The new single from Olivia Dean is ‘Dive’, a warm piece of soul-pop. The track is dripping with nostalgic horn melodies and luscious harmonies that establish Dean as one of the most inventive vocalists currently active in the UK. Its ambitious arrangement and genre-bending texture changes are just one of the many reasons to compare her work to the most versatile of soul-pop artists. Her new album, Messy, drops on June 30th 2023. On the new 12-track release, she says: “For ages, I was like, well, my debut album needs to be what I've grown into, I need to have the answer. And that really confused me for a while. Then I realised, I'm always going to be growing. So this doesn't have to be a destination, it's just where I’m at now.” -Dan Peeke
