Hillsong Young & Free’s Aodhán King Presents Multi-Track Single

Following the release of his debut solo single “Thank You So Much Jesus” with LANY’s Paul Klein, Aodhán King from Hillsong Young & Free has just unveiled two brand new songs: “Without You” and “Pray You Never Leave.”

Both tracks produced by industry veteran Jason Ingram and Ben Ten, the Australian-born singer/songwriter wrote the songs at two different times in his life, never planning on releasing them together, but God had a different plan:

“I felt as though one song couldn’t exist without the other,” explains Aodhán. “ ‘Without You’ was originally written at a time when I was in the middle of trying to decide whether I should leave Australia and move to the US. The song is simply me asking God to light the way and go before me because there was no way I could do it without Him.

Years later I find myself living in America writing with Jason Ingram, a hero and a songwriter I’ve looked up to for many years. In that moment I was completely aware that none of this would have been possible without the kindness of God, by my side, orchestrating every detail. That day we wrote ‘Pray You Never Leave’.”

While Aodhán is currently embarking on his solo career, he is no stranger to the music industry. He has a longstanding history of success from his being in the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band Hillsong Young & Free, garnering over 1.2 billion streams in North America, multiple #1 singles, and performances at over 225 live events worldwide.

“My hope is that as you listen to these songs you would be encouraged to invite Jesus into your every moment, there’s no reason to go through life alone,” says Aodhán. “He longs to be the light unto your path and your friend through every season.”

[Album] The Dichotomy – David Kushner

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.

thedichotomytour2024

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.

In August, he hit the European festival circuit with a slate of shows that includes the iconic Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK. For the latest on David Kushner live events and how to purchase tickets, visit Kushner’s website.

After listening to the album, if there’s even one person can say that they grew closer to God, overcame adversity or decided to keep trusting God more than before, then it will all be worth it.”
