Charlie Puth States That His Brand-New Album is His “Most Personal Yet”
According to Charlie Puth, his upcoming third album, titled ‘Charlie,’ is his “most personal work” to date.
The American singer-songwriter will release his new album, which comes after hits like ‘Light Switch,’ ‘That’s Hilarious,’ ‘Left And Right,’ ‘Smells Like Me’ and ‘I Don’t Think That I Like Her.’
Puth discussed how he tried to infuse more of his personality into the new album, in a new interview with Billboard.
“Maybe a cliche statement for an artist to sit on this white couch and be like, ‘Oh, this is my most personal work’,” he said. “But it is for me because I’ve never had an entire body of work that was my personality with some melody attached to it.”
“I want people to be familiar with these songs, like they’ve heard them before, because they have heard them before,” he added.
The singer also revealed how he and Jung Kook’s ‘Left and Right’ duet came to be.
“The song was done. I sat on it for a couple of weeks and then I texted him the mp3. We were able to really get it done,” he said.
Speaking about what’s next, Puth continued: “Any song that I put out, I never think about, ‘Oh, well I have to top this one.’ I think about, ‘How different of a song can I follow this up with?’
“I feel like I’ve always been, up to this point, the artist that you just hear on the radio or you listen to wherever you listen to music. No one’s ever cared about my personal life so I’m exacerbating that. I’m taking the sandpaper and I’m rubbing the wood [laughs] That’s a weird analogy.”
The highly awaited return promises to be his most personal record to date, with every song accurately portraying a piece of himself.
Puth revealed earlier this year, that he created the majority of the new album on TikTok, which frequently includes breakdowns of the creative process behind his songs.
Before he officially released it, snippets of his January song, ‘Light Switch,’ were also teased on the video-sharing app.
Puth said: “I’m going to call the album, ‘Charlie’. It’s done. I’ve made most of it on TikTok. My goal for this album is for everybody to know every song title before it comes out. I love the fact that ‘Light Switch’ has been teased for months, and people are making bootlegs of it.”
