October 25, 2024 – Today, Canadian singer songwriter / purveyor of catchy feminist anthems Devon Cole releases her sophomore EP Two Shades Blonder via Arista Records. The release comes on the heels of her massive hit “I Got You,” which presently sits among the Top 10 at Top 40 and Hot AC in Canada.
Listen to the Two Shades Blonder EP HERE.
Known for her quick-witted and bubbly honesty about topics that are not always spoken about, this EP is a showcase of Devon’s versatility. She’s already shared some sneak peeks with previously released singles “Good Guy,” her friendship anthem “I Got You” – which caught the attention of tens of millions across socials before its release – and her most recent call to be your own “Sugar Daddy.”
Devon announced the EP with a mocked-up magazine cover featuring her with blonde hair, a nod both to the name of the project as well as its theme of changing your physical appearance in the face of mental adversity. Speaking on Two Shades Blonder, Devon shares:
“I believe the world needs more love, more laughter and more empowerment. I’ve come to believe my mission as a human (and an artist) is to help us get there. If I can make someone giggle or feel confident through my music, that means everything to me. I naturally lean towards music that is feel-good, where the subject is sure of their worth and takes no shit. That sort of music has helped me throughout my life, so that’s the sort of music I love making. It’s also just my personality. I am an extroverted eccentric over-sharer, and that’s how I write.
The themes in this EP range from empowerment and bad-bitchery, to some messier things like the thrill of the chase and feeling insecure. It’s really a smorgasbord of emotions, because I’m a smorgasbord of emotions. But on the whole – the songs are bright, fun, and full of personality. Each song is its own story.
It’s a little funky, a little country. A little kitsch. I’m continuing to unpack my artistic self. I’m getting a better understanding of what I like and what I don’t like, sonically. I’m getting a better understanding of what a quintessential Devon Cole song will sound like when I’m touring the world in 10 years.”
Devon will celebrate the release with some pop-up salon shows next month in New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and will wrap them up in Los Angeles, where she recently moved. The stops will include an acoustic performance, exclusive merch and an onsite hairdresser for any fans looking for a hair refresh. View the tour routing below.

Since signing to Arista Records in 2022, Devon has amassed millions of streams across her repertoire and received critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, V Magazine, Bustle, and Earmilk. She first gained attention with her viral single “W.I.T.C.H.” (Woman in Total Control of Herself) which has surpassed 184+ million streams worldwide.

She also shared stages across North America with The Valley, Andy Grammer, and Charlotte Cardin.
