Noah Kahan released his new documentary, “Out of Body,” on April 13, which featured his thoughts about his climb to fame, and his struggles with body dysmorphia and anxiety. The documentary also features his experience playing his two nights of sold-out Fenway Park shows.
On April 24, Noah also released his new album, The Great Divide. After releasing the album, Noah released a surprise addition, The Great Divide: The Last of The Bugs, which consists of 4 songs: “Orbiter,” “Dan,” “All Them Horses”, and “A Few Of Their Own.” Combined, the album consists of 21 songs, lasting a total of 1 hour, and 36 minutes.
Noah Kahan, an American singer-songwriter from Strafford, Vermont, has released his fourth album after three and a half years of anticipation from fans and teasing on social media, under the username of ‘thelastofthebugs,’ (a reference to a lyric from his song “The View Between Villages,” released in 2022)
His tracklist is full of references to previous songs and albums, but also talks about growing past Vermont, where he grew up, and his album displays how much he’s grown since Stick Season, contrasting lyrics from previous albums to what it is like for him now. For example, in the song “Maine,” he says “If only, baby, there were cameras in the traffic lights / They’d make me a star,” while in his new song, he references the traffic lights by saying, “I know the traffic light / You can speed right by / ’Cause the camera’s down.” Noah’s new album shows how much he has grown since his last album, but also shows how far he knows he has to go.
“I worry that I’ve just wasted so much time hating who I am.” – Noah in recent interview with People’s Magazine
After years of writing and releasing heart-felt, and what some might call depressing, music, Noah has revealed his vulnerable side, with interviews and songs specifically about his struggle with body dysmorphia since childhood. According to Noah, even his mother didn’t know about his struggle with mental health until Noah’s documentary was released.
