Grammys 2026: Olivia Dean's Feathery Chanel Dress Is Love, What Pushed Her To Create 'Man I Need'?

Olivia Dean, British singer-songwriter, is dominating the headlines with her Grammy-winning moment for Best New Artist, defeating fellow nominees like Katseye, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young. Olivia Dean became the ninth consecutive female artist to win a Grammy, extending a streak that began in 2018.

The gorgeous singer is for lovers, as claimed by her fans, and obviously, her record-breaking album, The Art Of Loving, which was released in September 2025. It was a little outside the Grammy-entrant window, but courtesy of her three solo songs, Nice To Each Other, Lady Lady and Man I Need, which led her to secure a spot in the ballot.

Olivia Dean bags a Grammy: What led to her massive win

Now, coming to her Grammy win, Olivia Dean, who is known for her blending style of pop, R&B, and neo-soul, said that she never imagined that she would be up there on the Grammys, while thanking her entire team and family for her win. She also paid a little nod to the immigrants, as one of her grandparents was one. Stating that she's a product of bravery and they are nothing without each other, Olivia Dean mentioned:

"I never really imagined that I would be up here. An artist is really nothing without their team. This is for you, too — and my family. I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant. I'm a product of bravery and I think those people need to be celebrated. We're nothing without each other."

Olivia Dean's songs are a documentary of her life: What prompted her to write the song Man I Need?

The Art Of Loving is the second album of Olivia Dean, and it proved to be her breakthrough, which had its rewarding moment with a Grammy being her new cap. The speciality of the singer? Well, she doesn't do things half-half, as she likes to put it all, and she is in love with intensity in every area of her life.

Speaking to Nylon, Olivia Dean said she doesn't write the lyrics unless they're about something that has happened to her. While she does it for documentar-ness and she remembers later in life that lyrics defined a particular happening in her life, her fans are attached to the art she is bringing to them, be it the melodies, tune, her voice and obviously the glue that holds everything together, the lyrics. So, it's surely the case that chart-breaking, Man I Need, is also about one of her life stories.

Congratulations, Olivia Dean, the Best New Artist!
