Teddy Swims: I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) review – extra-size emotion

The huge-voiced Atlantan behind last year’s megahit Lose Control is back, and in love, on this unignorable, playlist-pleasing follow-up

Impressively, his 2023 album I’ve Tried Everything ButTherapy (Part 1) backed up its promise, testament to the 32-year-old Atlantan’s skill at crafting sympathetic settings for his stunning, gale-force voice. Although, as soulfully weathered as his crooning gets, it has little of that genuine, binman-in-a-bear-trap pain of singers such as Jelly Roll. Part 2 feels more corporate, with its genre-hopping, playlist-pleasing songs and much gusty whimpering about how great his girlfriend is.
