If You Know What I Mean is a soulful and introspective collection from Olivia Dean, weaving honesty and heartache into effortlessly smooth arrangements. The EP flows with rich vocals, tender lyricism, and a blend of classic soul, pop, and jazz influences. Each track feels like a conversation — gentle, confessional, and full of emotional clarity.
From the vulnerable introspection in “Echo” to the empowering self-reflection of “Be My Own Boyfriend,” Dean captures the push and pull of modern love and self-worth. It’s a short but emotionally potent project that showcases her ability to be both soothing and soul-stirring, all in one breath.
