However, he promised to tackle these issues; therefore, his upcoming album and tour in 2025 will be a testimony of his triumph.
Strap yourself in and join in the countdown to a series of unforgettable shows in Europe, North America, and South America.
Background
Born Jaten Collin Dimsdale, the Georgia-born singer began his music career in Atlanta, performing with several bands like Eris and Elefvnts. His stage name, “Swims,” is actually an acronym, which stands for “Someone Who Isn’t Me Sometimes.” In 2019, Swims began posting cover performances of artists on YouTube like Michael Jackson, Lewis Capaldi, Shania Twain, and others.
His videos accumulated millions of views, and by December of the same year, he signed his first professional record deal with Warner.
I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part I)
The 31-year-old Georgia-born artist released his debut album, “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy,” on September 15, 2023.
The album takes fans on an emotionally walloping journey of Teddy’s mental health, his path to self-discovery, and healing. The album’s lead single, “Lose Control, released in May, earned Teddy his first entry and top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100. Also, the song was among the top ten songs in 23 countries, including the UK Singles Chart. Other songs on the album include “The Door,” “What More Can I Say,” “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” “Flame,” etc.
The body of work is truly a masterpiece, worth the wait. The second part of his recent album, “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1),” will be released next year in January. After the release of the album, Swims said that he will seek professional help; thus, the second part of this album is expected to be a lyrical description of his journey in therapy.
“I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2),” which Warner Records is set to release, will feature 13 new songs and carry on the creative era he started with Part 1 last September. We now know that the album will contain the previously released singles “Bad Dreams,” “Funeral,” and “Hammer to the Heart,” but the titles of the other tracks are still unknown.
