{"product_id":"olivia-dean-messy","title":"Olivia Dean - Messy","description":"\u003cp\u003eOlivia Dean's Messy sounds like a young songwriter getting comfortable in her own skin, a 2023 debut steeped in warm soul, gentle pop and a refreshing lack of pretence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe London singer drew on neo-soul, contemporary R\u0026amp;B and classic Motown, and the result earned a Mercury Prize shortlist nod in its release year. It is a record about the in-between stages of life, figuring out love, independence and self-worth without pretending to have it all sorted, which is exactly what the title promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dive\" glides along with breezy, sunlit charm, while \"Ladies Room\" is a sisterly pep talk delivered with sly wit and a knowing smile. \"Danger\" simmers with jazzy chords and late-night tension, and \"Carmen\" closes the album as a moving tribute to her family's roots and the people who came before her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer voice is the real draw, rich and unhurried, equally at home with a big hook or a hushed confession. The arrangements stay light on their feet, all soft keys, gentle horns and rhythm sections that know when to hang back and let her lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the kind of debut that makes you want to follow an artist for years, and on vinyl its warmth really glows, best enjoyed start to finish on a slow Sunday.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139171787057,"sku":"602455215895","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Olivia_Dean-Messy.jpg?v=1793087204","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/olivia-dean-messy","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
