Folk-Pop Singer Releases Expanded Fourth Album with Four New Tracks Just Hours After Launch

Less than 24 hours after the release of his highly anticipated fourth album, folk-pop singer Noah Kahan has shared a new version featuring four additional songs.

The surprise release, titled “The Great Divide” Extended Version “The Last of the Bugs,” was announced by The Hollywood Reporter on April 25, 2026. The extended version expands upon the original 17-track album with four new tracks, though specific details about the added songs were not disclosed in the announcement.

The original album, “The Great Divide,” marks Kahan’s fourth studio release and follows his breakthrough success with “Stick Season.” The album explores themes of life after fame, changes in personal relationships, and his connection to his home state of Vermont, frequently referencing local landmarks such as Route 89.

Kahan had previously detailed some of these struggles in his Netflix documentary “Out of Body,” but noted that the real exploration of his post-breakthrough experiences comes through the music on “The Great Divide.” The album is described as expansive, featuring several songs that exceed five minutes in length.

The extended version was released as a surprise drop, continuing a pattern of unexpected releases from the artist. No further details about the release format, availability on streaming platforms, or promotional plans for the extended version were provided in the initial announcement.
