\n\tIt\u2019s been less than 24 hours since Noah Kahan<\/a> released his highly anticipated fourth studio album The Great Divide, and he\u2019s already dropping more music<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tKahan surprise dropped The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs \u2014 an extended version of the new album \u2014 on Friday, featuring four new tracks and bringing the track list to a massive 21 songs. Check out The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s breakdown of the album<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

\n\tInstead of tacking the new songs at the end of the album, Kahan decided to sprinkle them throughout. \u201cLighthouse\u201d is the first of the new songs, landing at No. 5 on the tracklist, sandwiched in between the already released \u201cDownfall\u201d and \u201cPaid Time Off.\u201d The next track added is \u201cStaying Still,\u201d which comes after \u201cPaid Time Off\u201d and before the album\u2019s titular track. The final two new songs, \u201cA Few of Our Own\u201d and \u201cOrbiter\u201d land much further down the album at No. 19 and No. 20, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Great Divide serves as the follow-up<\/a> to Kahan\u2019s breakthrough hit album, Stick Season, which helped transform the Vermont native from a club act to a stadium headliner. The 29-year-old announced the album in late January and dropped the music video for its first single, the titular track, during a commercial break of the 2026 Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is hard to even begin to describe what these last few years making this album has felt like,\u201d Kahan said in a release about his latest album. \u201cThe collision of fear and pressure and joy and luck and total love has left me wordless. I spent many months walking forward in complete darkness, hands out in front of me, desperate to touch something familiar that would show me I was near the light switch again.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was never really alone,\u201d Kahan continued. \u201cI don\u2019t think any of us ever truly are. I was guided through the wilderness by calm voices, by the stillness of my home state, by the total commitment of my band, producers, and team, by the steady and loving touch of my wife and family, and of course, by the constant and enduring encouragement of my fans. I am very proud of what we are doing together, and I hope we can live this dream for a long long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Kahan released a <\/a>Netflix<\/a> documentary, Noah Kahan: Out of Body. The 90-minute film, directed by Nick Sweeney, follows the singer as he prepares to make The Great Divide, standing at the crossroads of what to do in the wake of a smash hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been less than 24 hours since Noah Kahan released his highly anticipated fourth studio album The Great…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278,1868,133182],"class_list":{"0":"post-416139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-netflix","13":"tag-noah-kahan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
