Olivia Dean's "Growth" glides in at a tight 16 minutes, packing five soul-drenched cuts that unpack the highs and hesitations of new love with effortless poise. "Cross My Mind" steals the spotlight early, its shimmering layers wrapping around wistful memories like a late-night confessional. Dean's velvet timbre shines through "Slowly," where a laid-back groove begs for time in budding flames, hooks sinking in deep. The whole EP pulses with neo-soul warmth, blending heartache's pull against hope's gentle nudge.
Kicking off with "Be My Own Boyfriend," it claims independence amid raw feels, then sways into "Fall Again's" tender mid-tempo lure of old sparks reigniting. "Float" seals it with breezy euphoria, fusing vintage R&B glow to crisp pop edges for that instant uplift. Dean crafts an intimate vibe here, a snapshot of her sharpening edge that's primed for bigger stages. Replay after replay, it hooks you with its unforced allure. -
