Sarah Louise Bennett reported that Teddy Swims’ hit single Lose Control has sold 1.8 million copies in the UK alone. Despite being nominated for four MTV Awards, Teddy Swims left empty-handed, but he gained something more valuable – the news that he and his partner were expecting a baby in June.
Teddy Swims’ music has been inspired by his past struggles with dysfunction, addiction, and heartbreak, but his new album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Part 2, reflects his journey towards healing and finding love with his partner, Raiche Wright.
The album, which features a mix of soulful tracks and heartfelt ballads, also addresses issues of prejudice and intolerance, drawing from Dimsdale’s own experiences as someone in an interracial relationship.
Despite his success, Teddy Swims remains grounded and focused on connecting with his fans through personal interactions and live performances. He acknowledges the challenges of managing his newfound wealth and fame but remains grateful for the opportunity to share his music with the world.
As he prepares for his European arena tour, Teddy Swims is ready to pour his heart out on stage, embracing his emotional vulnerability as a strength and a reminder that pain can lead to healing and happiness. He credits his father for teaching him the importance of expressing love and emotions openly, and looks forward to becoming a father himself.
