This week on “I’ve Been Meaning To Listen To That”, we review WHATEVER’S CLEVER & VOICENOTES by Charlie Puth with special guest Fran Hoepfner! Plus, we rank our favorite white male (and non-binary) pop stars on a tier list, discuss the bratty petulant vibe that Charlie had during his voice notes era, how the album operates as a parallel to Carly Rae Jepsen’s EMOTION, how Puth matures and ages into an adult musician with his album “Whatever’s Clever!”, and more!
