Charlie Puth
#NEWMUSIC: CHARLIE PUTH NEW ALBUM “WHATEVER’S CLEVER!” NOW OUT
Ahead of his WHATEVER’S CLEVER! WORLD TOUR starting next month, Charlie Puth has released his highly anticipated fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever! via Atlantic Records. Listen HERE.
“I had to take a closer look at myself to make this record and sing about things I normally wouldn’t sing about,” says Charlie on Whatever’s Clever! “Audiences knew my music more than they knew me because I never really gave them a chance to know me. This is the chance.”
Immersed in classics from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, and Philip Bailey, embracing sounds like the Yamaha CP70 and experimenting with techniques during sessions at his home studio, “I knew I wanted to make a rich, warm, and big-sounding record,” he states. and found the perfect collaborator in co-producer BloodPop®
“BloodPop® pushed me to use sonics I hadn’t touched before, to sing about subjects I’d never sung about, and write songs that might’ve made me uncomfortable in the past,” he admits. “The best singers don’t flawlessly sing on pitch, the guitar goes out of tune, or the record skips. If A.I. is going to take over the world, we decided to be as human as possible. It only took a couple of songs with BloodPop® pushing me, then I was pushing myself.”
Last night, the multi-Diamond and award-winning artist appeared as the lead guest and performer on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing his latest single “Sideways” alongside Coco Jones. A blissed-out ’90s-inspired R&B love song, “Sideways” features Puth’s close friend and collaborator Coco Jones, who first joined him to debut the track live during his Blue Note LA underplay shows last winter and also appears on the official studio version.
Watch Charlie Puth perform “Sideways” featuring Coco Jones on Jimmy Kimmel Live! HERE.
“Charlie is such an incredible artist, constantly refining his craft.” Shares Coco Jones, “We had so much fun bringing “Sideways” to life, and it was such an honor debuting the song at Charlie’s Blue Note show together in Los Angeles. I’m so excited that the world can finally hear it!”
Charlie Puth shared, “I love working with vocalists who can take a song to the next level – and Coco did just that. When writing Sideways, I wanted to evoke a very cinematic picture through the chords and melody. And this vision came alive the moment Coco sang into the microphone. She is an incredible artist and it’s been a joy to work with her on this.”
Other sonic delights taken from his latest body of work, out today, include the timeless yacht rock gem “Love In Exile” (featuring Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins. Fueled by the interplay of loose guitar and neon keys, it takes flight as a vocal masterclass with Charlie holding his own shoulder-to-shoulder next to a pair of icons. This mega-collab concludes on the wistful refrain, “We had it all for a while, but now it feels like love in exile.”
“I started playing in my studio, and Kenny whispered to me, ‘You should really let Mike play because he’ll play something you wouldn’t play’,” he remembers. “It was the best advice ever. My mind was just blown when they each sang, but they are the humblest guys ever. To me, it’s like a classic record from the seventies or eighties.”
“Until It Happens To You” splices spoken word from Jeff Goldblum into a sunny and upbeat Charlie anthem. The legendary actor’s words practically ping-pong in spiritual harmony with vocals boosted by choir harmonies.
“Thematically, you’re watching a loved one go through hardship,” he notes. “This person has guided you through so much turbulence. The tables have turned though, and you need to help. Jeff wasn’t acting. He did a non-memorized monologue where he was speaking from the heart to his two young boys—one of whom is named Charlie.”
For the first time on “Hey Brother,” he directly addresses his younger brother Stephen. He urges, “I wish you could see in you what you see in me.” Charlie states, “I’m telling Stephen, ‘You’re always going to be my brother.’ I see the potential in him like he sees greatness in me. It’s not the most comfortable thing for me to sing about, but he hopefully has great comfort from it. He’s his own person.”
Puth concludes on Whatever’s Clever!, “I’m back to who I always was, I tried on a lot of different outfits and styles, but I believe everything happens for a reason. With a ring on my finger, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and the most at-ease. These are real songs. They’re about my brother, my dad, my wife, and people who aren’t in my life anymore that I thought I needed. This is finally me.”

About Charlie Puth
GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum singer/songwriter/producer Charlie Puth has proven to be one of the industry’s most consistent hitmakers and sought-after collaborators across multiple genres. To date he has amassed over 35 billion career streams, nine multi-platinum singles (including “Attention,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “See You Again” & more), four GRAMMY nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, a Critic’s Choice Award, and a Golden Globe nomination. Puth is currently working on his highly anticipated fourth studio album, the follow-up to 2022’s CHARLIE which featured platinum-certified hit single “Light Switch” and “Left and Right” featuring Jung Kook of BTS. Meanwhile, his 2021 co-penned/produced single “Stay” for The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber reigned #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart for eleven weeks, and his collaboration with Gabby Barrett on their “I Hope (Remix)” earned him his fourth top 10 charting track on the Billboard Hot 100.
#NEWMUSIC: CHARLIE PUTH FT. HIKARU UTADA – “HOME”
With just weeks to go until the release of his highly anticipated fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever!, internationally acclaimed Charlie Puth releases his latest single “Home” Ft. Hikaru Utada, with an official music video directed by Hunter Moreno, both out today via Atlantic Records.
Watch HERE:
“Home was written for my best friend, wife and soon to be mother of our first child. Brooke has changed my life for the better and given me a whole new perspective on why and where I belong in this world. Everything makes sense with her” Puth continues “and to have the honor of one of my favorite artists, Hikaru Utada featuring on this song with me, is a true gift. She gives the song a depth and beauty that I’m so grateful for. She is incredible! I hope you all enjoy is as much as I did making it.”
Hikaru Utada shares, “as a fellow songwriter and music listener, it was obvious to me when I first heard the demo of “Home” that this is a deeply personal song for Charlie that comes straight from his heart. It was a joy to collaborate with such a gifted musician who wears his love of music on his sleeve… and a very fun challenge to contribute Japanese lyrics to an English song, from creating rhyme in languages that have such different phonetics, to being surprised by Charlie’s beautiful Japanese chorus work. I hope everyone enjoys this bilingual song and its universal message.”
“Home” Ft. Hikaru Utada arrives amidst a busy year for Charlie Puth, who embarks on his WHATEVER’S CLEVER! World Tour, starting in San Diego’s Viejas Arena on April 22. Followed by a European tour in June and July. Last month, the award-winning artist performed a soulful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to open the Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

#NEWMUSIC: CHARLIE PUTH NEW SINGLE – “BEAT YOURSELF UP”
Internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum and award-winning artist, producer, musician and songwriter Charlie Puth today releases his latest single “Beat Yourself Up,” from his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album Whatever’s Clever!, out on March 27, 2206 [PRE-ORDER HERE].
“Beat Yourself Up” started as something I wanted to tell a friend.” Puth shares on writing “Beat Yourself Up” and its inspiration. “We’ve never been the heart-to-heart types, so I wrote it in a song instead. I wanted to tell him that even though he has made mistakes along the way, he shouldn’t be so hard on himself. That things will get better and he’s not alone. While writing it, I soon realized this wasn’t just for my friend but myself and so many others who can be hard on themselves. It’s a message to keep going and be kinder to yourself.”
Co-produced by Charlie Puth and BLOODPOP, “Beat Yourself Up” continues to set the scene for what is his most personal and explorative era yet and follows news of his biggest world tour to date, seeing Puth fill arenas across the globe this year.
Starting on April 22 at the Viejas Arena in San Diego, Puth and his A+ band will perform hits old and new across 34 dates in North America before venturing to Europe and the United Kingdom this summer. Tickets go on-sale today. For more information go to: https://www.charlieputh.com

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL’S BEST OF 2016
2016 certainly was one for the books. I admit feeling terribly guilty every time someone claimed how horrible the year was when I secretly felt otherwise! Whether it be the amazing Films I saw, singling-out LA LA LAND, which I will say is the one of the finest to be released in the past decade, or songs on the radio – we love a return to strong melancholy melodies – the year gave us many memories to hold on to. And to think we used to scoff at Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd … now they’re on repeat on our Spotify account.
If there was a big name in town, we were there and this will be defined as the year we met our faves Gwyneth Paltrow, James Corden, Anne Hathaway, Taraji P. Henson, Rooney Mara and Emma Stone. We admit, we’re a bit mortified we’ll run out of heroes to meet!
And let’s not forget my love of horses. My travels to New York and California brought me together with icons like California Chrome, Beholder, Lady Eli and star of tomorrow, Classic Empire – the early favourite for May’s Kentucky Derby. My favourite horsey moment though? Meeting “Princess” aka A Pic by MrWill, my own namesake, for the first time back in February! I will miss her as she enjoys the sun and sand in Florida this winter, but look forward to her being a tough machine in the spring after her winter training.
Join me on a walk down memory lane one more time! And check back this weekend as we check-in with Team Mr. Will including Justin Waldman, Jon Godfrey, Dave Baldwin, Siobhán Rich, Amanda Gilmore + George Kozera as they give us their Best-Ofs!

#SPOTTED: CHARLIE PUTH IN TORONTO FOR “NINE TRACK MIND”
Charlie Puth certainly is a force to be reckoned with. Signed to Atlantic Records (Warner Music), the 24-year-old from New Jersey surfaced last year and has non-stop since delivered the hits. His first single See You Again (from Furious 7) with Wiz Khalifa garnered him a #1 and three Grammy nods.
Marvin Gaye (ft. Meghan Trainor) was one of songs of summer 2015 and current single One Call Away has shown longevity, currently at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. He is said next to be producing Selena Gomez tracks for her next album.
Puth plays his first ever show in Toronto tonight at The Mod Club, the latest in a tour which has seen him trek through North America by bus. He spent most of his morning doing radio interviews before meeting fans at HMV Underground, signing his debut disc Nine Track Mind and posing for pics with fans before an in-house photographer.
We had the pleasure of meeting Puth twice and he was amazingly nice to stop to take a Selfie being in a rush at KISS 92.5‘s The Roz & Mocha Show and we got to chat more with him at his signing where he was genuine in accepting a compliment about his album. We honestly love it.
See our Snaps:
See our Highlights of Puth’s day including his HMV Superstore visit and show at The Mod Club:
Puth played an amazing, intimate show with a selection from his debut disc NINE TRACK MIND. It was an experience getting to witness his true musicianship, performing extended endings to some of his material allowing him to scat and do vocal flourishes. The set was v. fan-focused with his audience singing along start to finish. And at one point he even invited one on-stage to perform One Call Away together, transposed into her range!
We also got to meet his Supporting Talent, Sony Music artists Phoebe Ryan and Sophie Beem, the latter whom we’ve been raving about much of late – she was signed by none other than Beyoncé.

#NEWMUSIC: SOPHIE BEEM FT. FETTY WAP – “I GOT IT”
Making a throw back to Young MC, you’ve gotta check-out this hot track from Sophie Beem! The Sony Music (Columbia Records) Artist is a protege of Beyoncé and believe it or not, she’s only in 11th grade! Currently on tour with Charlie Puth, who makes a Toronto stopoff at Mod Club Monday, March 28, 2016, Beem is set to make a splash. She at least turned quite a few heads at their L.A. show at Fonda Theatre the other day with Beyoncé and Jay-Z coming out to watch her at the show!
In the meantime, enjoy first single I Got It ft. Fetty Wap!
Certified sizzle!
Definitely keep a tab on Beem, whose five-track EP is now out on iTunes here!
