style of raw storytelling, his classic folk sound, and lyrics that hit close to home for listeners of all ages.

He starts off his album with “End Of August,” a deeply nostalgic and encapsulating song that had all listeners drawn in. This song resembles summer memories coming to an end, like the last day of break with a sunny day and good people.

The next songs like “Doors” and “American Cars” are upbeat and fun songs to bop to unless you listen deeply to the lyrics. Each song is amazing, with his classic sound and strong vocals. This album truly has no skips.

Later on you get the smash single and album title “The Great Divide” which sent all of America into their feels. “Haircut,” “Willing and Able,” “Spoiled” and “All Them Horses” are just a couple of my favorites. These songs are so deep and meaningful. They feature gorgeous melodies and striking lyrics.

Kahan has grown so fast because his music is authentic. He writes about normal life challenges which connects his audience and makes them not feel alone in their struggles.

Kahan is also a huge mental health advocate due to facing his own and ongoing struggles. For his audience and himself music is true medicine and a great healer for the soul. Kahan writes with such passion and heart that anyone can relate and sing along.
