Album Review: Charlie Puth - Nine Track Mind

StarStarHalf Star

"Charlie Puth goes full teen idol here on his first album."

More Charlie Puth Charlie Puth Profile

Instead of taking what works so well for him and simply rolling with it, Charlie Puth goes full teen idol here on his first album.

Most people would know 24-year-old Charlie Puth as the centrepiece of Wiz Khalifa's See You Again, a moving tribute to the late Paul Walker. Puth's chorus, which he wrote himself, ended up overshadowing Khalifa's verses, and the song rendered him an overnight success. However, Puth's boyish falsetto is actually quite accomplished. But hearing it used to convey lyrics about "making out" in the back of a limousine, it becomes clear just how young his target audience is. Stay tuned for his Bieber moves.
