WHAT IT IS: In the four years since releasing his debut single, “Young Blood,” Vermont native Kahan has amassed over 1b streams and has even toured with his personal inspiration, James Bay. Kahan’s cathartic sophomore album, I Was / I Am, candidly explores the ups and downs that come with personal growth. Through his vibrant lyricism and carefree melodies, Kahan uncovers layers of heartbreak, dependency, depression and hope, evident in the vulnerable outpouring that is his latest release, “Someone Like You” f/Joy Oladokun.
