# Devon Again Releases “slug” Amid Olivia Rodrigo Arena Tour

*By Derek Oswald · November 13, 2026*

**The alt-pop singer also joins Vevo’s 2027 DSCVR Artists to Watch lineup as her 40-date supporting run continues.**

Devon Again has released her new single **“[slug](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZdksd20veg)”** through Amusement and Interscope Records, arriving as the Los Angeles-based singer continues her 40-date run supporting Olivia Rodrigo on *The Unraveled Tour*.

Produced by longtime collaborator Jon Buscema and co-written with Buscema and Kate Brown, “slug” explores self-doubt through the unusually specific imagery and dry humor that have become hallmarks of Devon’s songwriting.

The song finds her questioning who she might be disappointing, comparing herself to a broken ballpoint pen and a slug. According to the release, the arrangement begins quietly before building in intensity, eventually pulling back its instrumentation ahead of a final rush of confessions.

“slug” follows June’s “snake the drain,” released alongside “this time it’s different.” The former marked Devon’s first major-label release following her signing to Amusement Records, the Interscope-affiliated imprint founded by producer Dan Nigro, whose credits include Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan.

The new single also coincides with Devon’s selection for Vevo’s **2027 DSCVR Artists to Watch** program. The announcement includes new Vevo performances of “slug” and “cherry cola,” the latter appearing on her 2025 EP *In Order*.

Her opening run on Rodrigo’s *The Unraveled Tour* began November 7 in Philadelphia and continues through February 2027. Upcoming stops include Orlando, Nashville, Vancouver, Seattle and Las Vegas.

The tour concludes with two extended engagements: 10 performances at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, throughout January, followed by another 10 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in February.

Devon first attracted attention with her independently released *PEE* EP in 2022 before expanding her audience with *In Order*. Her signing to Nigro’s label earlier this year followed a series of independently released songs and sold-out headline performances.

With her debut full-length album currently in development, “slug” offers another look at the material taking shape ahead of that release. No album date has been announced.
