Singer-songwriter <a href=”/music/Charlie-Puth”>Charlie Puth</a> is bringing his Voicenotes Tour to Asia from Oct. 29 to Nov. 14. The tour will be produced by Live Nation Asia.
Over the past three years, Charlie Puth has proven himself commercially with the extraordinary success of four multi-platinum hits: “One Call Away,” “Marvin Gaye” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore” from his platinum-selling, Top 10 debut album, Nine Track Mind, as well as his breakout hit, “See You Again.”
“See You Again” was the best-selling song of 2015 worldwide, spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, earned Puth three Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe nomination, and nine-times-platinum certification in the U.S.
Puth was eager to prove himself artistically when it came time to make his second album, Voicenotes, named after the trusty iPhone app he uses to collect his musical ideas. Puth co-wrote every song and recorded and produced the album entirely himself (except for one song he co-produced with Max Martin), mainly at his home studio in Los Angeles.
“I wanted it to be a story of my travels from the East Coast to the West Coast and how my growing fame has affected my mind in good and bad ways,” he told Billboard Radio China. The first three singles — “Attention,” “How Long” and “Done For Me” featuring <a href=”/music/Kehlani”>Kehlani</a> — cover that territory.
“Whenever I met anybody, they often knew more about me than I knew about myself,” he shared. “I’d never dealt with anything like that before.”
Songs like “LA Girls,” “Like A Boy” and “Slow It Down” detail different aspects of the rarified life of someone who feels like he should be enjoying the glittering lifestyle of fabulous parties and ample romantic opportunities, but doesn’t — something Puth addresses on his self-acceptance anthem “The Way I Am,” which opens with the following lines: “Maybe I’m a get a little anxious/ Maybe I’m a get a little shy/ Cuz everybody’s trying to be famous/ And I’m just trying to find a place to hide.”
