Charlie Puth loves a bit of reharmonisation – just check out his version of the US National Anthem from this year’s Super Bowl – so it’s perhaps unsurprising that, when he and his band turned up for work at the Tiny Desk studio, they did so with a set of songs that sounded markedly different from the ones that were committed to record.
The tone was set from the off, with a reworked version of 2016 hit We Don’t Talk Anymore. Gone were the tropical house inspired production flourishes, leaving Puth to perform the song in a way that better represented how he originally imagined it.
