There’s an old literary saying that goes Don’t judge a book by its cover. The same can be said for music like”911″ by Teddy Swims. Don’t judge music by the appearance of the singer. We’ve had plenty of examples of why this makes sense. Some great and legendary R&B has come from the likes of Darryl Hall and John Oates, Jon B. and Robin Thicke. Teddy Swims on “991” is another example of the rule. When I saw the artist visually in another video I was a little thrown off. You rarely, if ever, see a head and neck tattooed white guy sing what sounds like Southern Soul.
It doesn’t matter what a music artist looks like. The reason this track is on the 2022 #GetRightMusic playlist is that it sounds pretty good. It just makes me think of the …book by its cover saying.
