"Toronto duo dvsn has never been about rushing. Known for their slow-burn R&B, the pairing of vocalist Daniel Daley and producer Nineteen85 built a reputation on the kind of music that sneaks into your bloodstream and lingers. Now, after a quiet stretch, they're back with a double drop—"Excited" and "Love On You"—and a major new label home under Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings in partnership with HYBE. It's a move that signals both a return to form and the start of a new chapter."
""Excited" feels tailor-made for late nights. Built around slow-burning drums and an intoxicatingly warped vocal sample, the track oozes atmosphere. Nineteen85's production leans into restraint, with synth flourishes that lift the melody without crowding Daley's vocals. The simplicity is the point. dvsn has always excelled at taking minimal ingredients and turning them into emotional gut punches. "Excited" is sultry, patient, and magnetic—exactly the type of track that made fans fall for them in the first place."
"Signing with Jermaine Dupri's legendary So So Def imprint is a big swing for dvsn, but it makes sense. Dupri's track record in shaping R&B and hip-hop speaks for itself, and dvsn has long thrived on balancing old-school sensibilities with modern textures. While Dupri didn't produce these latest singles, his presence looms large as the duo adjusts to life under a new label. The signing suggests bigger moves ahead—potential albums, collaborations, and creative risks that could take dvsn's sound to new heights."
dvsn returned with a double single release, "Excited" and "Love On You", and signed to Jermaine Dupri's So So Def in partnership with HYBE. The duo continues to prioritize slow-burning, atmospheric R&B built around restraint and emotional layering. "Excited" centers on slow drums, a warped vocal sample, and synth flourishes that highlight Daniel Daley's vocals. "Love On You" adopts a lighter, breezier tone with staccato bass-driven synths and airy chords. The label move positions the duo for potential albums, collaborations, and creative risks aimed at expanding their reach while maintaining their signature sonic identity.
