AceShowbiz - Noah Kahan made a special appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, delivering a heartfelt four-song set that included the premiere of two new songs from his forthcoming album, The Great Divide.
The performance opened with "American Cars," one of the new tracks Kahan had teased online before. The full rendition featured him and his band harmonizing delicately, singing the lines, "You know that I miss you, you always come running back / Whenever I ask, whenever I ask."
Following this, Kahan performed the title track, "The Great Divide," showcasing the emotional depth expected from his upcoming release. He then shifted gears to play "Orange Juice," a popular song from his 2022 breakthrough album, Stick Season.
Between songs, Kahan lightened the mood by joking about the generally somber tone of his music. He quipped, "The songs are really sad, I know that, so thank you guys for keeping your smiles on your faces. I'm leaving my Lexapro for you guys - I figure we can treat it like a take-one, leave-one penny system. Ten milligrams, severe side effects."
This Tiny Desk session offers fans an intimate preview of what to expect from The Great Divide, highlighting Kahan’s signature melancholic yet captivating songwriting style.
