As pop singer-songwriter Charlie Puth prepares to release his fourth studio album "Whatever's Clever!" in March 2026, he has been testing out new material during a 16-show residency at the legendary Blue Note jazz clubs in New York and Los Angeles over the past month.
Billboard was present at the final Los Angeles concert, where Puth, known as "Professor Puth" for his music education videos on TikTok, led an incredibly talented band through a masterclass of live pop performances. The intimate jazz club setting proved to be a perfect fit for Puth's catalog, as the crowd enthusiastically received both his biggest hits like "Attention," "We Don't Talk Anymore," and "See You Again," as well as unreleased tracks from the upcoming album, including "Beat Yourself Up" and "Changes."
Puth's new "Dad Rock" sound, which was showcased in the "Changes" music video that doubled as a pregnancy announcement, seems to be resonating with fans. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continues her chart dominance, holding the top spots on the Billboard 200 albums and Hot 100 songs charts with "The Life of a Showgirl" and lead single "The Fate of Ophelia." Rising artist Olivia Dean is also making gains on the Billboard 200 with her album "The Art of Loving."
