About Noah Kahan
••      Raised in rural Strafford, Vermont, where his family owned a tree farm, Noah Kahan is a singer/songwriter of folk~infused pop in the vein of Ben Howard and Vance Joy. Writing songs since the age of eight and growing into a raspy vocal delivery, he was in high school when he approached friends in the music business about helping him produce and upload some of his work to music~sharing sites. After eventually coming to the attention of producer Joel Little (Lorde, Broods), who offered to collaborate, Kahan signed with Republic Records at the age of 20. The label released his songs “Young Blood,” “Hold It Down,” and “Sink” in quick succession as official singles in the first half of 2017. The second half of the year included a tour in support of the Strumbellas. ~ Marcy Donelson
Review
by Bryan Kress
••      Confronting a faulty relationship can be an uncomfortable situation, but singer-songwriter Noah Kahan is handling it as delicately as possible on his new single “Hurt Somebody.”
••      “‘Hurt Somebody’ is about the paralyzing fear of not being able to cut loose ends — even if it’s ultimately for the greater good,” Kahan tells Billboard. “Ending things can be painful, and ‘Hurt Somebody’ illuminates the inner dialogue of trying to stomach the weight of that decision.”
••      Kahan comes from a small town in Vermont, which makes it no surprise that he’s having to see things with a new perspective following the rapid success of his debut single “Young Blood” earlier this year. The latest track is more scaled back with just a muted guitar melody and stomping rhythm, but it allows the songwriter to showcase his ability to blend mature themes with a folk~pop twist.
••      The 20~year old is still new to the scene, but if he can navigate a tough conversation as charmingly as on “Hurt Somebody,” he just might come out of this unscathed.

“Hurt Somebody” Lyrics
Noah Kahan
1.)      Taking it slowly
I’m afraid to be lonely
Nobody told me
It’s harder than I thought to tell the truth
It’s gonna leave you in pieces
All alone with your demon
And I know that we need this
But I’m too afraid to follow through
2.)      Hold me close and I’ll pone it
Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I don’t speak
And I hate that I let you starve me
Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
3.)      Don’t know where the time went
Stuck in a wrong mind set
I let the oose bend
When I know that I’m alone and need to break
You got me searching for a reason
To keep me from leavin’
And that I have trouble breathing
I give myself another chance to stay
4.)      Hold me close and I’ll pone it
Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I don’t speak
And I hate that I let you starve me
Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
