That sense of continuity has been underscored by her recent return to BBC Radio Ulster’s Blackstaff Sessions. Following the success of Emotional Rodeo and its expanded deluxe edition Not My First Emotional Rodeo, Devlin enters the next chapter of her career with a clear sense of identity and creative confidence.
