Noah Kahan has released his new single “The Great Divide”, the title track from his forthcoming fourth studio album, due 24 April via Mercury Records.
"The Great Divide" is available to pre-order now through The Record Hub.
A New Chapter
“The Great Divide” marks Noah Kahan’s first new music release since the global success of Stick Season. Written in the wake of a transformative period in his career, the song reflects on friendship, separation and the complexities of growing up.
Speaking about the new album, Kahan reflected on the past few years of his life and career, describing them as both challenging and life-altering. Songwriting, he noted, remains the way he processes those experiences, using music to examine identity, distance and belonging.
The Great Divide
The forthcoming album, The Great Divide, arrives on 24 April and finds Kahan working once again with producer Gabe Simon, alongside Aaron Dessner. Recorded primarily in Nashville and at Dessner’s Long Pond Studio, the project builds on the introspective songwriting that defined Stick Season while expanding its sonic palette.
The title track opens with a restrained reflection before building into a broader, more anthemic moment. Lyrically, Kahan explores childhood friendship, shame, guilt, separation, and the complicated truths tied to where he comes from.
From Vermont to Global Stages
Since the release of Stick Season in 2022, Kahan has moved from Vermont stages to sold-out headline shows at venues including Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. The album’s title track earned multiple award nominations and significant chart success, marking a turning point in his career.
With The Great Divide, Kahan returns to songwriting following that period of rapid change. The music video for “The Great Divide” premiered during the 2026 Grammy Awards broadcast in partnership with Mastercard.
Last summer’s Dublin show marked one of his largest Irish headline performances to date.
