If you’re on social media, there’s no way you made it out of last year without hearing a song by Olivia Dean. Her most recent album, “The Art of Loving,” brought hit songs like “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” “Man I Need,” and “A Couple Minutes.” The album is focused on love in many of its forms: romantic love, love between friends, growing love, and love that’s been let go. She beautifully points to the love we see in others and ourselves every day. 

Olivia Dean has broken into the music scene in the last five years and is loved for her refreshing, soulful voice. With a mix of pop, jazz, and R&B sounds, it’s clear that she’s an artist who doesn’t find herself bound to a specific genre. If you’re a fan of easygoing, clean, and authentic music, there’s no doubt she has what you’re looking for.

Full of the emotion and energy typical for Benson Boone’s music, his song “Slow it Down” is about the mix of hard feelings when it comes to falling in love with someone. In this song, his lyrical storytelling is descriptive, his voice is dynamic, and his authenticity is on display.

“Lover Girl” by Laufey is a jazzy, fun, and absolutely adorable song about how being in love changes you into someone you never thought you’d be, whether you like it or not! I’m always impressed with Laufey’s gentle and controlled sound, as well as her ability to tell enchanting stories with her lyrics.
