Singles from Stick Season (album)

Stick Season is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan. Produced by Gabe Simon, it was released on October 14, 2022, by Mercury Records and Republic Records. The album was supported by two singles: the title track and "Northern Attitude". An expanded edition of the album, titled Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever), was released on June 9, 2023, with seven additional tracks, including an extended version of "The View Between Villages".[2] Another version of the album, titled Stick Season (Forever), will be released on February 9, 2024, featuring all the collaborations and three original songs, of which two are the collaborations "You're Gonna Go Far" and "Paul Revere" and one is the single "Forever".[3]

Background

Kahan began writing the album in his hometown of Strafford, Vermont, in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Periods of loneliness, burnout from industry pressures, and self-discovery inspired him to distance himself from his previous indie pop sound with a more folk-centric sound, being inspired by Phoebe Bridgers and Sam Fender to incorporate "unprecedented detail" into his writing.[4]

In an interview with WPTZ shortly after the album's release, Kahan described the album as a "love letter to New England".[5]

Singles

On July 8, 2022, the album's title track was released as the lead single. Kahan began teasing the song on social media in the fall of 2020, and it would grow in popularity on TikTok in the two years prior to its official release.[6] The second single "Northern Attitude" was released on September 16, 2022.[7]

On July 18, 2023, Kahan released "Dial Drunk" featuring Post Malone. Kahan described feeling "shock and excitement" that Post wanted to sing on this track and write his own verse.[8]

On September 15, 2023, Kahan released "Call Your Mom" featuring Lizzy McAlpine.

On October 6, 2023, Kahan released "She Calls Me Back" featuring Kacey Musgraves.

On November 10, 2023, Kahan released "Northern Attitude" featuring Hozier.

On December 1, 2023, Kahan released "Everywhere, Everything" featuring Gracie Abrams.

On January 19, 2024, Kahan released "Homesick" featuring Sam Fender.[9]

Critical reception

Writing for the Associated Press, Elise Ryan wrote that the album's material "feel like songs both longtime listeners and newer fans will want to belt back to Kahan—not because they're produced for stadiums or arenas, but because they're full of nostalgic melodies that will resonate far beyond New England."[10] Marcy Donelson of AllMusic rated the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and described it as a "nostalgic" album that "explores life transitions including leaving home as a young adult, negotiating a pandemic, and getting help for mental health issue."[11]
