The Art of Loving is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean. It was released through Capitol Records and Polydor on 26 September 2025. For a pop and R&B record, it features production from Dean herself, alongside Julian Bunetta, Matt Hales, Bastian Langebæk, Leon Michels, Zach Nahome, John Ryan, Max Wolfgang, and Matt Zara. It was supported by the singles: "Nice to Each Other", "Lady Lady", "Man I Need", "So Easy (To Fall in Love)", "A Couple Minutes" and "Baby Steps".

Upon its release, The Art of Loving received praise from music critics and won the British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards.[3] Internationally, the album peaked at number one in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, as well as the United Kingdom where Dean became the first British solo female artist to top the albums and singles charts simultaneously since 2021. The album debuted in the top ten globally on many charts, including the Billboard 200 and the Canadian Albums Chart.

Background

[edit]

After the release of her debut studio album, Messy (2023), Olivia Dean started working on her next studio album project.[4] In an interview with Paper, Dean shared that she had been "working really hard" on the album, expressing a desire to "sing for everybody" and be welcomed with "open arms" and "love", a gesture she described as a "vulnerable" act.[5] The album was written and recorded in a grand house in East London transformed into a live-work studio for eight weeks between March and April 2025.[6][7]

Composition and conception

[edit]

I love bell hooks's book so much. It was one of those books that you wish everybody in your life could read. I thought that I would like to write an album reflecting on my understanding of love, the last two years of my life, and everything that’s happened. It’s obviously a topic that a lot of people have written songs about, I’m very aware, but I don’t think that takes away from the importance of it. I just think it was very healing for me to make. [...] I went to the studio later that day [in London]. The seed for that title, The Art of Loving, was planted, and I had some songs that I knew I wanted to use, but the majority of the album really wasn’t written until the end of March and April this year. So it’s quite recent material. I dedicated eight weeks to writing the rest of it and finishing it.

— Dean, in an interview with Elle explaining the album conception and the influence of the exhibition.[7]

The Art of Loving consists of twelve tracks, written by Dean herself in collaboration with songwriters and producers, including Julian Bunetta, Matt Hales, Leon Michels, John Ryan, Amy Allen and Sir Nolan.[8][9] The album is a pop and R&B record,[10] that incorporates elements of pop and neo-soul, bossa nova, jazz pop and Motown sound.[11][12][13]

Dean explained that the album title was inspired by American painter Mickalene Thomas' art exhibition All About Love at The Broad in Los Angeles, California, which was in response to bell hooks' book "All About Love: New Visions".[6]

On 1 October 2026, Mattie Music Group filed a lawsuit claiming that Dean's song "I've Seen It" had copied Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers 1981 single, "Just the Two of Us".[14]

Upon its release, The Art of Loving received widespread critical acclaim. According to the review aggregator Metacritic, The Art of Loving received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from 10 critic scores.[26] The review aggregator AnyDecentMusic? assigned the album a weighted average score of 8.0 out of 10 from 13 critic scores.[25] Writing for Rolling Stone, Larisha Paul praised the record as a significant artistic step forward, highlighting "Man I Need" and "Let Alone the One You Love" as career-defining moments and comparing Dean's balladry to Amy Winehouse, Adele, and early Beyoncé.[32] Helen Brown of The Independent called it both "deep and breezy" and commended Dean's ability to "de-complicate and de-escalate romance with playful generosity."[30] Similarly positive, Rhea Hagiwara of The Skinny saw it as "a continuation and a step forward" from her debut Messy, with a new level of "maturity and authenticity".[33]

In The Guardian, Alexis Petridis credited Dean for shedding the "neo-soul clichés" of her debut in favour of 1970s Los Angeles-inspired pop and soft rock, while praising her understated vocals and diaristic lyrics.[11] Clash described it as "a quiet, meditative exploration of love," while noting occasional repetitiveness in its pacing. The review nonetheless praised Dean's voice as the centrepiece of the record and "crystalline, versatile and laced with warmth".[28] Andy Kellman of AllMusic called the album "a couple cuts above her promising debut."[27] Emma Way of DIY said the album "is all of these lessons; from the need for independence ('Man I Need') to the art of letting go ('Let Alone the One You Love'), Olivia manages to convey all wisely, without becoming preachy."[29] Adele Julia of The Line of Best Fit described Dean's performance as her "most compelling yet".[31] Hannah Mylrea of NME said the album "marks the next chapter in Dean's career, one as a popstar risen."[12] Some criticism was more reserved. Pitchfork's Walden Green characterised Dean's voice as warm and engaging but suggested that parts of the record leaned too heavily on retro pastiche, particularly on "Close Up" and "Baby Steps".[10]
