About the album

Olivia Dean made her second album in eight weeks of spring 2025, living and recording in a large East London house that producer Zach Nahome helped turn into a studio. She took the title from Mickalene Thomas's exhibition All About Love, itself an answer to the writing of bell hooks, and the songs follow that thread: love as romance, as friendship, and as something you owe yourself.

The music moves with the same ease, drawing on pop, neo-soul and bossa nova with a little Motown in its step. The LP went straight to No. 1 in the UK the week "Man I Need" topped the singles chart, and it climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

"A quiet, meditative exploration of love."
Clash
