    He still can’t quite help himself when it comes to penning goofy lines (“I don’t want to walk on the boardwalk / When you said to me, ‘I’m bored’”) and emotionally broad romantic gestures (“You’re the one who makes this house a home”), but for every lyrical cliché, there’s plenty of irresistible grooves to get totally lost in.

    Whatever’s Clever! lacks cleverness when it attempts to comment directly on the current pop culture climate. However, as a musical statement, it is both astute and clever. Puth’s wide array of stylistic samples proves he can make the sound of any decade feel fresh, regardless of what is trending today.

    Personal, endlessly catchy, and a mature step for the new father, this consistent effort might not shake anything up in the zeitgeist, but it's one that was made for his own personal and artistic growth.
