Olivia Dean Covers Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Move On Up’ At Tour Opener In Glasgow

British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean started The Art Of Loving Live Tour Wednesday at The OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The reigning Best New Artist Grammy Award winner, who is touring in support of her 2025 album, The Art Of Loving, inserted a cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up” into the opening show’s setlist.

Dean performed nearly every song on The Art Of Loving across the multi-act presentation. The setlist contained several selections from her 2023 album, Messy, alongside a smattering of other originals. Dean also performed “It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be,” her contribution to the 2025 Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy film soundtrack.

Perhaps the biggest setlist surprise was the late-in-the-show arrival of a cover of the soul classic, “Move On Up,” by Curtis Mayfield. The song appeared on Mayfield’s landmark 1970 debut album, Curtis.

The Art Of Loving Live Tour continues today with a second OVO Hydro show in Glasgow. Watch a clip of Dean covering “Move On Up,” posted by NME, below:
