hating the lack of bridges in certain tiktok-focused songs but this is a whole friend JAM. the enya-ish "ha-ha-ha"s are genius and the best part of the melody.
Again, bring back the bridge!!
I like the song but I think it could be weirder production wise, hyperpop kind of stuff.
And I didn't mind about the bridge.

I'm really into the three tracks she did with Greg Kurstin.

Her album is out, it includes the ones produced by Greg Kurstin and this one:

The three songs she wrote with Greg Kurstin are my absolute faves.
The songwriting is flawless.

I like it but what's up with Charlie with Left and Rights? He did a song Left Right Left on his debut album.
If this is the direction BTS' members are going for I'm all in.
He previewed the song on Tiktok.
I think it's pretty cheesy.

I like the beat..very dry and thick
I thought the snare in the end was wrong, but after a second listen I feel it's meant to be oversaturated, odd choice but I love it
i'm personally not a fan of the snare. sounds messy
Maren Morris — Make You Say (prod. BEAUZ & Zedd)
Written by Charlie Puth, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Zedd, BEAUZ, Maren Morris
A pre-pandemic song. Some fans believed Charlie will sing it.
[spotify]https://open.spotify.com/track/1elhmWW7Bv0MOQj2gAsyoV[/spotify]
It's fine but its hook is not nearly as good as The Middle, BEAUZ look the replacement of Grey
The pre chorus is catchy but the song doesn't really go anywhere

Charlie has some great ideas but his voice is overproduced to hell
His voice has reached a new level of grating and abrasive with this new one.
He needs someone to help him vocal produce. He's a skilled producer & melody maker but sucks at producing his own vocals. It's like Melodyned squealing
Mixing Engineer:
Manny Marroquin & Charlie Puth
Not my fave release by him.
In the latest Sound On Sound (https://app.blackhole.run/#JomVZqOKBi1KQqYzHtQCgCc3Vp4VsNQag8hBWPae8NH5) interview
Max Martin: 'Record the audio, and if it sounds fucked-up, it is probably going to add some cool artefacts to the record.'
Charlie switched to showing new material in TikToks because Elton John said his music sucks and the manager in a record company who was reviewing his material left him.
Charlie starts making a song only if its melody stuck in his head for some time.
He owns 27 synthesizers
With all the melody combinations being already used, and really not-so-fresh or clever arrangements, it is hard to sustain enthusiasm for music. Of course for new generations it's still a new experience and they want their own piece of the pie, but unfortunately, unlike 80's and 90's music repeats itself in a dull and uninteresting way. I suppose Max and the gang who I respect for their work, with their rules that got them rich unfortunately killed the curiosity and creativity of the pop music industry. I suppose once everyone discovers that those rules don't work anymore we will see a new creativity era, hopefully. But the drawback of creativity is that you cannot be a new Max one-key-unlocks-all-doors master. You can have a limited stride of hits and move on to make place for the next hitmaker, as we always had in music history. A Cheiron saga was nice but it's over, and probably won't be repeated in a long time.

Very based statement. This is what I've been trying to tell people over the last decade about why current pop music or music as a whole has been repetitive unmemorable predictable unmelodic untalented garbage. Only those who have little interests or close-minded will eat up anything that comes out nowadays on the radio like veal farm cattle. Yes Max and his crew are talented guys but they should have stayed in the late 90s early 2000s and moved on to expanding their sound to make it more ambitious and inspirational rather than the opposite. This is the reason why so many boomers young and old criticize modern music as a whole because of corporatize noise like that from people that are talentless that only have their voice to go along but that's now A Lost art thanks to auto-tune for killing the crooning singer/pop diva by making them sound like a soulless robot. If the industry and those high in record executives want to know why their industry is in the tank they not only have themselves to blame but they're greed foremost.
