Multi-platinum singer/songwriter and guitarist David Kushner has released new Christmas song: “Empty Bench.” The song portrays “the bittersweet emptiness of an abandoned space once filled with love and connection, symbolized by the titular empty bench.”

The song was Produced by Rick Nowels, who is known for his collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Stevie Nicks, and Madonna, and co-written by Nowels and David Kushner.

“Empty Bench” is “an anthem for anyone who feels the sting of solitude amidst the warmth of the holiday season.”

Following several years of releasing successful singles, Kushner’s autobiographical, 17-song full-length debut, The Dichotomy, was released earlier this year via Miserable Music Group. The project “tells the story of his own spiritual, philosophical and ultimately musical odyssey.”
