David Kushner arrived in the Top 10 of the Official Singles Chart last week like the sun breaking through the clouds.
The 22 year old singer-songwriter (seemingly) came out of nowhere a few weeks ago with his brand new single Daylight, a haunting, gothic ballad indebted to the likes of Lana Del Rey and The National.
It became David's first Top 10 hit in the UK, and is currently in its second week of challenging for the country's Number 1 single - right now in contention with former chart-topping trance banger Miracle.
With his career exploding and the sky seemingly the limit, we caught up with David as he puts the finishing touches to his debut record in LA. We talk Daylight's success, the influence of Lana Del Rey, how his faith inspires his writing and the awkward conversation he'll probably have to have with Lewis Capaldi later this summer...
You too, thank you so much for having me.
It's hard to even know [where to begin] because everything's happened so fast for me. I'm still, in this moment, processing everything. It's just surreal. I'm filled with gratitude and I'm just so grateful to be able to make the world a better place one song at a time. That's always been a motivator for me, to see the impact that my art can have on the world. This is the biggest release I've ever had...it warms my heart to know what this song means to people.
Yeah, 100%. I would say it's the most meaningful and personal song I've made to date. It has a lot of biblical references, which I like to incorporate lyrically. It's the most important thing to me, my faith. I had the idea of creating this song from a certain part of this Bible, from this disciple named Paul. He talked a lot of evil forces in the world [and how to resist].

Bupkis can be loosely translated into English as “nothing” — which is the comedic point of Pete Davidson’s eponymous, semi-autobiographical series premiering May 4 on Peacock.Think of “Bupkis” as a “Seinfeld”-type “show about nothing” … but writ large.“I think our goal was to capture the relentless and absurd reality that is Pete’s world,” said showrunner Judah Miller, who co-created and co-wrote “Bupkis” with Davidson and Dave Sirus. (Stacy Keach delivers the opening, jokey “legal announcement” in his unmistakable baritone.)“When we were coming up with ideas, there were no fictitious concepts or situations that were going to rival the opportunities for comedy and satire that Pete’s actual life provides,” Miller said.
Alison Herman TV Critic “Your life is fascinating,” a friend tells comedian Pete Davidson, in character as comedian Pete Davidson. “I don’t know what it’s like to live it, but goddamn, do we have fun watching it.” It’s never a good sign when we have to be told, rather than shown, how interesting a person or project is meant to be. Yet that’s precisely the position in which “Bupkis” decides to put itself. The Peacock comedy is the second Davidson vehicle to draw heavily from the “Saturday Night Live” alum’s autobiography, after “The King of Staten Island” in 2020. In the style of director Judd Apatow, that feature film was already bloated; “Bupkis” takes the movie’s two-and-a-half-hour tale and stretches it out for another four, to diminishing returns.

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor The New York Dolls’ wildly original debut album got Martin Scorsese through the making of “Mean Streets” in 1973. Years later, Dolls frontman David Johansen enlivened the soundtrack of Scorsese’s HBO series productions “Boardwalk Empire” and “Vinyl.” Scorsese is also a regular listener of Johansen’s Sirius XM series “Mansion of Fun.” Finally, after Scorsese caught Johansen’s career-spanning cabaret set at the Café Carlyle, the director-producer – a storied teller of New York stories – decided that the time was ripe for a documentary on the proto-punk scion of Staten Island. “Personality Crisis: One Night Only,” which debuted April 14 on Showtime, chronicles Johansen’s evolution from the Dolls to the lounge-y pop of his Buster Poindexter period through his present day life as a husband, stepfather and eminence grise of New York’s music scene.
Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding prove today that devotion pays off – making a miraculous return to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.
