Olivia Dean hit the big time with her award-winning 2025 “Art of Loving” album. The British chanteuse won the Grammy Award this year for best new artist as well Brit Awards for Artist of the Year; Album of the Year; Song of the Year (“Don’t Rein Me In”); and Best Pop Act.
Her album love song, “Man I Need,” became a monster hit with 1.3 Billion streams. Just to make small talk, that’s about 4 times the population of the U.S.! Indeed, Olivia Dean has arrived.
In contrast to artists like Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo who love to dwell on break-ups, Ms. Dean seems consistently sunny in disposition, focusing on the positive side of love.
“Man I Need” (above) conveys a simple message:
“Be the man I need, baby,
Talk to me, talk to me.”
Communication often makes or breaks relationships. The 27 year old Ms. Dean lays out how to MAKE the relationship: by talking to each other.
The message seems to resonate considering all the streams the song has garnered to date.

Her song of the year, “Don’t Rein Me In,” co-written and performed with Sam Fender, explores the vulnerable side of love in a complex back and forth conversation:
“Don’t rein me in,
Please, don’t rein me in;
Now I’m working myself up to a nice warm bliss,
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus;
If I stop it’s just pain,
Please, don’t rein me in.”
