After Adele's voice, I was looking for strong voices. This year, 2025, I found it: Teddy Swims.
He already seemed good at covers even back in 2018, but I only heard his voice in 2025. I’m glad he moved on to his own compositions. It is not easy to compete with AI voices—personally, I do go after any voice, AI or human—but he beat AI voices.
I believe unnecessary COVID-19 measures blocked many musicians from reaching their audiences, and the fact that he reached his voice lovers in 2025 is good. It’s good that he caught it early.
My favorites are "Bad Dreams" and "The Door," and impressively, nearly half of his original songs have become worldwide hits within their genre.
"Lose Control" was the first song where I truly recognized not just his unique voice, but also his musical depth and expertise.
