Just as people use humor to diffuse tension, Puth deftly plays around with sonic sensibilities on the album to offset the mature subject matter. There are shades of Blink 182 on the soaring “There’s a First Time for Everything,” and a clear Weezer influence on his latest single, “I Don’t Think That I Like Her,’ which is catchier and more clever than anything on the radio right now.Īnd then there’s the actual boy band influence on Charlie, with Puth teaming up with BTS’ Jungkook on the summer hit “Left and Right” which has already amassed more than 500 million streams online (listen to the song on a pair of headphones with spatial audio to really get the “left and right” effect). ”Baby you’re responsible for all these tears on my piano,” Puth wails, against a staccato-style cadence Stephen Jenkins would be proud of. The quirky “Tears On My Piano” plays like a Third Eye Blind B-side with its minor key guitar riff and shout-it-out chorus. But while Puth is a man who’s been wronged, he isn’t someone who wallows, and the darker lyrics on the album are lifted by bright and upbeat melodies, which reference everything from alternative, to pop rock, to early-aughts boy bands. “If she knows you’re in love, she’s going to run away.”ĭespite his seemingly blase persona, Puth is a sensitive soul at heart and Charlie explores the multitude of emotions that come from unrequited love. “I’m not making the same mistake, won’t be putting my heart on display,” he warns himself. On the hard-chugging “Charlie Be Quiet,” Puth holds back from revealing his true feelings to the object of his affection. On his terrific, cohesive third studio album, the man with the perfect pitch proves he’s got the perfect formula for a great pop record too.Ĭharlie Puth on Getting (Allegedly) Ghosted by Ellen's Label, Recording with BTS' Jungkook - and His New Album's Songwriting Secrets But on Charlie, the singer finally has an album that deserves the attention– and admiration –he seems to crave so desperately.Īcross 12 tracks that all clock in under three minutes or so in length, Charlie is an expertly-crafted collection of earworms that stay in your head longer than any viral photo or TikTok clip.

Puth has always been one of the savviest artists in the industry and he knows how to get people talking, as demonstrated by his skin-baring pics on social media. You half-expect Puth to end the song with a laughing emoji or an apology for accidentally making you feel some type of way. The 30-year-old even has a song on his self-titled album called “That’s Hilarious,” with lyrics criss-crossing between serious and scatty like a “JK” text. After all, this is the guy who spent the pandemic throwing up thirst traps on Instagram and documenting the recording of his latest album, Charlie, with spastic, random videos on TikTok and Reels.
