New music Fridays are a thrilling, yet daunting prospect for any music lover.
It’s essentially a weekly holiday where fan-favorite artists and fresh faces alike drop their latest offerings for all the world to hear, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural goodies. But who has the time to sit there and listen to everything before updating their playlists? There’s just too much good stuff! (And, if we’re being honest, usually a few stinkers, too.)
As it turns out, we do. Welcome to The MixtapE!
New music Friday is no joke for Charlie Puth!
On April 8, the singer released an emotional new song ironically called “That’s Hilarious.” According to the 30-year-old, it’s one of the most powerful songs he’s ever helped create.
“Every time I hear it, I’m kind of brought back to a time that was really, really challenging in my life,” Charlie said in a statement. “I never told people what happened to me and the pain that I went through going through the worst breakup of my life in 2019…This is the hardest song that I ever had to put together, and I’m so excited for you to hear it.”
