Alt-pop singer-songwriter Devon Again has signed with producer Dan Nigro, according to an exclusive report, and will release her debut album in June. The album is preceded by the single “Snake the Drain,” which arrives June 2. The Colorado-raised artist is currently preparing to open for a major tour later this year.

Dan Nigro’s second signing builds an alt-pop powerhouse

Dan Nigro, best known for producing Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping albums and Chappell Roan’s critically acclaimed debut, has added a second artist to his roster: Devon Again. The source notes that Nigro produced Roan’s debut album after Atlantic Records dropped her in 2020, and has now taken on Devon Again as his next signature project. The move positions Nigro as a key architect in the alt-pop space, with a stable that blends mainstream pop sensibilities with indie-leaning authenticity. For Devon Again, signing with Nigro provides access to a production style that has already shaped two of the decade’s most defining pop records .

‘Snake the Drain’ marks a playful pivot from emotionally heavy past work

Devon Again describes “Snake the Drain” as the song that helped her “play in the mud again,” according to a statement in the report. The track follows earlier standouts like “Cherry Cola” and “Never Goes Away ,” which she says were “really heavy and emotionally difficult” to make. The shift signals a conscious move toward lightness and fun, as she explains: “I found myself in a place where I felt like if I wanted to keep making music, I would have to shift my process to make it feel fun and silly again.” The single is set for a June 2 release via Mad Decent for distribution.

A debut album described as ‘boy music’ — and what that might mean

Devon Again has described her forthcoming debut album as full of “boy music,” the report says,though she hasn’t elaborated on the phrase. given her alt-pop bent and previous genre-blending tracks, the description could signal a more upbeat, rock-tinged direction or lyrics that play with masculine themes. The album is expected in June, but no title or tracklist has been revealed. Fans following her career will watch how the “boy music” label translates into sonic choices.

The Unraveled Tour question: Who exactly is Devon Again opening for?

The source mentions that in November, Devon Again will “accompany Rodrigo on the Unraveled Tour,” opening for arena dates across North America through February. This appears to refer to Olivia Rodrigo’s tour, though the tour name “Unraveled” does not match any official Rodrigo tour — her last trek was the “Sour Tour” in 2022. it remains unclear which artist Devon Again will actually support. The ambiguity leaves room for clarification:if it is Rodrigo, the connection through Nigro makes sense; if another artist, the tour booking would be a different strategic move. The report does not provide furthr details.

Album title, tracklist, and beyond: what’s still unannounced

As of the report, the debut album has no confirmed title, tracklist, or release date beyond the June window. The only confirmed song is “Snake the Drain.” Additionally, while Devon Again is signed to Mad Decent for distribution, her relationship with Nigro appears to be a production deal, not a full label signing. The source does not specify which label will release the album. These open questions will be answered as the June release approaches.
