Yoto, the creator of screen-free audio players designed for children, has released Grammy and Brit Award winner Olivia Dean’s album The Art of Loving as a dedicated Yoto card. This move makes the chart-topping collection available to young listeners and families worldwide.
Yoto's release of The Art of Loving transforms a critically acclaimed album into a child-friendly audio format, featuring heartfelt tracks such as 'Nice to Each Other' and the global hit 'Man I Need.' The card works seamlessly with Yoto Player, Yoto Mini, and the free Yoto app. With a runtime of 34 minutes, The Art of Loving Yoto card is offered at $19.99 CAD.
This launch continues the brand’s ongoing partnership with Universal Music Group that has previously brought compilations from Elton John, ABBA, and the Spice Girls to younger audiences.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Screen-free Audio for Children
- The rise of dedicated, tactile audio devices for kids signals potential for novel, child-safe content ecosystems that replace screens with curated audio experiences.
- Music Licensing for Youth Formats
- Established recording artists and labels extending catalogues into child-targeted formats creates room for reimagined rights packages and age-specific distribution models.
- Physical-digital Hybrid Media
- Combining collectible physical cards with companion apps points to hybrid product designs that blend tangible ownership with downloadable or streaming enhancements.
Sectors Adopting This
- Children's Hardware Toys
- Compact, durable audio players designed for young users suggest opportunities for differentiated hardware lines that prioritize simplicity, safety, and parental controls.
- Music and Entertainment
- Curating mainstream albums into family-friendly formats indicates potential for new revenue streams through repackaged content and targeted licensing arrangements.
- Educational Publishing
- Audio-first storytelling and music releases for children hint at curriculum-adjacent content formats that integrate learning objectives with entertainment-focused recordings.
