Since the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album, the Mercury Prize and BRIT Award nominated ‘Messy’ in 2023, Olivia Dean's status as one of the most compelling global voices in UK music has continued to be cemented. Now with a GRAMMY win for Best New Artist and a clean sweep at the 2026 BRIT Awards with four wins under her belt (inc ‘British Artist of the Year’, ‘British Album of the Year’, ‘Best Pop Act’ and ‘Song of the Year’) for her sophomore record — the #1 platinum selling ‘The Art of Loving’ — that status only looks more confirmed. The album, released Sept 26th 2025 via Capitol Records, saw Olivia become the first British woman to have a #1 album and #1 single (with ‘Man I Need’) simultaneously, as well as having the biggest opening week for a British female artist, both since Adele in 2021. The album and single ‘Man I Need’ also peaked at #3 and #2 on the US Billboard charts, respectively. She commands tens of millions of monthly listeners on Spotify and sold out her first ever UK arena tour in minutes, including a six-date residency at The O2 in London.

2026 has seen ‘The Art of Loving’ reaching over four million global sales sold worldwide and Olivia embarking on full UK, EU, US and Australian tours, including headline shows at Madison Square Garden.
