Teddy Swims - Ugly LP

'Lose Control' became the longest-charting song in Billboard Hot 100 history and pulled in more than five billion streams, which is a strange amount of pressure to carry into a second album. UGLY took roughly fifteen months to make after the birth of Teddy Swims's son, trading the debut's soul-pop-orchestral sprawl for something more inward, and lead single 'Perfect Man' turns out to be about forgiving himself rather than anyone else. Funny how the biggest song of his career was about losing it.
