Devon Gilfillian crafts a track that “yearns for a love he can’t have” with “Moonflower,” the latest single from his upcoming album, Time Will Tell, out June 26, 2026, via Concord Records.

Gilfillian explains:

‘Moonflower’ is about the love I’m always chasing but can never reach because we have opposite natures – the moon and the sun. 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.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, a hub of Soul music, Gilfillian has since spent over a dozen years in Nashville. Recorded at 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.

Gilfillian will tour extensively in support of Time Will Tell, and has announced 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.
