The Art Of Loving is a very good album. I really like the sound. This calmer R&B and soul, with jazz and a little pop, is exactly the kind of thing I like to listen to. It's a quiet, tasty album, that you put to play and just let go. But at the same time there is something that bothers. He gets too stuck in this same vibe from beginning to end. It doesn't get tired, but sometimes it gets a little sleepy, it seems that it doesn't leave much of the place. It's all well done, everything is beautiful, but almost always in the same tone. The beginning is harder to engage. As the album goes by, it gets better, and from the middle to the end it really works very well. There are songs there that stand out and show how much Olivia Dean knows how to create atmosphere and feeling. Overall, it's a beautiful, coherent and very pleasant album to listen to, not to mention Olivia's wonderful voice. Maybe it's not so surprising, but it delivers the experience you propose very well.
