Data Insight
Swamp Savant is the second chapter of Diplo's Thomas Wesley country-EDM project, and like Snake Oil its songs are written by large teams. Diplo produced and co-wrote with each guest and a rotating cast of Nashville writers, so opener "Sad in the Summer" alone credits eight writers. The available per-track writer credits come from Genius and liner notes and have not been cross-confirmed against a second independent source.
The second Thomas Wesley album and Diplo's fifth solo studio album, continuing the country-crossover project begun with Snake Oil. Released in 2023 on Higher Ground and Columbia Records, Swamp Savant featured collaborations with Jessie Murph, Polo G, Sturgill Simpson (as Johnny Blue Skies), Dove Cameron, Elle King, and others. The lead single 'Heartbroken' featuring Jessie Murph and Polo G received significant country and pop radio play. Commercial editions bundled the Chapter 1 tracks alongside the new material.
