Noah Kahan is keeping his writing muscle active while on tour.
His world tour for The Great Divide stops at Boston’s Fenway Park Tuesday for the first of four sold-out shows. Even mid-tour, Noah is already thinking about his next album. He says he didn’t do that on his last tour, and it cost him.
When he later tried to write The Great Divide, he fell into depression and anxiety. He had what he calls an “OCD meltdown” and went back on medication. This time, he’s taking a different approach.
“Now I’m making sure I’m always exercising the muscle,” he says. He keeps creating and exploring himself so he won’t get overwhelmed by praise or criticism. He wants to keep control of the creative process as things get crazy.
Noah also loves when fans know the words. “That’s the best feeling in the world,” he says. “There’s a lot of lyrics in there, so people’s linguistic skills are definitely high right now. And people knowing the lyrics always means the world to me.”
