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.

“I’m so grateful for the Karew team, everyone at Motown Gospel and all of the producers, writers, contributors, etc we’ve worked with to make this release happen,” says Clark Sheard. “It’s been a while since I’ve released a solo project and I wanted to make sure that it was a special one for the fans.

They have been asking for it, and I wanted to make sure that it was not only musically pleasing, but the message would cause someone to grow their faith in God. 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.”

Intro:

Get up, get up, get up…

Verse 1:

I heard about an ancient story

About the man at the pool of Bethesda

He’s been there for thirty eight years

Waiting on the angel to stir the water

And asked the man

Do you want to get well

Resp: Do you want to get well

Yeah……

Do you really, really want to get well

Ehh…, Ehh…

Chorus:

So

You better get up

Pick up your bed and walk

Don’t sit down there feeling sorry for yourself

Don’t you know you’ve got all that you need

To be and become all you really want to be

Get up

Pick up your bed and walk

Don’t sit down there feeling sorry for yourself

Don’t you know you’ve got all that you need

To be and become all you really want to be

When the band began the recording process in 2003, they had signed with a record label to release the collection of songs, preparing them for the biggest stages and audiences they’d ever known. But when their dream took a turn, and the record label dropped them, the rejection brought on fears and doubts like never before.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown, the band realizes just how important that rollercoaster was. “The journey of The Beautiful Letdown reminded us why we started playing music in the first place. It united us and gave us a deep appreciation for each other and the people that showed up to sing with us.”
