My Take
What strikes me most about Noah Kahan is how unapologetically local he sounds. Plenty of songwriters chase universal appeal by sanding off their edges; Kahan does the opposite, writing small-town Vermont into every verse and trusting that specificity to resonate. Hurt Somebody put him on the map, but I think his real gift is emotional honesty — he treats anxiety and homesickness not as branding but as raw material. The folk-pop framing keeps things accessible without diluting the ache underneath. For a songwriter born in 1997, that level of self-knowledge is rare, and I suspect his catalog will age far better than most of his streaming-era peers.
