Why We're Excited: Devon Gilfillian's glittering, soulful sound intersects with everything from vintage R&B to ragged folk-rock, but there's one constant on his debut album Black Hole Rainbow: a rangy, wonderfully expressive, sandy-smooth voice. Equally suited to forlorn blues and the rousing, anthemic, roof-raising uplift of "Unchained," Gilfillian appears poised for — and well-suited to — ubiquity.
