Music Monday Aug. 14: Started out as Noah Kahan
There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear.
CBC MUSIC, Central · Mornings with CBC Music
Now, I can’t say to someone, “You’ll like this song” (or book for that matter) because I can’t presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer to say, “You might like this” and if they don’t like it, so be it. Maybe you will find a new favorite.
I was going to start today’s post with the song, “Dial Drunk”, but rather than always throwing the newest hit at you, I decided to pick another song from Noah Kahan which may be less familiar.
But there was something familiar about it to me. I tried to place the voice and finally, I figured out it was the Canadian singer, Scott Helman.
OK. Back to Noah. This is the first song I heard from him. Yeah, it says with Post Malone, but it could be any one with face tattoos singing back-up.
Back to Scott.
To end with, here is one I hadn’t heard before …
… but I’m glad I did.

Got a few minutes for something fun? If you are able to, play Hurt Somebody and Ripple Effect simultaneously. It doesn’t sound great, but it’s close enough in key, tempo, style, and voice to be not unpleasant.
