Olivia Dean, the British R&B singer who scored a major pop hit with \u201cMan I Need,\u201d has won the Grammy for best new artist.<\/p>\n
Dean\u2019s mix of elegant soul vocals and modern pop sophistication draw from a lineage of Grammy favorites like Amy Winehouse, Sade and Carole King. After opening for Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201cShort n\u2019 Sweet\u201d tour, she quickly became an arena headliner herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant,\u201d a teary-eyed Dean said. \u201cI\u2019m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We\u2019re nothing without each other.\u201d <\/p>\n
She had the crowd on its feet earlier in the night during her performance of \u201cMan I Need.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dean\u2019s breakthrough single, \u201cMan I Need,\u201d peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and drove her album \u201cThe Art of Loving\u201d to No. 3 on the Billboard 200. She dominated the British charts last year, becoming the first British woman since Adele to land three singles simultaneously in the U.K.\u2019s Top 10 charts, and score a No. 1 album and single there.<\/p>\n
Dean also made news last year after lambasting Ticketmaster and other outlets for eye-watering resale prices on tickets to her concert tour, telling them, \u201cYou are providing a disgusting service. The prices at which you\u2019re allowing tickets to be re-sold is vile and completely against our wishes.\u201d Ticketmaster later agreed to cap resale prices and refund fans who overpaid.<\/p>\n
With this win, Dean continues a nine-year streak of the best new artist award going to a solo female musician.<\/p>\n
She bested Leon Thomas, Katseye, the Mar\u00edas, Addison Rae, Sombr, Alex Warren and Lola Young for the award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Dean, the British R&B singer who scored a major pop hit with \u201cMan I Need,\u201d has won…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[23983,54887,77771,77770,77768,37601,77772,3982,48,52,51,47,50,49,1555,18158,72828,77769,211,36038,18652],"class_list":["post-159776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-album","tag-alex-warren","tag-billboard-hot","tag-breakthrough-single","tag-good-new-artist","tag-grammy","tag-granddaughter","tag-immigrant","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-man","tag-no","tag-olivia-dean","tag-resale-price","tag-ticket","tag-ticketmaster","tag-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
