This spring’s Boston Calling is poised to be a festival for discovery, as underneath the familiar headliners are a spectrum of exciting new artists many at the Harvard Athletic Complex may be hearing for the first time. Last year, it was The Beaches and Genesis Owusu that turned heads and solidified a permanent place on our collective playlists, and for 2024 it may be d4vd, the 18-year-old singer-songwriter who’s quickly becoming a household name.

To fuel the ascent, d4vd today releases “My House Is Not a Home,” a tender and magnetic ballad about loneliness and a strained relationship that showcases how the artist straddles a fine line between genres in order to convey a unique sense of storytelling.

‘My House Is Not a Home’ is an introspective track about how I viewed my life after moving to Los Angeles – the themes of falling in love with the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time are explored throughout the song,” he says, “and how I navigate those situations are in the lyrics.”

The track arrives with an accompanying music video directed by collaborator Raheem Powell, bringing the song to vivid life. Check it out below, and put d4vd near the top of the growing list of must-see performances at Boston Calling in May.
