Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan are set to release a special edition split single featuring Rodrigo’s cover of Kahan’s “Stick Season,” and Kahan’s cover of Rodrigo’s “Lacy.” Both covers were recorded during the artists’ respective appearances on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge late last year.
The seven-inch colored vinyl will be available at participating independent record stores as part of Record Store Day on April 20. Side A will have Rodrigo’s cover of Kahan’s “Stick Season,” the lead single from the Grammy-nominated singer’s 2022 album of the same name, while Kahan’s cover of “Lacy” from Rodrigo’s chart-topping sophomore album, “Guts,” is on Side B.
Kahan’s 2021 album, “I Was/I Am,” will also be released as part of Record Store Day on blue vinyl. Additionally, special edition titles from the Weeknd, Paramore, Pearl Jam, Talking Heads, David Bowie and the Beatles are set to go on sale.
Fans of Kahan and Rodrigo have been anticipating a collaboration between both artists as the “Vampire” singer revealed her interest in working with Kahan to Variety earlier this year.
“I think he’s so great and he’s very inspiring,” she said before crossing her fingers and saying a collaboration between the pair could happen “one of these days.”
Although technically this RSD release is not the collaboration audiences were anticipating, the split single is sure to be a highly sought-after release. After all, the pair of hitmakers have a lot on their plates as both artists are scheduled to perform for much of this year, with Rodrigo set to launch her first arena jaunt on Feb. 23 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, Calif.
