Noah Kahan has teamed up with Sam Fender on a collaborative new single, ‘Homesick’ – you can listen to it below.The US singer-songwriter recently teased a joint song with a mystery artist, with many fans correctly guessing that Fender was singing on it. Later, the ‘Seventeen Going Under’ star confirmed the collab on social media.Today (January 19) Kahan has released a new version of ‘Homesick’ featuring Fender.
The original version of the track appears on Kahan’s 2022 album ‘Stick Season’. Per a press release, the cut tackles his “complicated relationship” with his Vermont hometown.On the single, Kahan addresses the juxtaposing feelings of wanting to escape and chase his dreams but also always wanting to return home.
His new collaborator Fender often writes about his life growing up in North Shields – a working-class, former shipbuilding town in England’s northeast.Speaking about how their collab came about, Kahan explained: “When I first heard Sam Fender’s music, I stopped what I was doing, started [playing] ‘Dead Boys’ from the beginning, and listened four more times. It was everything I loved about a song.“I followed this artist like a crazy person, checking every day to see if he had dropped new music.
Reading every lyric and looking for his interpretation of what they meant. I must have listened to ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ 1,000 times before ‘Seventeen Going Under’ came out, and I had never felt so connected to a song.“I come from a very different place than Sam did, that much was clear in the lyrics, but it felt like I had grown up the same.
