Elton John Gave Charlie Puth the Hard Truth

Charlie Puth says that Elton John told him that the music he made in 2019, “sucked.” He also says that Elton was right. Saying, “He was brutally honest with me.”

Puth went on to explain, that basically he told him that he could make a lot better music and he said that he should just make it himself. Puth appreciated the constructive criticism and said that it was exactly how he felt about it too.

Puth said, “I didn’t really like any of the music I put out in 2019, and I didn’t want to make an album of that,” he said. “I felt like I was kind of pretending to be a cool guy.”

He released several singles in 2019 that failed to make a splash, including “I Warned Myself,” “Mother” and “Cheating on You.”
