Latest single from David Kushner called "Daylight". The track, which was released on April 14 and has reached the Top 20 across Europe and Oceania so far, goes for Triple A adds now.

Should mention how this debuted at #48 on the Hot 100 here in the states.
While I do see promise in him, this sounds like the boring kind of Amateur Hour schlock that I'd hear on Spotify's New Music Friday / All New Indie playlists every week.

On Alt Nation's Advanced Placement this week. They may be thinking of pushing him to Alt hard pretty soon too.
Personally I kinda like it even though this type of sound is frequently a miss with me.

Great vocals. Needs a better song to showcase them. 'nuff said.

Thought his name was David Koresh, which was a much more interesting situation than this song

Of course Audacy stations like KROQ add this. Poor, poor KROQ.

Sounds like Hozier but about as engaging as a modern National song. It's not great, but like. I think it's fine.

I don't mind the chorus but the vocals in the first verse are absolutely horrid

I can at least see some comparisons to Hozier and Bon Iver, but this is as alternative as calling Tom Odell's "Another Love" alternative.

What's funny is in San Diego, Tom Odell did a performance on XTRA for Another Love back in 2014, years before it became a hit on Tiktok. I can't tell if we were ahead of our time or behind it for even giving any focus on Odell.

Odd one to ride the indie one hit wonder sweepstakes, but it is better than Maroon 5's Daylight though.

As for why I hate this, I hate the production of the chorus and I especially hate the second verse which reminds me of Lewis Capaldi vocally and similarly, comes off as whining similar to "Someone You Loved".

Top 10 on AAA: 15 10 DAVID KUSHNER Daylight 416 377 39 0.621 As angry as as I am that AAA (especially commercial side of panel) is letting this be a hit, there is one thing there is going for this in that I have found one worse song than this for the year.
