April 4th, 2025 – Today, Canadian songstress and feminist anthem-maker extraordinaire Devon Cole shares her bright and breezy new single “Play House,” out now via Arista Records. The funky, R&B-kissed song cleverly details a cheeky vision of domestic bliss — and ecstasy — and follows hot on the heels of the singer and songwriter’s still buzzing Two Shades Blonder EP.

Like all of Devon’s infectious singles, “Play House” is full of quotable, quippy lines, but the message that she delivers over a grooving bed of soulful instrumentation is unwavering: “Oh, now I’m not sayin’ / We should get married but baby / I like to play house, I like to make out / Let the dishes keep on soakin’ and lay me down.” In her airiest coo, she interweaves everyday household activities — building furniture, swishing Listerine — with winking come-ons.

As Devon puts it, “‘Play House’ keeps with my other releases because it’s funky, playful, and zesty. I think I’m stepping into a new confidence and it shows. I love how my vocals sound in this song — I’m not trying to be anything or anyone, I’m just being myself. More of that to come!”

Devon’s earned a reputation for songs that span genres while being united by a warm, inviting sound and lyrics that are emotionally sharp, conversationally frank, and frequently funny. Her Two Shades Blonder EP embodied that with songs like the dance-popping “Sugar Daddy” and the soulful “Good Guy,” and themes that ranged from, in Devon’s own words, “empowerment and bad-bitchery to messier things like the thrill of the chase and feeling insecure.” Friendship anthem “I Got You” broke through into the top 10 at Top 40 and Hot AC in Canada, and earned praise from outlets including Prelude Press, Ones To Watch, and Melodic Mag, who likened it to “stepping into pure sunshine.” Meanwhile, her catalogue has surpassed 218 million streams.

Late last year, Devon celebrated the EP’s release with her debut headlining U.S. tour — an intimate series of performances that included exclusive merch and an onsite hairdresser. This past month, she wrapped a headlining Canadian run. Stay tuned as she shares more in 2025.
