TEDDY SWIMS - I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY (PART 2)
Limited Edition Tangerine Vinyl LP – Includes Signed Art Card
Following the breakthrough success of I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), Teddy Swims returned in January 2025 with the second instalment of his deeply personal debut album. Blending soul, pop, R&B and rock influences, Part 2continues his exploration of love, heartbreak, vulnerability and the complicated process of finding peace with yourself.
Born Jaten Collin Dimsdale, the Atlanta-born singer-songwriter has built his reputation on a remarkable voice that moves effortlessly between soulful warmth, blues-inspired grit and soaring pop melodies. His ability to deliver emotionally charged performances with an unmistakable sense of honesty has made him one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices.
Across thirteen tracks, Part 2 explores the highs and lows of relationships, the uncertainty of falling in love and the difficulty of letting go. The album combines contemporary production with classic soul influences, creating a sound that feels both modern and timeless while allowing Swims' expressive vocals to remain firmly at the centre.
“Bad Dreams” captures the anxiety of a relationship in turmoil, pairing an infectious rhythm with a powerful vocal performance. “Are You Even Real”, featuring Givēon, brings together two distinctive voices in a smooth, atmospheric collaboration, while “Black & White”, featuring Muni Long, adds another layer of soulful chemistry to the record.
Elsewhere, “Funeral” delivers a dramatic, emotionally charged performance, while “Guilty” explores the complicated feelings that can accompany love and regret. “Hammer to the Heart” combines driving production with Swims' unmistakable vocal intensity, while “She Loves the Rain” offers a more reflective moment, balancing vulnerability with warmth.
The album closes the chapter with the same emotional openness that has defined Swims' songwriting from the beginning. Rather than offering easy answers, Part 2 embraces the contradictions of healing, recognising that moving forward is rarely straightforward. The result is a collection that balances heartbreak and uncertainty with moments of connection, hope and self-discovery.
This limited-edition pressing is exclusive to the official Teddy Swims store and features opaque tangerine-coloured vinyl housed in a single sleeve, accompanied by a signed album insert. The signed insert adds a collectible element for fans, making this edition particularly appealing to those following Swims' continued rise.
A compelling continuation of his debut album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) showcases Teddy Swims at his most expressive, bringing together powerhouse vocals, memorable melodies and candid storytelling in a record that feels deeply human.
