Olivia Dean, a fast-rising UK soul-pop star, has finally released her long-awaited debut album Messy. This album features the hit singles ‘Danger’ and ‘UFO’, solidifying Dean's position as one of the most original and versatile voices in UK pop.
Dean has a unique talent for crafting classic yet conversational hooks with genre-fluid tinges. She explores universal themes of love, loss, and everything in between with razor-sharp but open-hearted storytelling.
When asked about her debut album, Olivia shared, “Going into making the record, I'd just done this ‘Growth’ project. And 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.”
