Olivia Dean is the woman of the moment. Her rise to fame has certainly exploded in the past year with constant viral songs such as Man I Need and So Easy (To Fall In Love).

As part of BRITs Week, Olivia Dean performed last night in Manchester's Albert Hall and the crowd was hanging on her every word.

Olivia started the night with Lady Lady and sang a range of songs from her new album 'The Art of Loving', such as Nice to Each Other and Loud, as well as The Hardest Part and Dive from her 2023 album 'Messy'.

The singing and music from the band was impeccable set against the stunning candle-lit Albert Hall.

It is so clear to see why Olivia Dean is as popular as she is right now. Her soulful and warm voice alongside her romantic song writing creates a perfect combination for some easy listening that you can't help but dance to.

Nearly 2,000 people were in attendance and the ambience was absolutely electric with the whole crowd singing and dancing along.

The tickets for the event were priced at £45 with the proceeds going towards War Child, a charity that serves to protect the most vulnerable from the atrocities of war.

Support on the night came from rising-star Nectar Woode, who finished her performance with new single ‘Lights Off’.

Nominated for five awards at this year’s BRIT Awards, including Mastercard Album of the Year and Artist of the Year, Olivia will also be performing at the Co-op Live on Saturday.
