Ask when Devon Again stopped being a promising name and became a real artist, and the answer is a 2025 EP. In Order was, per The FADER's GEN F profile, her true breakout, and it turned a Denver-raised, Los Angeles-based songwriter into one of alt-pop's most closely watched new voices.
The video that traveled
The cherry cola video became the EP's calling card, landing at number four on SPIN's music videos of 2025 list. For an independent-era release, that placement did real work, putting a face and a visual language to a project that was already connecting on streaming.
Widescreen by design
Devon has traced her outsized emotional register to an only-child upbringing and a stretch in a Colorado sober-living facility with her mother during treatment. As she put it, she thought her life was the only one being lived. That solitude reads all over In Order, which swings big rather than small, the sound of someone who learned early to treat her own feelings as the whole world.
In Order is not a modest EP. It is a young artist deciding her interior life is worth widescreen.
The company she was already keeping
In Order did not come out of nowhere either. Devon's 2022 EP PEE landed on Spotify's Lorem playlist beside Billie Eilish and Clairo, and in a loop pop history will keep citing, she opened for a pre-fame Chappell Roan in 2022, years before both landed at Dan Nigro's Amusement. Her single deep, produced by longtime collaborator Jon Buscema, premiered on Zane Lowe's Apple Music 1 show in 2023. In Order was the record that consolidated all of it into a single, undeniable statement, which is why The FADER treated it as the real beginning.
The setup for everything after
In Order is the hinge. Everything that followed, the Amusement signing, the New Music Daily cover, the Olivia Rodrigo arena run, sits on the credibility this EP established first. It was the moment the industry stopped projecting and started believing.
