Three Tunes Tuesday - Teddy Swims

I am perhaps a little late since it isn’t Tuesday anymore but let me share a discography of Teddy Swims. Afterall, it has been a while since I am sharing a recommendation and I have the need to introduce Teddy Swims.

Teddy Swims got into my recommendation about a year ago. At first, I shrugged it off and didn’t care about the songs but the voice captured my heart. It was the kind of voice that was unique and a great film background. Somehow, I wondered if he’s ever been featured in any movie, maybe something that talks about Yippie culture or any kind of movie like fifty shades of gray and 356 days and even series like the Suits. You get the gist.

The other week, I got reminded of him again out of nowhere. The tune of “ lose control” re-appeared and I listened to it once more and damn, his voice is just so fire. Lose control is the kind of song that you probably listen to with whiskey neat on hand. His whole vibe reminds me of the 70s and this Lose control is also a pretty moody song too, again think of whiskey neat on hand kinda vibe.

It’s weird to call him pop and soul but he’s all sorts. He blends different genres into his music. When you listen to his other songs, you’d notice this too.

At the same time, when you look at Teddy, you probably thought he’s a soundcloud rapper but he’s not. He sings a mix of ballad, soul and sometimes he does cover. In the past, before he blew up he did a cover of Shania Twain’s song and it was just absolutely insane. He has this raw talent and his voice is pretty unique even without music behind it. His album I tried everything but therapy is a great start for his discography as it has two of his most popular songs “ Lose Control” and “The Door”.

To get to know Teddy’s Lose Control is on my top recommendation. Then there’s “The Door” and eventually “ Broke”. These top 3 shows Teddy’s various musical influences and way before he blew up, he even collaborated with illenium and ele duhe. To me, this cover is one of his best, His cover on Khalid’s song titled “Talk”.

He still has so much potential and I hope he could win a Grammy's one day. His career is still early and he’s still really young, so there’s more potential to come. Anyway, that’s all for my recommendation for this week and perhaps this month.
