8 SEPTEMBER 2023 (TORONTO, ON) — Today, 18-year-old artist d4vd releases The Lost Petals EP via The Darkroom/Interscope/Universal Music Canada (LISTEN BELOW). He couples the project with a new animated video for his song “Rehab” (WATCH BELOW).

Following the release of his debut EP, Petals To Thorns, a masterful nine-track project with breakthrough hits including grungy, guitar-driven breakup anthem RIAA Multi-Platinum “Romantic Homicide,” and RIAA Platinum “Here With Me,” d4vd complements the project with a follow-up EP The Lost Petals. The five song collection fits into the world of Petals to Thorns and serves as a continuation of that project. These tracks represent a similar time in d4vd’s creative process that he wants to share with fans before moving into his next phase of music. He first teased the EP with the release of “Notes From A Wrist,” an homage to a friend who struggled with mental health (WATCH BELOW). Overall, The Lost Petals offers a more intimate and stripped-down glimpse at d4vd’s artistry than ever before.

To complement the EP, d4vd also unveils an anime video for “Rehab” directed by Tristan Zammit and written by Raheem Powell and d4vd himself. It follows a similar theme as his last anime-inspired video “Romantic Homicide – Introducing IT4MI” capturing a battle between d4vd and his alter ego IT4MI – adorned in his signature bandaged look – as they’re vying for the same love interest. “Itami” means pain in Japanese and represents the hurt felt in d4vd’s universe.
