Noah Kahan I Was / I Am

Originally released in 2021, I Was / I Am marked a major artistic step forward for Noah Kahan, further establishing the Vermont singer-songwriter as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk-pop and alternative singer-songwriter music.

Written during a period of reflection and personal growth, the album explores themes of identity, mental health, relationships, hometown roots and the tension between who we once were and who we are becoming. The title itself reflects this journey, capturing the constant evolution of self that runs throughout the record.

Building on the foundations laid by Busyhead and Cape Elizabeth, Kahan expands his sound across I Was / I Am, combining introspective storytelling with richer production, memorable melodies and the emotional honesty that has become his trademark. The album features standout tracks including Part Of Me (featuring Gracie Abrams), Someone Like You, Pride and Godlight, showcasing both his lyrical depth and growing confidence as a songwriter.

Praised for its vulnerability, authenticity and sharp songwriting, I Was / I Am became an important milestone in Noah Kahan's career and helped pave the way for the global breakthrough success that would follow with Stick Season.

This special Record Store Day edition is pressed on stunning cobalt-coloured vinyl, making it a highly collectable release for Noah Kahan fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
