OLIVIA DEAN
The Art Of Loving
2025 Europe pressing

Last year, this phenomenal album pulled off quite the trick.

It achieved what I like to call the “Impossible Trifecta”; where all three members of my family (me, my wife, and 16 yr old son) all agreed and liked the same record.

It was near the top of the list of my favorite albums of last year, and I’m still heavily ensconced in it. It’s incredible.

It has it all.
#randb , #pop , #soul , with a little bit of #jazz thrown in with some warm, vintage #motown .
It’s greatest attribute is that it sounds BOTH very modern AND classically nostalgic.

Olivia has such a remarkable, spacious voice, and everything going on around it is in its perfect place.

Twenty years from now, I think this will be considered a classic. I hope she sticks around for a long time and continues making albums that are even HALF as good as this one.
