Charlie Puth is back on the road.
Following the release of his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, earlier this year, the singer/songwriter and prodigal producer kicked off his trek in support of the project with a career-spanning show in San Diego, California, on Wednesday night (April 22).
Taking the stage at the city’s Viejas Arena, Puth opened the show with a banger about giving yourself grace from his new album — track 2, “Beat Yourself Up” — before immediately going back and forth between older hits and Whatever’s Clever! tracks. The set included his 12-week Billboard Hot 100-topping smash with Wiz Khalifa, “See You Again,” along with catalog jewels such as “Attention,” “How Long” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore.”
Whatever’s Clever! dropped in late March, opening at No. 46 on the Billboard 200. He’s said that the project forced him “to take a closer look at myself” and “sing about things I normally wouldn’t sing about” so that his audience could finally get a chance to know him on a personal level.
With his tour’s opening night now in the books, the Grammy-nominated artist will next stop through arenas and theaters in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, New York City, Boston and more major North American cities in the coming weeks. Then, in June, he’ll head overseas for a European leg, wrapping the trek in the fall with a few shows in Asia, New Zealand and Australia.
