Noah Kahan doesn’t mind his music being called a “snooze fest”.
The 28-year-old singer-songwriter has taken to social media to admit he takes it “as a compliment” when people bash his tunes as boring, because he would enjoy a “fun and restful” time if there was actually a “snoozing festival”.
He wrote on Instagram Stories: “When people call my music a snooze fest I take it as a compliment because to me going to an actual snoozing festival sounds fun and restful.”
Noah also joked about the idea of his crowds getting some shut-eye during his gigs and then being “refreshed and ready to go” after he has played his final song.
He added: “Everyone there just sleeping side by side refreshed and ready to go after my two hours are up.”
Noah has seen a huge surge in popularity in the last few years thanks to his 2022 album Stick Season and its title track, which was a global hit after going viral on TikTok.
The star’s sudden rise to stardom has been captured in an as-yet unnamed film.
According to Rolling Stone, director Nick Sweeney and four companies, Live Nation Productions, Federal Films, Polygram Entertainment, and RadicalMedia, have completed production on the documentary and are currently seeking a distributor to bring it to general release.
The film follows Noah after a stint on tour, including a headline show at New York’s Madison Square Garden and two at Fenway Park, Boston, with the latter having been livestreamed to support his mental health initiative The Busyhead Project.
An announcement about the documentary stated: “As his tour wraps up, he returns to Vermont to grapple with the pressures of his success, the challenge of following it up, and the personal struggles he’s never shared before.
“In this intimate look, Kahan reconnects with the people and places that shaped him, while navigating through life’s challenges and changing relationships.”
