The Art of Loving is the upcoming second studio album by English singer Olivia Dean. It is set to be released on 26 September 2025 through Capitol Records and Polydor Records. The album follows her critically acclaimed debut, Messy (2023), which was shortlisted for the 2023 Mercury Prize.
Background and promotion
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.[1] The result has been described as a "tender, intentional deep dive" into different forms of love, including "romantic, platonic, self, and everything in between".[2] The album has also been called "her most intimate work yet", showcasing the qualities her audience has come to admire.[3]
Dean announced the album on 2 June 2025.[4] To accompany the news, she released the lead single, "Nice to Each Other", on 30 May. Dean described the track as a "push and pull of exploring your independence in dating" and emphasised its "playfulness".[5] The album's release is preceded by several live performances, including joint appearances with Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Fender, as well as her own headlining North American tour.[6]
