On Smiling Through the Pain 2 (out October 24 via Headroom Records), the French-born, London-based producer doubles down on that emotional duality, delivering an album that feels as much like a diary as it does a DJ set. Over the course of 15 tracks, Paul stitches together late-night catharsis, suburban nostalgia, and the jagged tenderness of early adulthood. The record is sequenced like an unbroken night out: the giddy anticipation, the sudden moments of reflection, the quiet comedown as the sun edges in. It's an album that refuses to treat joy and sadness as opposites, they coexist here, often in the same chord progression. Since debuting in 2023, Swimming Paul has quietly built an empire on emotional resonance: 150 million streams across platforms, 1.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 50 editorial placements (including Dance Party, Crying on the Dancefloor, Electronic Rising...), 10,000+ radio spins worldwide, and sold-out tours across Europe and North America. His sound has earned co-signs from BBC Radio 1, Triple J, KCRW, Sirius XM and a wave of DJs who value melody as much as momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e1 Driving Fast (With Beau Neptune)\u003cbr\u003e2 Different Time\u003cbr\u003e3 Still Fading (With Alecc Crisostomo)\u003cbr\u003e4 Direct with It (With Beau Neptune)\u003cbr\u003e5 Mutt\u003cbr\u003e6 Stay Blessed (With Alecc Crisostomo)\u003cbr\u003e7 Hard2Sleep (With Beau Neptune)\u003cbr\u003e8 Drinking to Get Drunk\u003cbr\u003e9 All My Fault (With Thals)\u003cbr\u003e10 Shine a Light (With Zayden)\u003cbr\u003e11 Maximum\u003cbr\u003e12 Liza M1 (With Liza Flume)\u003cbr\u003e13 20 Anymore\u003cbr\u003e14 Holly (With Junior Simba)\u003cbr\u003e15 We F-Up (With Liza Flume)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swimming Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63801815990649,"sku":"3516628500015","price":8.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/7219\/3401\/files\/3516628500015.jpg?v=1781861197","url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/smiling-through-the-pain-2-2lp","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
