About Teddy Thompson
Teddy Thompson is a London-born, Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter whose parents are British folk icons Richard and Linda Thompson. That lineage carries weight — but Thompson has spent his career building something entirely his own.
His latest album Never Be The Same is his first collection of original material since 2020. It did not arrive with grand announcement or reinvention. "Don't ever be the same. Change. Grow! Even when the sentiment is woe is me, I'll never recover after that love or loss — the message is still change. Don't get too comfortable. Everything is temporary, so evolve or perish," Thompson says.
"Songwriting is magical. You can hear one hundred people sing 'I love you' and you know which one is telling the truth," he says. "If the root of the sentiment is authentic, it will resonate."
Eleven albums in, Thompson is still asking the right questions.
