Diamonds Dye Share Alt-Pop Single “On Our Way” feat. Jesse Maxwell

To create “On Our Way,” the brand new single from Toronto pop fusion trio Diamonds Dye, the band teamed up with certified Toronto R&B rising star Jesse Maxwell (Stand Still, Undone, Nosedive).

A love letter to Toronto’s nightlife, “On Our Way” is a track about night driving for Torontonians (local and honourary) looking for love in the gorgeous city. The song intends to be a soothing reminder that it does not take much to find it either when you’re cruising through the Entertainment District with someone you’re really vibing with.

As Maxwell puts it in the chorus: “Recline, relax and just let go.” Toronto will do the rest.

The song’s origins were inspired by the laidback stylings of ‘70s slow jams. Think Kool and the Gang‘s “Summer Madness” meets Bobby Caldwell‘s “What You Won‘t Do For Love.” With time, it evolved into a groovy late-night driving track that resembles a blend of more-modern instrumental and vocal influences such as: “I Feel It Coming,” “Nightcall,” and “Wicked Game.”

Comments songwriter Dennis Bayazitov:

“‘On Our Way‘ was a track that demanded tremendous patience. Prior to finding Jesse, our engineer Gabriel Deich (Owner, Melody First Music) and I tried running through it with five other vocalists! Each brought their own flair to the track, but nobody quite grasped the vibe we were looking for. Each time we went back to the drawing board, it felt like the track would never be released—like we were slowly but surely simultaneously going insane…”

In turn, Maxwell says:

“Diamonds Dye was enjoyable to work with. I’m all for a comfortable and nurturing, creative environment and I really felt that walking into their studio to record. They are passionate about what they have created, and rightfully so, because the song really speaks for itself.”
