Distinguished musicians Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan, hailing from diverse backgrounds, are on the brink of unveiling an exclusive split single.

Rodrigo has skyrocketed in prominence as a singer-songwriter and actress. Her smash single "driver's license," paired with her standout role in her Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, solidified her as a multifaceted artist with a magnetic presence.

On the other hand, Kahan emerged from the picturesque town of Strafford, Vermont. Kahan's small-town upbringing is reflected in the authenticity of his music. His 2018 single, "Hurt Somebody," garnered widespread acclaim, catapulting him into the spotlight. Kahan's introspective lyrics and folk-pop sound are a testament to the sincerity embedded in his upbringing.

This collaborative venture showcases Rodrigo's adept cover of Kahan's "Stick Season" and, reciprocally, Kahan's rendition of Rodrigo's "lacy," meticulously recorded during their memorable appearances on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in the preceding year.
