Olivia Lauryn Dean (born 14 March 1999) is an English singer and songwriter. Her accolades include four Brit Awards and the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Dean's duet with Sam Fender, "Rein Me In", was the longest-running number-one single in the UK Singles charts by a British act. Her music blends elements of pop, jazz, neo-soul, and contemporary R&B, and much of her lyrics focus on relationships and self-love.
Dean signed with AMF Records and Virgin EMI Records in 2019 after her self-released song "Reason to Stay" went viral. She released her debut album, Messy (2023), to critical acclaim, earning a nomination for the Mercury Prize. She achieved wider recognition with her second album, The Art of Loving (2025), which topped the UK Albums Chart and included the UK number-one single "Man I Need", which also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. With the additional singles "Nice to Each Other", "So Easy (To Fall in Love)", and "Rein Me In", Dean became the first female solo artist to have four singles in the UK top ten simultaneously.
