Dev spoke with Yasmine Richard of Fuse News recently at Austin City Limits 2012. The pop artist talked about her visit to Dubai, what to expect from her on the follow-up to her 2011 debut album ‘The Night the Sun Came Up’, what she’s learned about herself since dropping that album, and getting 2 Chainz to feature on the remix for ‘In My Trunk’.

On visiting Dubai, she said, “I just went a week and a half ago. Yeah, it was my first time. It was insane. It’s an adult Disneyland. Everything there is like the biggest, the tallest, the best, the prettiest. It was a lot of fun. We saw the tallest building in the world, I guess. It was very tall. They wanted to go to the top of it, I was like, ‘Hell no! You guys have fun up there. I’m gonna stay right here. This is fine.’ Yeah, it was a really pretty city. It was awesome.”

On her new album, Dev said, “It’s going really good. It’s been quite an eventful few years, so I have a lot of stuff to write about. I have a lot to say. It’s actually been a lot of fun.”

As for the album’s release date, she said, “In a perfect world, it would be obviously spring or summer of next year. I don’t wanna rush anything. I want it to be great.”

Asked what she’s learned between albums, Dev said, “I think I’ve realized I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was. I think that maybe I just didn’t give myself enough credit, or I didn’t find that yet in myself. I was kind of young when I made my first album. I just moved to LA from a small town. I think that now I know who I am a little bit more and what I can handle.”

Talking about getting 2 Chainz to get on her remix for ‘In My Trunk’, Dev said, “He did a really cool intro, and then he fit a verse. It was amazing and I definitely got cool points from my fiance. I love 2 Chainz, I thought his record was amazing. I’m a big fan, so the fact that he was on my song was really cool. He’s rad. He’s great, so it was a lot of fun.”

MTV will feature a look into the personal life of Dev in wake of the 22-year-old singer’s fast rise in music and becoming a first-time mom. The 1-hour special on the singer debuts on May 23rd at 11PM ET/PT and is called ‘Dev’. The recording artist, whose real name is Devin Tailes, had a high-risk pregnancy with daughter Emilia Lovely, who was born in December with gastroschisis. The condition is a congenital defect characterized by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents freely protrude.

“I’m so in love with my fiance, Jimmy [Gorecki], who is a pro skater,” Dev says in the trailer. “But I can’t help but be afraid that having a baby could alter everything. It doesn’t mean I’m giving up on my superstar dreams. I just hope I can pull this all off.”

Vevo Stylized caught up with Dev for a chat about fashion. The 22-year-old talked about how fashion and music go together, expressing yourself through fashion, being into tattoos since she was a kid, how the success of ‘Like a G6’ amped up the pressure for her fashion, always having sunglasses if she’s too lazy to put makeup on, and the looks in her ‘Booty Bounce’, ‘Bass Down Low’ and ‘In de Dark’ music videos.

“Fashion and music actually go really well together,” Dev said. “You know, the Cataracs and I will make a really cool song, here in this studio, and then I’ll literally take about 10 steps over to Lanie, and we’ll come up with some really cool visuals with the song, whether it’s for a performance or a video. I’m a lucky girl. I get to do cool things.”

The Cataracs are out with the music video to their new single ‘Top Of The World’, featuring Dev, which is directed by Ethan Lader. The treatment features cops, duct tape, gyrating scantily clad women, a pillow fight, boy shorts, and a fair bit of girl on girl action. The track is expected to be on the electropop duo’s upcoming album on Universal Republic. Watch it via YouTube below.
