ABOUT TEDDY SWIMS:
Reigning from Atlanta, GA, Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) has been putting in real work for years. A quiet, yet steady grind brought Swims to the forefront of the music scene with record breaking songs, sold-out global tours, and iconic performances. With a voice that effortlessly blends genres, including R&B, soul, and pop, Teddy Swims has captivated listeners with his raw emotion. His voice, full of soulful resonance, carries the weight of lived experience and his lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
2024 was a record year for Swims, who celebrated the success of his multi-platinum chart-conquering hits 'Lose Control' and 'The Door' from his debut album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Swims' breakout single 'Lose Control' catapulted his success to new heights, claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming the second-longest running Hot 100 Top 10 song of all time. The track has amassed over 3.4 billion global streams, reached #1 on five radio formats (Top 40, Hot AC, AC, R&B, and Rhythm), and was inducted into Spotify's 'Billions Club.' With the release of his new album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)— featuring his latest hit "Bad Dreams" and standout collaborations with Givēon, Muni Long, Coco Jones, and GloRilla—Swims continues to cement himself as a versatile global hitmaker.
Last year's success earned him a 2025 Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist, as well as a performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs, where he received three nominations, and the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, where he received eight nominations and won two awards: Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song of 2024. His impact has soared across the globe—in 2024 we saw him perform at the MTV EMAs and NRJ Awards, as well as the Los40 Awards, where he took home two trophies: Best International Artist and Best International Album of the Year. With over 9 billion career streams to date and a sold-out global headline tour underway, Swims is on track for a record 2025.

KAYTRANADA Kicks Off 'AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!' With "SPACE INVADER"
Summary KAYTRANADAwasn't going to let summer pass without serving up a proper dance project… FormerHypebeast Magazinecover star surprised us all when he took to Instagram yesterday to reveal his new longform studio release would be dropping in just a few days. A play on many of our reactions to the news, the imminent new album is entitledAIN'T NO DAMN WAY,and is confirmed to release on all streaming platforms this Friday. An official press release describes the project – his first since 2024'sTimeless –as a return to form of sorts, calling it 'an intentional return to his dance music roots,' a collection of 'predominantly instrumental tracks that were made for the dance floor.' While we don't have the official tracklist quite yet, we do have lead single 'SPACE INVADER,' a shimmery, synth-infused retro cut that invites us into the captivating new narrative, but also epitomizes Kay's nostalgia-inspired yet highly future-facing sound. When we sat down with the pioneering electronic producer last year, he spoke a lot about these themes of duality and fluidity in his creative process. 'My favorite disco and boogie songs are often heartbreak anthems that are still upbeat. 'You broke my heart, but I'm going to be okay,' type songs. Think heavy instrumentation, bass, strings, drums — like seven or eight minutes, giving you a breakdown that feels so emotional. That's what inspired me. That was always my type of music. I've always loved danceable sad songs, with big chords and heavy drums, but also a vulnerable message.' Stream 'SPACE INVADER,' out everywhere now, and check back in whenAIN'T NO DAMN WAYdrops on streaming services this Friday, August 15.
