Charlie Puth

I know that I delayed people getting to know me for a very, very long time.

And the way to do that is through the music.

I'm still figuring it out.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the Trillium bass line.

all that stuff disguised into pop music, which again, going back to my friend, Mikey Keenan, he was probably the reason why I allowed myself to even make that album.

Like one of the reasons in implementing the R&B into pop.

Yeah, many times over.

There's a whole... I think in like two and a half minutes into the record, there's a whole...

jazz solo that i still struggle playing to this day because we sped the tape up and it's really it's so fun to play it's a musician's favorite song it's my favorite song to play live because it's just the pocket is so so groovy and you know if you listen to how long has this been going on she said boy tell me honestly was it real or just for show that's a that's like a

That's like the great American songbook chord.

I'll preface it with that.

But when I do nail it, it's because I was thinking about the listener before myself.

I never make a song and think, oh, this is going to make me look so cool.

I always consider... It's the school dance.
