In Order

The EP opens with "skittles", and after a brief musical intro Devon’s voice comes in and immediately grabs your attention. The track builds with patience, offering early hints of its electro pop direction before reaching the two thirds mark where it finally lets loose. At that point it reveals the real heart of the record, a burst of high energy pop that sets high expectations for what's to follow.


The next track, "cherry cola", leans more toward conventional pop, yet it’s still shaped by that electro pop special sauce that gives it its character. The lyrics move with an easy, unforced rhythm, and the arrangement has a lively pulse that keeps the track engaging from start to finish.


"sunburn" works more as a musical interlude, running at just one minute and 45 seconds, yet it still manages to make an impact. The electro soundbed gives it a vivid atmosphere, and Devon’s vocals carry the piece with real presence. Near the end a gently picked banjo slips into the mix. It sounds unlikely on paper, but in practice it blends in with surprising ease.


The next track, "Never Goes Away", shifts things in a different direction and works as a showcase for Devon’s voice, which has a youthful yet softly sultry quality. There is a touch of smokey Karen Carpenter in the delivery. Musically it focuses on supporting the vocal rather than pushing it forward, and the result is a beautifully melodic track that feels intimate and purposefully shaped.


The final track, "overagain", opens with striking vocal harmonies that only strengthen the case for listening to this EP on headphones. Across the whole release there is a clear blend of electro and pop, and this closing track reinforces that balance with confidence.


Taken as a whole, this EP moves confidently through its blend of electro and pop, shifting from high energy moments to more intimate, vocal-led pieces without ever feeling disjointed. Each track adds a different shade, whether it’s the burst of momentum in the opener, the easy charm of "cherry cola", the compact hit of "sunburn", or the warm, smoky presence of "Never Goes Away". By the time "overagain" closes things out with its distinctive harmonies, the EP has built a clear sense of identity and left a strong impression of where Devon could take a full album next.
