Coming soon
Olivia Dean confirms plans for anticipated second LP ‘The Art Of Loving’
She dropped the record’s dreamy lead single, ‘Nice To Each Other’, last week.
Olivia Dean has announced that ‘The Art Of Loving’ - her second record, and the follow-up to her 2023 Mercury Prize shortlisted debut ‘Messy’ - will arrive on 26th September via Capitol Records.
The anticipated new album promises to be a tender, introspective exploration of love in all its forms - be it romantic, platonic, or of the self - and has been already introduced via her latest track ‘Nice To Each Other’, which landed last week.
“[It’s] a song about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating,” Olivia has said of the breezy new cut. “It’s about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represents a playfulness in me that I’m excited for people to see.”
You can watch said video - an impressively fluid, one-take number directed by Jake Erland - below.
Ahead of releasing ‘The Art Of Loving’, Olivia will also be hitting the road for a mixed run of headline shows and Sam Fender support slots, including a special hometown underplay at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 11th June. Find out where you can catch her live this Summer here:
