Olivia Dean announces UK tour in September

If you, like me, have been pulled into the world of Olivia Dean by a shiny-eyed friend humming OK Love you Bye a whole weekend, the following announcement is nothing short of divine timing.

After her debut album Messy transformed her into a Mercury Prize and BRIT Award nominee and reached millions of people from the stage of Glastonbury to London Stadium earlier this month, when she joined Sam Fender for a fresh rendition of Rein Me In, Olivia Dean is preparing to take her beautiful neo soul project back on tour.

The seven-date tour will prime and prepare the release of her second album, The Art of Loving, arriving on 26th September via Capitol Records.

The Art of Loving is a tender, intentional deep dive into the many dimensions of love - romantic, platonic, self, and everything in between. Her latest single Nice To Each Other “is a song about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating. 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.” The music video (directed by Jake Erland) is light and flowing, an apparent one-take on a soundstage being assembled and disassembled to her music.
