Editor's note

Olivia Dean writes London soul with quiet confidence

A singer-songwriter whose music explores vulnerability and identity through intimate, soulful storytelling.

For a good sense of her range, listen to 'Be My Own Boyfriend' and 'Danger' back to back. They frame what she does well.

Her debut EP 'Slowly' in 2019 introduced a voice that felt both haunted and clear, drawing from Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill but landing somewhere entirely her own. Songs like 'Be My Own Boyfriend' and 'Danger' show how she can move between quiet introspection and sharper edges without losing that emotional center. The 2022 album 'Growth' deepened those themes of mental health and identity, making the personal feel universal.

She started writing songs as a teenager in London, releasing her first EP 'Slowly' in 2019. The debut album 'Growth' arrived in 2022, and along the way she's performed with artists like Tom Misch and Jorja Smith without letting those collaborations define her sound.
