Devon Gilfillian’s Neo-Soul Wonder “Moonflower” Out Today, Headline Tour Announced

Devon Gilfillian yearns for a love he can’t have on the stunning neo-soul wonder “Moonflower,” the latest single from his upcoming album Time Will Tell (out June 26 via Concord Records). Lush strings wrap around Gilfillian’s exquisite vocals, heightening the song's tension. The masterful track is alternately filled with seduction and longing as Gilfillian sings “What am I to do/ I can’t stop loving you/ I want you Moonflower.”

“‘Moonflower’ is about the love I’m always chasing but can never reach because we have opposite natures - the moon and the sun,” explains Gilfillian. “The moonflower blossoms at night under the moon, but can it survive the day? This is my '90s baby, neo-soul and r&b side, lusting for what I can never really have. It’s a love song and a heartbreak song in one.”

Time Will Tell is the album Gilfillian has been working towards his entire life. Born and raised in Philadelphia, one of America’s great soul music hubs, Gilfillian has since spent over a dozen years in Nashville. Recorded at the legendary RCA Studio A, Time Will Tell finds Gilfillian crafting a hybrid of the Philly soul he was raised on and the Nashville sounds he’s absorbed since moving there in 2013. The result is a magnetic take on country-soul, Gilfillian’s very own Nashville sound. But first, he had to wind his way through familial mortality, the heartache of a lost relationship, and ultimately take control of his musical destiny. 

Gilfillian will tour extensively in support of Time Will Tell, and today he announces a headline run that includes shows in NYC, L.A., DC, Denver and Austin. Gilfillian plays Rolling Stone Stateside Fest on July 4th, the Minnesota Yacht Club festival on July 18th and XPONENTIAL Music Fest in Philadelphia on September 18th.
