Fans of singer-songwriter Noah Kahan can mark their calendars for April 13, as Netflix prepares to unveil his highly anticipated documentary, ‘Out of Body’. The streaming service recently shared a trailer that provides an intriguing glimpse into Kahan’s journey, exploring his thoughts on success and the personal challenges that accompany his rise to fame.
In the trailer, Kahan, who turns 30 shortly after the release, candidly reveals his post-show routine. “Usually I’ll check Twitter to see what the response to the show was,” he admits before elaborating on the emotional rollercoaster that follows the feedback. “And if it’s not good, I barricade myself in my room and order Taco Bell. And if it is good, I barricade myself in my room and order Taco Bell,” he adds with a touch of humour.

The documentary delves deeper into Kahan’s psyche, capturing moments of self-reflection as he grapples with the pressures of his career. At one point, he expresses doubts about whether he has reached his ‘peak’ in the music industry. “I think I was close to giving up music. I didn’t know what my own voice was,” he recalls, noting that returning to his home state of Vermont helped him reconnect with his artistic identity. “It finally felt like there was some kind of story in the music and then it became this huge thing,” he reflects.
The trailer also features heartfelt moments, including a scene with Kahan’s mother, Lauri Berkenkamp. As she sifts through a family photo album, she poignantly expresses that Kahan’s music makes their family struggles feel like simply being human. This insight encapsulates the familial support that plays a significant role in Kahan’s creative process.
Throughout the trailer, Kahan openly discusses the dichotomy between his personal happiness and the pressure to create music from a place of struggle. “I know that I’m most happy when I’m home and when I’m making music,” he admits. Yet, he reveals a deep-seated fear that his artistic output is tied to his pain and challenges. “I have to be at my mum’s house, I have to be in Vermont, I have to be struggling and in pain to make music,” he expresses.
In a light-hearted moment towards the end of the trailer, Kahan poses a humorous question about the dangers of different professions. When he queries if being “a firefighter and a blacksmith” is more hazardous than being a “singer-songwriter with folk-pop tendencies,” the response is clear. “Singer-songwriter,” comes the reply, eliciting a laugh that underscores Kahan’s blend of introspection and humour.
According to the official description of ‘Out of Body’, the documentary captures Kahan at a pivotal point in his career, as he navigates the complexities of newfound global stardom. Following the success of his album ‘Stick Season’, which was celebrated for its poignant reflections on rural life, the documentary tracks Kahan’s creative journey as he begins to work on a follow-up album amid escalating pressures.
The synopsis explains that the film portrays a “whirlwind year” for Kahan, filled with sold-out tours and widespread acclaim. It reveals how he returns to his Vermont roots and family during this tumultuous time, seeking a sense of home and creative inspiration. Additionally, the film addresses Kahan’s struggle to reconcile his public persona with his personal experiences, culminating in a search for authenticity within himself.
As fans eagerly await the release of ‘Out of Body’, the trailer has certainly set expectations high. With its blend of humour, candidness, and emotional depth, the documentary promises to provide an intimate look at Kahan’s life, illuminating the artist behind the music.
Noah Kahan’s ‘Out of Body’ will be available for global viewing on Netflix starting April 13, offering fans a unique insight into the mind of one of today’s rising folk-pop stars.
