Dvsn: What's Up - ft. Jagged Edge

By Kerry Doole

Dvsn - What's Up (OVO Sound/Warner Records): The gold-selling Toronto R&B duo comprising singer Daniel Daley and Grammy-winning producer Nineteen85 has just released its second single of 2022. What’s Up features guests Jagged Edge and renowned producer/songwriter Jermaine Dupri.


In a label press release, Daley explains that “When we were playing it for the twins from Jagged Edge, they were so passionate about this song being super special and important for R&B, that they decided to bless us with their vocals and trademark harmonies to complete the emotion.”

The track features a slow groove R&B ballad with a classic feel, aside from the frequent F-word usage. Daley's soulful vocals are well to the fore as he gets confessional ("I should’ve just called you that night, I prolly could've saved us from the fake love and the empty little link ups").

Complementing What's Up is a nostalgia-drenched video directed by Andy Madeleine and featuring Drea from If I Get Caught plus appearances by Dupri and Jagged Edge. 

Dvsn will be hoping the new cut continues the momentum built two years ago with the group's star-studded third album, A Muse in Her Feelings, and its hit song Too Deep.

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
