I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2)

Released in early 2025, 'I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2)' serves as the thematic and sonic evolution of Teddy Swims' breakout debut. While Part 1 established his vocal dominance and focused on the chaos of self-destruction, Part 2 shifts toward the 'work' of recovery and the perspective shift brought on by impending fatherhood. The album was recorded with a focus on 'analog warmth,' utilizing live instrumentation to complement Swims' distinctive raspy baritone. Critics from AllMusic and laut.de noted his ability to traverse genres - moving from the blues-rock stomp of 'Hammer to the Heart' to the country-tinged 'She Loves the Rain' - without losing the central soul identity that defines him. The record achieved significant commercial success, particularly in Australia and Europe, solidifying Swims as a global force in contemporary soul-pop. It stands as his most cohesive work to date, blending personal narrative with stadium-ready production.
