Noah Kahan has announced the release of his highly anticipated new single, The Great Divide, marking his first new standalone music since the success of Stick Season and its expanded editions.

The singer-songwriter confirmed that the track will be released on January 30, ending a lengthy wait for fans who have been eager to hear new material. The Great Divide has already become familiar to many listeners, as Kahan has been performing the song live during his recent tours, where it quickly stood out as a fan favourite.

Kahan previously introduced the song during live shows, and audience reaction helped build momentum for an official studio release. The track is expected to continue his signature blend of introspective lyrics and folk-leaning melodies, a style that has defined his rise over the past several years.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The new single follows the enormous success of Stick Season, which became a global breakout hit and transformed Kahan into one of the most prominent voices in modern folk-pop. The album’s steady climb and viral success led to sold-out tours and widespread acclaim for its raw storytelling and emotional honesty.

While Kahan has not yet confirmed details of a new album, the release of The Great Divide has fueled speculation that a fresh project may be on the way. He has teased additional unreleased songs in recent live performances, hinting that more new music could follow.

For fans, The Great Divide represents the beginning of a new chapter for Kahan, offering a first glimpse of what comes next as he builds on the momentum of one of the most successful eras of his career.
