Hailing from Walthamstow, Olivia Dean is a fast-rising British artist who stuns with her captivating voice and endearing perspective on romantic love. Her remarkable ascension occurred after she released her first single Reason To Stay, which caught the attention of London label AMF; since then, she has released two EPs and performed stellar sold out shows at London’s Jazz Café.

Tender and soothing, Slowly is a stunningly authentic depiction of love. Angelic harmonies float above a bed of gentle piano melodies, whilst Olivia’s soulful vocals encompass you in a warm hug, comforting you as you feel the raw emotions of the lyrics. The beautiful visuals for Slowly reflect the single’s poignance, as we see Olivia performing the song at the piano, surrounded by a hazy landscape.

Olivia shares:

‘Slowly’ feels like one of the most vulnerable songs I’ve ever written. I used to think falling in love was supposed to be chaotic, fiery and tumultuous, but I’ve realised that really, to fall in love normally – and to have a healthy and ordinary relationship is a beautiful thing. It’s a song asking for patience when starting to fall in love.

Stay tuned for Olivia’s heartfelt EP Growth, a vulnerable collection of music which is reflective of the lessons she has learned during the past year. It will be available to buy and stream on all music platforms from 30th July.
