Olivia Dean has announced her debut album.
'Messy' will arrive on June 30 via EMI Records and feature the newly shared single Dive, a sunny, Motown-inspired alt-pop track that follows the previously unveiled cuts Danger and UFO. She said:
"Going into making the record, I'd just done this 'Growth' project. And for ages, I was like, well, my debut album needs to be what I've grown into, I need to have the answer. And that really confused me for a while. Then I realised, I'm always going to be growing. So this doesn't have to be a destination, it's just where I’m at now.
It's funny because I think it’s the most fine-tuned I've got my sound to be, but also the most carefree I've been in actually making music… some of it’s quite vulnerable but it was just made out of pure fun and joy and unbotheredness, and I think I’ve done a good job with calling it 'Messy' because if anybody says it’s all over the place I’ll be like, yeah!"
