‘Loser’, Charlie Puth New Album Out Now

Published on

 

GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum singer/songwriter/producer, Charlie Puth, released his highly anticipated third studio album CHARLIE, via Atlantic Records. He reveals all sides of his personality, expressing vulnerability and humour for the first time in his career.

CHARLIE is available to stream/download here.

 

“I’ve been doing this for eight years, but CHARLIE is finally me,” says Puth, “for a long time, I was trying to be ‘the cool guy,’ but that was a foggy piece of glass in front of the world. Now, the glass is broken. There’s no window. You can reach right in.”

Throughout the album, humour is infused with honest storytelling – all from his life and relationships. He confesses “this is sonically my personality. The album has ended up being the most personal body of work. It’s like the sound turned into a physical being.”

 

CHARLIE Out Now

Although fans got a first-hand glimpse of the forthcoming project via TikTok, Puth uses 12 tracks to showcase the evolution of CHARLIE, opening with “That’s Hilarious“. This track was co-written with longtime collaborator JKash. Featuring his hit single “Light Switch,” Puth introduces the album with a splash.

 

Additional tracks include his hit collaboration “Left and Right” (feat. Jung Kook of BTS), which has served as Puth’s highest charting debut, reeling in over 400 million streams and 214 million video views. Other tracks include the genre-bending “Smells Like Me“, which UPROXX described as a “modern pop and ’80s synth ballad”; and the “haunting” (ROLLING STONE) “I Don’t Think That I Like Her”, featuring Travis Barker on drums.

 

Puth paints an expansive canvas of self-realization. Closing it out with “No More Drama,” punctuated by his hypnotic high register.

 

Celebrating the release, Puth is set to perform a medley of tracks on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, October 11th on NBC in addition to an appearance on ABC’s LIVE with Kelly and Ryan on Thursday, October 13th.

 

Puth will set off on his ‘One Night Only’ tour, produced by Live Nation. It offers 12 dates across North America, Canada, and Europe, with the run of intimate underplay shows kicking off in New Jersey on October 23rd at the Count Basie Center for the Arts. Puth will then make his way West stopping at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles on November 9th and wrapping at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz in Berlin on December 6th.

Tickets are available now at charlieputh.com/tour.
