I Was / I Am is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, released on 17 September 2021. [1] The album was released through Republic Records and UMG Recordings, Inc. [2] Three singles "Godlight", "Animal", and "Someone Like You (featuring Joy Oladokun)" was released prior to the album's release. [3]
Kahan states this album was created with the idea of "who I am as compared to who I was" in mind. [4] The album was released more than a year after Kahan's EP Cape Elizabeth, and demonstrates Kahan's ideas of personal growth and reflection, and was developed during the COVID-19 Pandemic. [5] Kahan developed this album after he returned to Los Angeles in late 2020. [6]
Kahan started developing the album with producers Joel Little and Mark Rankin over Zoom meetings. [5] Kahan was able to write about his mental health issues, breaking some of the stigma's surrounding mental illness, connecting with many listeners and helping them feel less alone. [7]
Kahan embarked on the 'I Was / I Am Tour' spanning from 14 October 2021 in St. Louis until 19 December 2021 in Phoenix. [8]
After the album was released on 17 September 2021, I Was / I Am was described as a "powerfully and unapologetically honest personal statement" by Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine and many of the songs "took on a life of their own". [9]
All tracks are written by Noah Kahan, with additional writers appearing on tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9
