The first Charlie Puth song I ever seriously listened to was “How Long” after I saw him perform it one night on The Late Late Show With James Corden, and I loved everything about it.

I followed each single until this album came out.

I remember the first time I listened to “Voicenotes” in full and it was during one of my final exams for one of my semesters of college.

This album is excellent, and it stands out in comparison to most pop albums released today.

It has this “difference” in the fact that it isn’t mindless pop music, and it’s more musical.

It’s music you’d actually want to sit down and listen to.
