Five-time GRAMMY-nominated, eight-time GMA Dove Award recipient and Platinum-selling singer / songwriter Brandon Heath releases his ninth studio record and second LP with Centricity Music, The Ache. the album holds the tension of loss and longing, sharing the intrinsic ache experienced this side of heaven while pointing listeners to the things that matter most to Heath — family, faith, community and his ultimate belief that there is life after death.

While The Ache was inspired by hard moments, the album’s 11 originals, all co-written by Heath, were also influenced by the life growing all around him, even in the midst of sadness.

“Every record I release is a snapshot of the season I’m in, and I thought this was going to be a record about mourning,” Heath admits after watching his mom live out her final days. “But I’ve learned that two things can exist at the same time. You can talk about heavy things with a joyful spirit, and I have totally embraced the paradox in this season. I knew there was going to be sadness, but I also knew there was going to be joy because I knew where my mom was going.”

The Ache features the steady acoustic-pop single at radio now, “Gospel Truth,” which sums up how Heath reconciles the heartbreaking realities of this life with what he knows to be true of God.

“It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve written in a long time,” he confesses of the track that reads like a personal mantra and is featured by The Recording Academy. “It just fits me so well, and it tells the story of who I am and what’s important to me.”

The album’s lead radio hit, “He Does (Oh By the Way),” is a cleverly penned, choir-assisted, celebratory reminder about God’s role as a consistent provider and faithful friend. Heath co-wrote the song with Kyle Williams (We Are Messengers, TobyMac), who produced the majority of The Ache along with songs produced by Micah Kuiper (Jeremy Camp, Anne Wilson), Cason Cooley (NEEDTOBREATHE, Ellie Holcomb) and Andrew Bergthold (We The Kingdom).

While careful to avoid an overarching tone of melancholy that reflected his inner turmoil, The Ache doesn’t shy away from the heartache he was experiencing in real time either. After The Covenant School shooting, where Brandon’s oldest daughter was already enrolled for this year, Brandon wrote “Scars” to honor his longtime friend, the school’s chaplain Matthew Sullivan.

“I feel like in my grief, God showed up and gave me medicine to disseminate immediately to my friends,” shares Heath. “That song reminded me of our responsibility as artists: to say the things we don’t know how to say, put it to music, and then get it out to the masses as soon as possible and let it do its healing work.”

The Ache also features the bittersweet “The Other Side of the End” and the poignant, heaven-forward “Can We Go Home Now?” while the simplicity of his daughters’ innocent nighttime prayers shaped “Thank You. Need You. Love You.”

Perhaps the intrinsic ache we all experience this side of heaven points us to the things that matter most. “It feels like a thing that God put in us. It’s this ability to feel connected to people,” remarks Heath, adding, “This has been my season of sorrow, but it helps me to engage with it just by writing about it. That’s what music has always done for me.”

Taking the new music, hit songs and fan favorites on the road, Heath performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage last month and launches his headline, “God Is Good” acoustic tour Oct. 11. The Children International-sponsored tour features special guest Jesse Labelle and is being brought to select cities by ShowOps Presents.

Today, multi-platinum singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist David Kushner releases his epic, autobiographical, 17-song full-length debut, The Dichotomy, via Miserable Music Group. The project tells the story of his own spiritual, philosophical and ultimately musical odyssey.

The album takes us on a journey from alienation, despair and sin to a tentative acceptance of faith, while acknowledging that gnawing doubt will always exist. Kushner’s basso profundo vocals outline a life in darkness, while a soaring falsetto offers glimpses of the divine light which continually beckons him.

Like its title, it is a study in opposites—God and Satan, light and darkness, good and evil, righteousness and sin, physical and spiritual, pleasure and pain—a meditation on mortality, internal conflict and the desire for awakening through revelation and transcendence.

“The music and songs came first, which led me to formulate the meaning of the full project,” explains the 24-year-old Chicago native, now living in Nashville, who built his multi-million social media presence on TikTok, first posting shirtless thirst-trap workout photos of his abs before segueing into giving life advice until finally embracing his destiny as a musician less than three years ago.

A music video for “Darkerside” is also out now, making its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, Nickmusic, and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. The track finds Kushner asking a higher power to help guide him as part of The Dichotomy’s final section tracing his redemption.

“The music is about my faith,” explained Kushner, “but it’s also about my various experiences, dealing in the human condition and finding personal meaning that applies to everyone.” In signature David Kushner fashion, the moody video bubbles over with symbolism, lush cinematography, and captivating, understated choreography.

Fans can order an exclusive gatefold vinyl of The Dichotomy and three exclusive box sets with signed CDs only at the official David Kushner webstore.
