AceShowbiz - Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has discussed his upcoming album, Taylor Swift's impact on his songwriting and his aspirations for future collaborations. Despite previous successful collaborations with renowned artists, Charlie Puth expresses a desire for his next project to focus on empowering emerging talents. He aims to collaborate with individuals who have yet to receive their big break and contribute to their musical journey.

In a collaboration with BIC, Puth hosted a Creativity Camp to nurture young musicians and artists. Reflecting on his early experiences as a songwriter, he recalls composing his first melody at age seven, a moment that sparked his musical passion.

Taylor Swift's recent song, "The Tortured Poets Department", which name-drops Puth, has had a significant influence on his songwriting. He attributes her storytelling and lyricism as inspiration for his upcoming album, which he describes as a departure from his previous work.

While "Hero", Puth's May release, won't be included on the album, it represents the direction of his upcoming project. The song explores themes of helplessness and the inability to save loved ones from self-destruction.

Puth's new album, expected to release around 2025, promises to be a departure from his previous work and showcases the influence of Taylor Swift and his desire to enhance his storytelling.
