WHAT IT IS: Vermont-raised singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has proved himself to be more than a one-hit-wonder. After dropping his debut album, Busyhead, in 2019, he released his folk-influenced sophomore set, I Was / I Am, last September. He’s since garnered 1.8b+ streams across his catalog and toured with his personal inspiration, James Bay. “Stick Season,” from his project of the same name, represents a massive turning point for Kahan. Rife with fluttering guitar melodies, inviting vocals and homey imagery of the Northeast, the album showcases Kahan’s vibrant lyricism and carefree melodies. The widely praised 14-track set debuted at #6 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums USA chart and #1 on Apple Music’s Alternative Albums chart.
