Charlie Puth speaks about baring it all with his new album
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth is quite occupied these days. In October, he released the Phil Collins-indebted ‘Changes’, the delectable first taste of his fourth album ‘Whatever’s Clever’ recently. He chased it with a pair of eight-show residencies at the Blue Note in Los Angeles and New York, followed by a milestone performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl last month. Amid it all, he released a handful of follow-up singles including Cry with Kenny G and Home featuring Hikaru Utada. It feels poetic, somehow, in the grand scheme of things, that he announced the birth of his first child with wife Brooke just three days before Whatever’s Clever! arrived. (IANS)
