Olivia Dean - Art of Loving (Lilac Vinyl)
The Art of Loving is Olivia Dean’s second studio album, released on 26 September 2025 through Capitol and Polydor. The 12-track album is a warm, intimate exploration of love in all its forms—self-love, romantic, platonic—and reflects Dean’s growth both personally and artistically.
Musically, it blends elements of neo-soul, pop, jazz, and R&B, with lush arrangements including piano, strings, brass, and vintage melodic touches. Standout tracks include “Nice to Each Other”, “Lady Lady”, “Man I Need”, “So Easy (To Fall in Love)”, “Let Alone the One You Love”, and “A Couple Minutes”.
Lyrically the album is reflective and vulnerable—Dean speaks about overcoming insecurity, learning to love herself, and navigating the complexities of relationships without sacrificing her identity. Critics praise its emotional honesty, its smooth production, and its ability to sound timeless while still feeling relevant.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
