Olivia Dean has revealed that her second album, titled ‘The Art Of Loving’ and a follow-up to her 2023 Mercury Prize shortlisted debut ‘Messy’, will be released on September 26 through Capitol Records. The eagerly awaited album is expected to offer a gentle, introspective look at love in its various forms—romantic, platonic, and self-love. It has already been introduced with her latest single, ‘Nice To Each Other’, which was released last week. “It’s a song about the dynamics of gaining independence while dating,” Olivia explained about the upbeat new track. “It’s about savoring the moment with someone, making it both lighthearted and meaningful. I believe this song and its video showcase a playful side of me that I’m excited for people to discover.” You can view the video, an impressive single-take creation directed by Jake Erland, below. Before the release of ‘The Art Of Loving’, Olivia will also embark on a series of headline shows and supporting gigs for Sam Fender, including a special intimate hometown performance at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on June 11.
