Messy
“Olivia Dean’s Messy is anything but chaotic”
The Art of Loving
“Gifted British singer-songwriter’s second LP The Art of Loving pushes her music into an elevated tier”
The Art of Loving
“Olivia Dean is fast becoming a genuine household name, winning over fans with her blend of pop, indie, soul and beyond. Since her stellar 2023 debut album ‘Messy’, it’s been a succession of career highlights: a seismic Glastonbury performance in 2024, contributing the swooning ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’ to the final Bridget Jones film’s soundtrack, and Mercury Prize and BRIT Award nominati”
The Art of Loving
“Though this testimony seems to lie at the very core of The Art of Loving – or so the titular opener suggests – this is not where we often find Dean elsewhere in the record.

Messy
“vibrant, consistent and brimming with life”
The Art of Loving
“The rising British neo-soul star’s unfussy charisma and warmly assured voice carry her second album, a collection of classic-sounding, retro-minded pop.”

“Messy by Olivia Dean is one of those albums that feels effortlessly warm and personal. As a music fan, I love how she leans into soul, pop, and soft R&B without ever sounding forced. Her voice carries so much sincerity — there’s a natural glow to it that makes even the quieter moments hit deep. The songwriting feels conversational and vulnerable, like flipping through pages of someone’s journal. It’s not overly experimental, but it doesn’t need to be. The strength here is in the honesty and the groove…subtle, classy production that lets her shine. Messy isn’t trying to be loud; it’s confident in its softness.”
The Art of Loving
“On first listen I was not the biggest fan of this album but as I kept hearing song from it her voice began to grow on me. Her brand and aesthetic became clear and this album became gold. Her voice mixed With the fullness of the instruments makes so enchanting. There’s a coolness to her, even in the upbeat songs like “man I need” there’s still a sway that feels breezy”
Live At Eventim Apollo
“Listen to this more often than her debut album. So happy that I have it on vinyl!”
The Art of Loving
“Almost every second of this album is completely flawless, and I’d highly recommend this album but also this artist (Olivia Dean). This album is sad, dance worthy, and happy, all in one. My favourite song on the album is “I’ve seen it”, very very good.”

“Olivia Dean has an eloquence about her that I think is very necessary for this chapter of my life and her ability to put into lyrics so many painful things in such beautiful ways makes her a generational talent.”
The Art of Loving
“Such a beautiful album, so chill and perfect. It’s like I can tell Olivia really connected with every song and it makes the whole album feel so authentic. she definitely deserved best new artist 💜”
The Art of Loving
“The combination of pop, soul, and indie is one of the greatest concoctions of music that has entered my ears, best album of 2025 Top 3 Songs: Man I need, Nice to Each other, Baby Steps”
The Art of Loving
“There are some bangers on this album like man i need and so easy but I feel like most of the songs are fillers. Still I think the potential of Olivia is through the roof.”
