Noah Kahan is known for creating some sad tunes, but he has a warning for the emotionally stable people of this world — don’t listen to his music.
The singer’s Spotify Wrapped video went viral for his warning where he declared his music is not for those in an emotionally comfortable mood.
“Hey guys. It’s Noah Kahan. If you’re listening to this message it’s because you went through something traumatic this year and decided to listen to my music. I really appreciate it.” that,” Kahan began.
He then apologized to his fans for whatever they may be going through and shared that emotionally stable people should not listen to his music.
“Sorry for whatever you’re going through,” Kahan shared. If you are an emotionally stable person and are listening, I would consider listening to something else.”
He ended his message by sharing that it “meant the world” that people had heard his music. Kahan later retracted his earlier statement that his music was only for the distraught.
“My music is for everyone and I appreciate everyone listening to it. It means the world. I’m always overwhelmed,” his message concluded.
Kahan became famous in late 2022 thanks to his album Sticky seasonearning him a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist of 2023. The album’s title track became the most successful single released from the project and it peaked at number 9 on the chart Billboard Hot100 chart.
Kahan isn’t the only artist to offer a message to fans on Spotify Wrapped. Mitski also shared a message to fans as she revealed that her viral TikTok song “My Love Mine All Mine” almost didn’t make the cut for her most recent album.
“It’s always the song that’s almost not on the album that gets popular. For ‘The Land,’ it was ‘My Love Mine All Mine,'” she said.
“Not because we didn’t like it, but because we couldn’t figure out how to make it sound good for a while. I was kind of like ‘forget it,'” she added.
