Devon Gabriella Releases “Old Time’s Sake”
Today, rising singer-songwriter Devon Gabriella releases her new single “Old Time’s Sake” via BMG. A sharp, self-aware take on revisiting a love that never quite worked, the track balances emotional honesty with a playful edge, marking a confident step forward for the 24-year-old artist.
After teasing “Old Time’s Sake” on social media, fans flooded her platforms with organic reaction videos, building undeniable buzz ahead of its release. Rather than leaning into a straightforward heartbreak track, Devon turns emotional déjà vu into a soaring, hook-filled anthem layered with shimmering acoustic textures and punchy percussion. Capturing the sting of “what if” while radiating the confidence of “I’m not the same anymore,” the single feels reflective yet triumphant. It is a bold step forward in her evolution as an artist.
The single follows a breakout year for Devon. In 2025, she opened across North America on GRAMMY Best New Artist nominee sombr’s Late Nights & Young Romance Tour, performing in sizable venues nationwide with several nights drawing crowds of 10,000 fans after being personally requested for the run. The tour marked a defining inflection point, introducing her diaristic songwriting to arena-scale audiences and solidifying her ability to translate intimate stories into commanding live performances. She has previously supported artists including Christian French and Sadie Jean, further sharpening her live presence, and sold out her debut headline show at Los Angeles’ Moroccan Lounge in under a minute, an early testament to her rapidly growing and deeply engaged fanbase.
Originally from the Bay Area and now based in Los Angeles, Devon has steadily climbed from playing tiny venues to performing on major stages, a rise grounded in years of independent releases and intentional community-building. She first began releasing music in 2020 and has since shared 13 additional singles, two EPs, and her 2024 debut album, From the Next Room.
Drawing inspiration from Taylor Swift’s confessional lyricism, Kacey Musgraves’ wit, Fleetwood Mac’s melodic sensibility, and the emotional immediacy of Gracie Abrams, Devon crafts modern pop songs rooted in vulnerability, nostalgia, and emotional clarity. Her 2025 EP, The Garden, marked a period of personal and creative growth, expanding her sonic palette and deepening the connection with her rapidly growing fan community, many of whom show up to performances in flower crowns inspired by the project’s themes of comfort and belonging.
Devon will perform at SXSW this year as part of the BMG Label & Publishing Showcase at Elysium (705 Red River St) on Friday, March 13, 2026. With more new music on the horizon, “Old Time’s Sake” sets the tone for what’s shaping up to be Devon Gabriella’s most assured and compelling year yet.
