    On Sept. 5, dvsn establish themselves as the cutting edge of post-millennial soul music, electrifying, absorbing and, at their best, downright mind-blowing.

    This group is wise and capable enough to eschew nearly every shortcut of today's personality-first music culture and dial into the silence between the noise. It's what confidence sounds like.

    Refreshingly, they're not only about slick production atmospherics, though some cavernous sonics and electro rhythms threaten to steal the show around the album's midpoint.

    Despite some glaring issues, Sept. 5th manages to stay listenable, and offers occasional glimpses of genuine inspiration.

    Apart from the relatively lively pulse of the aching "Another One," everything plays out at slow-jam tempo, and the vocals often slip into falsetto mode with lapses in enunciation. The duo is at their most effective on finale "The Line," a bare, subtly churchified pleader.

    As a whole, it eschews the current R&B trend of existing within multiple genres or creating a genre unto itself, and the collection is unengaging because of it.

    I might have been late to discovering dvsn but I am impressed with the album. Their sound encompasses the true nature of any genreI might have been late to discovering dvsn but I am impressed with the album. Their sound encompasses the true nature of any genre alternative. The sound mixes hip-hop-inspired drums and soulful samples that complement the drums to give a mellow RNB vibe. The project is a masterclass… Expand

SeptAlso discovered them when ''With Me'' came out & the mysteriousness around them just made me hang on every little thing they did since. Sept 5th is a work of art, it's such a beautifully produced album. I feel Daniel Daley and Nineteen85 have only just begun & I'll be watching from the front row. Fan for life.… Expand

    Extremely impressed with this album, nineteen85 and Daniel Daley really come through on it. It's old school R & B with a very cool modernExtremely impressed with this album, nineteen85 and Daniel Daley really come through on it. It's old school R & B with a very cool modern twist, I prefer this to Views to be completely honest, thus album is actually very underrated as well. The production is so nightly, some real night mood type stuff, very sensual, and very Toronto.… Expand

    One of the best R&B albums I've heard to this date. Silence is the greatest power that is highlighted by this album.

    A really pleasant album to listen to when you have the feelings to do so. However I did not expect much from this but still got a bitA really pleasant album to listen to when you have the feelings to do so. However I did not expect much from this but still got a bit disappointed. Boredom grows more and more as the 46-minute project goes on and on. There are some original moves like the electro-style sounds and singing parts but this get totally erased by generic R&B lyrics and production. The two longest tracks 'With Me' and 'The Line' certainly do create an immersive atmosphere but there is actually nothing really exciting about it. This truly seems effortless for the duo.… Expand
