Antidote
Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. This week, Noah Kahan lands the top spot with “The Great Divide”, the first track from the US singer-songwriter’s upcoming album of the same name (out 24 April). The rousing, emotional track finds Kahan reflecting on a relationship with someone he used to know—and reevaluating everything. “You know I think about you all the time/And my deep misunderstanding of your life,” he sings. “And how bad it must have been for you back then/And how hard it was to keep it all inside.” It’s a moving first look at his next move—and what he might explore following the staggering success of 2022’s <i>Stick Season</i>. Listen to it now, and look out for the latest tracks from Arlo Parks, Dua Saleh with Bon Iver, and sombr. Like all the artists featured, Antidote is always evolving—so keep checking back, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
