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” 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.
Listen to “slug” on Apple Music. Additional tour information is available through Devon Again’s official website.
