The sequel to his 2023 mainstream breakthrough,
I've Tried Everything But Therapy, Pt. 2
finds
Teddy Swims
digging deeper into his personal life, finding inspiration in love and healing. His second full-length studio album, it's a more optimistic and energized experience than the first, cranking up the accessible pop sheen on his utterly soulful, powerhouse anthems. Pulse-pounding foot stompers such as "Not Your Man" and "Funeral" modernize the nostalgic,
Ronson
-esque neo-soul sound of the late 2000s, while soothing, R&B/jazz-inspired moments such as "Your Kind of Crazy" and "Are You Even Real" (with
Giveon
) showcase his robust, effortless vocal delivery. Other guests include
Muni Long
("Black & White") and
Coco Jones
and
GloRilla
(the attitude-packed "She Got It"). The album's highlight, "Bad Dreams," became his third international smash hit, an infectious dose of melancholy pop goodness with a catchy chorus. Upon release, the set debuted at number four on the U.S. charts. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
