American Idol 2020 winner Noah Thompson releases debut EP ‘Middle of God Knows Where’
American Idol 2020 winner Noah Thompson, who has over one million monthly listeners, delivers his long awaited debut EP Middle of God Knows Where, available now.
Featuring fan-favorites, Noah’s debut project showcases the growth as an artist, the former construction worker turned country music star, has achieved in just one year.
“I’m so excited to have this project out, and I am so proud that I’m finally releasing two songs that I co-wrote,” Noah said in a press statement. “I named the EP Middle of God Knows Where because I felt the title track is the heart of this project and one of the first I ever co-wrote that I felt was me. I’m so excited for the fans to hear it.”
Noah co-wrote two tracks, including ‘Us No More’ and ‘Middle of God Knows Where’
Staying true to himself with songs embodying his humble roots while adding a rock edge into the mix, Noah is finally giving fans a glimpse into his songwriting ability, as the project includes two cuts co-written by the singer including “Middle of God Knows Where” and “Us No More.” The compelling title track takes the listener on a ride through the city of heartbreak and the aftermath of emotions felt when an ex leaves, while the spirited but smooth “Us No More” is a heartbreak anthem, delivering the hard truth to the gossip mill that happens post-breakup.
The EP also features his American Idol original single “One Day Tonight,” which hit No. 1 on iTunes All Genre and Country charts upon release and is still racking up an over 1 million on-demand streams per week.
Earlier this year, Noah returned to American Idol to mentor this year’s finalists and perform a special duet version of the track with last year’s runner-up HunterGirl.
The project also includes “She Gets It From Me,” his latest track “Make You Rich,” and his stunning and career-changing cover of Rihanna’s “Stay.” His performance of the well-known song changed his trajectory on the competition show, highlighting his potential leading him to ultimately being crowned as the winner of American Idol.
