Charlie Puth is, objectively, busy these days. In October, he released the Phil Collins-indebted “Changes,” the delectable first taste of his fourth album “Whatever’s Clever,” out today. He chased it with a pair of eight-show residencies at the Blue Note in Los Angeles and New York, followed by a milestone performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl last month. Amid it all, he released a handful of follow-up singles including “Cry” with Kenny G and “Home” featuring Hikaru Utada. It feels poetic, somehow, in the grand scheme of things, that he announced the birth of his first child with wife Brooke just three days before “Whatever’s Clever” arrived.
