In a move that unites the cutting edge of British pop with the next generation of listeners, Yoto has officially announced the launch of Olivia Dean’s multi-award-winning album, The Art of Loving, on its interactive audio platform. Starting today, March 6, 2026, families worldwide can experience the heartfelt sounds of the reigning queen of British soul through the child-friendly Yoto card format.
The release follows a stratospheric start to 2026 for Dean. After securing the GRAMMY® for Best New Artist in January, she recently completed a historic clean sweep at the BRIT™ Awards, taking home Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Act. Her critically acclaimed album has now sold over two million copies worldwide, cementing her status as a global powerhouse.
The Yoto edition features 12 standout tracks, including the global smash “Man I Need” and the upbeat “Nice To Each Other.” By bringing Dean’s signature warmth and lyrical honesty to the platform, Yoto aims to inspire "shared listening moments" that bridge the gap between parents and their children.
This launch is the latest success from Yoto’s ongoing partnership with Universal Music Group (UMG). Following in the footsteps of legends like Elton John, ABBA, and the Spice Girls, Olivia Dean is the latest artist to be reimagined for the screen-free audio player.
Dom Hodge, Head of Yoto Studios, expressed his pride in the collaboration:
"Welcoming the groundbreaking Olivia Dean into our library is something we’re incredibly proud of. We hope it introduces a world-class artist to a whole new generation of listeners."
The
The Art of Loving Yoto card is priced at £11.99 ($14.99 USD) and is compatible with the Yoto Player, Yoto Mini, and the free Yoto App. With a total run time of 34 minutes, it offers a safe, ad-free environment for children to discover the "universal language of love" through Dean's irresistible musicality.
