d4vd, Sleep Well [📷: Darkroom / Interscope]Love is complicated – quite the understatement. For 🎙 d4vd (David Burke), it appears to be immensely complicated on his single, 🎵 “Sleep Well”. Clearly on this smooth ballad, the talented 18-year-old singer is in love with someone.  The problem is that this person (1) is not in love with him anymore or (2) was never in love with him, and he is just fantasizing about love with  this person.  Backed by marvelous production by 🎛 Spencer Stewart and 🎛 STINT, rather than titillate, d4vd makes you (1) want to cry given the lack of a relationship or (2) make out and make love to that special or imaginary somebody in your life 😈 🔥. 

Regardless of how you interpret “Sleep Well,” the romance is pronounced, unrequited or not. “Do you think about me every night? / Before you go to sleep,” d4vd inquires in the first verse.  In the second, he admits his faults, but also sells himself as a respectable guy whom she can depend on and most of all, LOVE. “It doesn’t matter what you thought of me then / But what you think of me now,” he asserts, adding, “We haven’t always seen eye to eye / But right now, won’t you look at mine.” Sigh, oh, the plight of love! Of course, it is the centerpiece, the chorus, that makes you want to spend intimate time with that extra special somebody:

And even if you don’t think that I’m near 

I’ll still be right next to you, my dear 

And the way you make me feel 

Has the power to make the whole world stand still 

Who’s to say that our love ain’t real?” 

Well, the music video 🎶📼, of course, but aside from that, you hope things work out for d4vd, and anyone experiencing this situation on the marvelous 🎵 “Sleep Well”.
