The Art of Loving by Olivia Dean
The Art of Loving is an album by Olivia Dean, released in 2025. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Nice To Each Other”, on 5 lists with a best position of #7.
The Art of Loving, Olivia Dean's second album, arrived on 26 September 2025 through Capitol and Polydor, two years after her Mercury-nominated debut Messy, and it's warm, unhurried pop with neo-soul bones. Dean co-produced it herself alongside a crew including Julian Bunetta, Matt Hales, Bastian Langebæk, Leon Michels, Zach Nahome, John Ryan, Max Wolfgang and Matt Zara, and the arrangements glow without ever crowding her voice.
The singles kept coming, from "Nice to Each Other" and "Lady Lady" to "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" and "Man I Need", which became her first UK number-one single. The album topped the charts in the UK, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand, made Dean the first British solo woman since 2021 to hold the top spot on the albums and singles charts at once, and cracked the Billboard 200's top ten. It won British Album of the Year at the Brits, and Dean took the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2026.
