“When I work with other artists, I always want the ideas to come from them - I will very rarely pitch whole ideas to artists, but rather just be there to support whatever their vision is,” she says. But she also points out that the skill set required as a songwriting partner is significantly different from what’s needed to write for herself. To this day, Geiger says she “loves” songwriting with and for various artists - in the last two years, she’s written for artists ranging from P!nk to Meghan Trainor to Machine Gun Kelly. For the last decade, Geiger largely made her living as a sought-after songwriter in the industry, known primarily for her close collaboration with pop star Shawn Mendes her work on the singer’s 2019 hit “In My Blood” earned a Grammy nomination for song of the year. Much like the rest of the songs written on Teresa, “Never Enough” comes from a place within Geiger that she doesn’t often get to access. You’re always left feeling like there’s something lacking, unless you can come to peace with the feeling itself.” “Once you have a little bit of something, it’s never quite enough when the show has been binged, you want more of it. “I remember being really fixated on the idea of wondering when enough is actually enough,” Geiger says of the new song. “We went back and forth for a minute, and eventually I was just like, ‘You know what? Yeah. The name itself came from an innocuous interaction with a stranger on the streets of Spain in 2019 - when Geiger told them that her name was Teddy, they immediately mistook her name for “Terri,” thinking it was short for Teresa. “I started writing the name on the shower wall and using that as a reminder to say, ‘Okay, there’s this essential person in me that I want to feel connected to and be able to express fully.'” “ Teresa became the truest version of myself,” Geiger says. Soaked in luscious dream-pop soundscapes that smoothly transition from one track to the next, the forthcoming album soundtracks an artist fully immersing herself in a distinct persona.Īs Geiger tells it, that was largely the point every part of Teresa, from its production to its title, lends itself to a specific vision of herself. Where Geiger’s debut album as teddy<3, 2018’s LillyAnna, widened its scope to encompass myriad ideas and genres, Teresa thrives in its cohesion. Due out November 1 via STEM, the new album outlines the singer-songwriter’s journey towards understanding herself and her place in the world. The result of that three-month Spanish sojourn is Teresa, Geiger’s upcoming sophomore LP under her solo moniker teddy<3.
