Charlie Puth Announces ‘Whatever’s Clever!’ Album & Reveals Big Life ‘Changes’ in Music Video: He’s Going to Be a Dad
Charlie Puth has a lot of “Changes” on the horizon.
On Thursday (Oct. 16), the pop singer/songwriter announced his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, due March 6 via Atlantic Records, alongside a music video for lead single “Changes” — and he lets fans in on some big personal news in the ’80s-inspired visual. Around the 2:30 mark in the Charlotte Rutherford-directed clip, Puth’s wife, Brooke Sansone, makes a cameo and they both place their hands on her belly to signal that they’re about to become a family of three. As a press release about the video says, “Charlie reflects on ‘Changes’ both personal and professional with a sweet cameo from his real-life wife Brooke Sansone.”
Puth started dating his longtime family friend Sansone in 2022 and they were married in September 2024. This will be the first child for both.
Whatever’s Clever! will be Puth’s fourth album and a follow-up to 2022’s Charlie, which spun off the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles “Light Switch” and “Left and Right” (with BTS’ Jung Kook).
After playing a series of sold-out shows at New York’s Blue Note jazz club last month, Puth is set to kick off eight concerts at Blue Note Los Angeles on Thursday night. For fans who can’t be in the intimate room, they can livestream his first performance at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT (RSVP here). For the NYC gigs, he welcomed Babyface, Jimmy Jam and Anthony Ramos as special guests.
