Noah Kahan closed his Stick Season order of Season Stick (Forever), a release featuring duets with Brandi Carlile and Gregory Alan Isakov. The latest chapter features Kahan's new single “Forever,” “You're Gonna Go Far” featuring Carlile and “Paul Revere” featuring Isakov.
“I'm excited and kind of sad to be out Forever, alongside these two dream collaborations with Brandi Carlile and Gregory Alan Isakov,” Kahan said in a statement. “First, I'm grateful and proud to share these two songs with artists who have soundtracked my entire life. Gregory and Brandy have written songs that have carried me through pain, loneliness, dramatic life changes and my entire career. I am honored to have them on this final reissue.”
He continued, “Forever is a long time. This album cycle felt like forever, and I loved every second of it. I loved living in this world. I've never felt more comfortable in my own skin, more proud of what I represented in my songwriting, and more vindicated by the response to a record that was truly an extension of my soul.”
The musician added that “the word 'forever' terrified me.” “I hate finality, there's too much uncertainty and boredom associated with 'the rest of the time,'” he said. “But now, I've discovered that forever means there is unlimited possibility. There is so much joy in the world waiting to be found. This is something that Stick Season showed me, that this year showed me. Sometimes it just takes a change of perspective.”
These three songs join the 21 previously released tracks from Kahan's 2022 LP Stick Season and its sequel in 2023 Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever). The singer has collaborated with Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Hozier, Sam Fender, Gracie Abrams and Lizzy McAlpine on the series.
Kahan, who was recently nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, noted that he is unsure of his next chapter after Stick Season. “I don't know what's next,” he said. “But I'm glad I'll find it forever.”
Last week, Kahan appeared at Spotify's Best New Artist party to perform “Everywhere, Everything,” his collaboration with Gracie Abrams, live. He also recently appeared as a musical guest on Saturday night live to perform “Dial Drunk”, from Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever)and 'Stick Season', the title track of the original LP release.
The musician is currently on his We'll Be Here Forever tour, which hits the UK and Europe this month. It continues in March in North America with dates through July. He is scheduled to perform at several summer music festivals, including Montreal's Osheaga festival and Atlanta's Shaky Knees festival.
