Noah Kahan Patrick McCormack It’s been less than 24 hours since Noah Kahan released his highly anticipated fourth studio album The Great Divide, and he’s already dropping more music.
Kahan surprise dropped The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs — an extended version of the new album — on Friday, featuring four new tracks and bringing the track list to a massive 21 songs. Check out The Hollywood Reporter‘s breakdown of the album here.
Instead of tacking the new songs at the end of the album, Kahan decided to sprinkle them throughout. “Lighthouse” is the first of the new songs, landing at No. 5 on the tracklist, sandwiched in between the already released “Downfall” and “Paid Time Off.” The next track added is “Staying Still,” which comes after “Paid Time Off” and before the album’s titular track. The final two new songs, “A Few of Our Own” and “Orbiter” land much further down the album at No. 19 and No. 20, respectively.

The Great Divide serves as the follow-up to Kahan’s 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.
“It is hard to even begin to describe what these last few years making this album has felt like,” Kahan said in a release about his latest album. “The 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.
“I was never really alone,” Kahan continued. “I don’t 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.”
Earlier this month, Kahan released a Netflix 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.
