media release: Breakout soul artist Devon Gilfillian shared “All I Really Wanna Do (Sunset Mix)” in June. The reimagined version of his single “All I Really Wanna Do” from his album Love You Anyway, out now on Fantasy Records, arrives as the hit single reaches #5 this week at AAA Radio. Meanwhile, Love You Anyway, an album that takes soul music into an exciting and restorative new future, recently surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify and hit #1 on the College Radio Soul/R&B chart.

“All I Really Wanna Do,” was named one of Rolling Stone’s ‘Best Songs of 2023 So Far’ and was recently included in The New York Times’ “Morning Spring 2023” official playlist and on CBS Morning Morning’s official playlist “Mixtape.” His new “Sunset Mix” is the counterpart to the lighthearted edition “All I Really Wanna Do (Sunrise Mix)” shared last month. Devon says the smooth new track is “that after dinner and drinks mix, the ‘where’s-this-night-going’ mix. DJ Camper remixed the track and threw it down such a dope, sexy hallway - spanning R&B vibes from the 90s to today.”

Devon’s upcoming set at Bonnaroo arrives on the heels of two weeks in Europe on tour with My Morning Jacket, followed by three dates with Mavis Staples, Yola, and Trombone Shorty back in the US. His touring continues this fall, with recently announced headline dates that kick off on September 18th and see Devon in major cities across the US, including a hometown performance at Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia on September 28th, and an evening at the legendary Los Angeles venue, the Troubadour, on October 27th.

Devon has recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS Saturday Morning, the GRAMMYS’ “Positive Vibes Only” series, and has received acclaim from Rolling Stone, People Magazine, Relix, No Depression, Rated R&B, Paste, and American Songwriter, among others.
