Multi-BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominee Olivia Dean announces her highly anticipated second album, The Art of Loving, arriving on 26th September via Capitol Records.
The Art of Loving is a tender, intentional deep dive into the many dimensions of love—romantic, platonic, self, and everything in between. The album will feature Olivia’s recently released single, ‘Nice To Each Other’, which is accompanied by a one-take music video captured by Jake Erland. When speaking about her joyful new single, Olivia comments, “‘Nice To Each Other’ is a song about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating. It’s about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represent a playfulness in me that I’m excited for people to see.”
The Art of Loving follows the critical success of Olivia’s 2023 debut, Messy, which solidified her status as one of the most compelling voices in neo-soul and pop. Olivia will open for Sam Fender on his run of UK Headline shows, which kick off this Friday at the London Stadium, before performing a celebratory underplay at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 11th June. Olivia will also join Sabrina Carpenter at her BST Hyde Park show on 6th July, then embark on her sold-out headline tour across the Atlantic, US & Canada this Summer.
With her signature warmth and lyrical honesty, Olivia Dean invites listeners into a new era of sound and storytelling. Poised to be her most intimate work yet, The Art of Loving begins an exciting chapter from one of the UK’s most mesmerising artists.
