How Olivia Dean Inspired the Creation of Beyond the Applause

And I was obsessed with her and her music.

And I was really kind of inspired by her because I think that she is the voice of her generation.

And it's really inspiring to see her as a singer-songwriter and everything that she's done.

And there's this video where she was performing at a gig in Brooklyn.

She's just so captivating and charming.

And I thought, my goodness, she's like a young Diana Ross.

You know, she has that sort of aura and energy about her.

And I was looking around for some support and I wasn't finding it.

And so I was like, Tanya, she'll get it.

I know she will.

And so I sent you that clip.

And, you know, we were kind of texting back and forth.

And I'm like, who does she remind you of? You know, who does she look like? That energy.

And you said Diana Ross.

And so, you know, that was the ultimate sign that really we needed to do this.

But, you know, my

drive… Sorry, Christopher.

I remember this video you sent me.

I had not yet, except for her big song, I had not yet saw or looked into… Olivia Dean much and like the way she like moves her arms and her hands are so like deliberately ethereal.
