During the chorus, he isolates one line to the left side audio and then repeats it only on the right side so, if you listen to the song with headphones on or in the car, it sounds like Puth is on your left and right side. Puth plays around with the left and right audio tracks in a way I don’t often hear. Their voices pair perfectly together on the track and the lyrics are catchy. Jungkook is the only feature on the entire album and Puth made a great choice collaborating with him. The most notable song on Puth’s third album is “Left and Right” featuring Jungkook, a singer from BTS. Listeners, like myself, can certainly find lyrics that they strongly connect to, which is something I can’t say about Puth’s first two albums. Many of the tracks on this album tackle the emotions of a breakup and trying to pull yourself back together after one. Now, Puth is more vulnerable than ever and sings about more relatable themes. “Charlie” is a complete 180 on those previous albums. Singing sad songs about being famous can only resonate so much with his audience. Catchy lyrics and great vocal performances by Puth helped overcome this emotional detachment, but not nearly enough. In my opinion, the issue with those releases were that the listener couldn’t feel the same emotions Puth was trying to convey.
Puth has released some great songs in the past, but his previous two albums aren’t widely listened to outside of a few main hits. Over four years after his sophomore album was released in May 2018, Charlie Puth finally put out a new, full-length album titled after his name, “Charlie.” This release is far more relatable than most of his previous work, combining melancholy lyrics with vibrant melodies to pack an emotion-filled punch in every track.
