Throughout the lastfour years, Teddy has spent countless hours honing his craft by writing original music and solidifying who he is as an artist. His remarkable debut albumI’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)is a transformative record that pushes boundaries, inviting listeners to come along on his personal journey of self-discovery and growth. With his soul-stirring voice and heartfelt lyrics, Teddy delivers an intimate and cathartic experience, delving into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of life. With nearly 1 billion global streams across his catalog, Teddy Swims has become a force to be reckoned with, amassing a social following of over 10 million devoted fans and selling out tours across the globe. His undeniable talent has also attracted collaborations with renowned artists like Meghan Trainor, Thomas Rhett, and ILLENIUM, showcasing his versatility and musical prowess.Teddy Swims amassed a big enough following through his YouTube covers of Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, and Amy Winehouse to earn himself a major label deal. After signing with Warner Bros. in early 2020, the Georgia-based singer kicked off a prolific string of one-off singles and EPs that tested the range of his powerhouse voice. After three years, he finally landed a charting hit with 2023’s torchy “Lose Control,” the lead single from his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy, Pt. 1. Swims’ music lives somewhere between vintage soul, classic rock, and contemporary pop balladry with a bit of a country kick. Surrounding his breakout single are nine more tastefully arranged songs aided by a committee of producers and hitmakers like Ammo, Julian Bunetta, and John Ryan. Emotional opener “Some Things I’ll Never Know” is a dusky piano ballad that feels like a custom-built showpiece, but deeper cuts like “The Door” and “Flame” are a little more interesting, each with its own moody, late-night vibe and pleasingly organic feel. Swims’ voice sounds comfortable and lived in and the songs generally serve this effect without going too far over the top into abject showiness. He’s come a long way since fronting local Atlanta rock and soul bands and his experience shows on this debut. – Timothy Monger
