Teddy Swims releases new single “Till I Change Your Mind”

Date:

 

Atlanta based singer/songwriter Teddy Swims is back with a bang in his new single “Till I Change Your Mind”  which is a brilliant release. Regarding the song, Teddy commented, “So many people have platforms these days but don’t use them to say anything, so I wanted to use mine to say something. I’ve always said that I’ve wanted my music to spread love unity and be a positive force. I wrote ‘Til I Change Your Mind’ a few months into the Covid lockdowns and shortly after the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests last year. This song really captures my frustrations with the racism I see by living in the south. So many people want to act like everything is fine, when in reality, our brothers and sisters are dying in the streets by the hands of police officers everyday.  This song is written for the people that aren’t directly affected by racism and don’t recognize its prevalence today. I hope someday to open their eyes and change their minds.” 

For the accompanying cover artwork, Teddy recruited buzzing Atlanta visual artist, illustrator, creative director, and painter Sage Guillory to create a custom psychedelic painting by hand. The visualizer for “Till I Change Your Mind” spotlights the birth of the artwork.An in-demand presence, everyone from Sprite and Target to Adidas has commissioned Sage’s work recently. 

Teddy decided to give back in a big way and will auction off the original painting with 80% of the proceeds to benefit Soul Food Cypher (SFC), an Atlanta non-profit organization that utilizes freestyle rap and lyricism to transform individuals and communities. The remaining 20% will be given to Sage in order to fund the construction of a new studio. Teddy is also auctioning a 45-minute one-on-one Zoom concert with 100% of proceeds supporting SFC. Information on the auction can be found HERE.

Teddy also just revealed his upcoming debut graphic novel, Teddy Swims: Swimmy and the Valley of the Last Song, with Z2 Comics set for release this fall. It portrays an imaginative adventure through the lens of Swimmy The Teddy Bear, presenting Teddy and his bandmates like audiences have never seen them before. 

This is all a part of Teddy’s upcoming album releasing later this year and we can’t wait to hear more from him!
