Jaten Dimsdale, better known as Teddy Swims, is a legendary singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. The singer recently gained attention in the music industry after signing a deal with Warner Records.
Teddy’s silky, smooth vocals are an excellent fit for this lovely song, and some fans have stated that they prefer his version over the original. His cover has received over 41 million views on YouTube, making it the most popular version of the classic song on the video platform. Watch his incredible cover below:
Swims currently has an impressive 1.16 million YouTube subscribers, and his channel celebrates almost every music genre. Swims showcases his exceptional vocal abilities by performing covers of well-known soul, R&B, ballad, country, and rock songs. Check out this video of Swims’ beautifully soulful rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.”
Swims breaches the gap between various genres, never afraid to take on any type of musical cover. His exceptional vocal range and soulful style allow him to tackle some of the “Big Hits” of the musical world; these include, but are in no way limited to, his covers of Luther Vandross’s “Never Too Much,” Chris Stapleton’s fan favourite “Tennessee Whiskey,” as well as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson’s “Rock with You.”
In all these covers, Swims brings a truly unique style and joyful performance to each and every one. Often, in his cover videos, Swims appears in a light-hearted mood, smiling and laughing in each one as he belts out his wonder covers.
It is no wonder that Swim’s new song “Broke” saw him collaborate with country music legend Thomas Rhett. The two make a truly dynamic pairing, with Swims being able to harmonise with Rhett and sing like they have been performing together for years, but of course, that is exactly what we have grown to expect from Swims.
One of his most popular songs, a cover of R&B singer Mario’s song “Let Me Love You,” has racked up a gobsmacking 35 million views on YouTube. In the video, it shows a poncho wearing swimsuits singing the R&B song with a truly impressive range and gravel. Swims has the perfect amalgamation of blues rhythm, country grit, and soul drawl in his singing style. This mega-blend of styles allows Swims to captivate his audiences with his unique and refreshingly clear tones while giving an engaging performance in his video, backed by his best friends and band “Elefvnts.”
