1. "See You Again" with Wiz Khalifa
One of the most memorable songs of the 2010’s is none other than “See You Again“ which was made to honor the memory of Paul Walker and included in the Furious 7 soundtrack. Although this song written by Charlie Puth and sung by Wiz Khalifa never fails to remind anyone of loss and pay tribute to the departed. That mellow tune and insertion of Puth’s beautiful vocal range singing along with an emotional piano accompaniment fused with Khalifa’s deep rap lyrics made this song a hit across the world; the song received several awards and was nominated for a Grammy award.
2. "Attention" with Selena Gomez( Alive Performances )
Although Selena Gomez was not featured on the studio version of the hit song “Attention,” the interaction between Puth and Gomez during their dance on stage has well demonstrated their love angles. He brought out her vocal prowess, particularly during their duets as the energy brought out during the practice of this song is always considered electrifying. A song in its most elemental sense reflecting a catchy bass line and existential lyrical content also reveals Puth’s maturation and his gifts for churning out irresistible pop hits.
3. "We Don’t Talk Anymore" featuring Selena Gomez
They teamed up for a song that had Puth being featured by Gomez to deliver a track that is apt for anyone going through the melancholy of post-breakup. The opening line, “We Don’t Talk Anymore” is a perfect mix of pop and tropical house, which saw the combined vocals of Puth and Gomez entwined into the jam-underpinning groove in minimalism. The lyrics of the song are profound and catchy, and its tune made it one of the biggest pop songs in history further propelling Puth as a pop star.
4. "Done for Me" featuring Kehlani
‘Done for Me,’ is one of the singles from Puth’s second studio album ‘Voicenotes.’ This song was released as the eighth track on Kehlani’s ‘Hope You’re Feeling Well (Demo)’ EP released in January of this year Supa contains elements of funk and notable ‘80s influence, especially, rich and sharp synthesizers. Puth and Kehlani’s clinging together adds an element of a couple going through the wringer; with the mid-tempo track and synth-heavy instrumentals giving a sense of nostalgia while keeping it modern. The collaboration aims to underline Puth’s musical proclivities as well as to demonstrate his openness to modern music and classics.
5. "Sober" with G-Eazy
”Sober,” featuring G-Eazy, another artist affiliated with the trap music subgenre, was a blend of two very different sounds. Puth crafted a catchy, friendly-as-sweet-summertime chorus that played as a nice contrast to G-Eazy’s gritty, circular lyricism. The topic, depicting a few nights of regret and reflection together with the dark atmosphere of the song’s production, made The Hunger Games’ song stand out among other tracks in both singers’ discography.
6. "One Call Away" (Live with Meghan Trainor)
Although Meghan Trainor was not present in the creation of ‘One Call Away’, their performance has been nothing short of magical for every audience. When the stars perform the song live, it is even more special for me because two vocalists complement each other in a very harmonious manner. The emotions poured into these lyrics by Puth, as well as his strong vocal on the chorus, are well-supported and enhanced by Trainor’s backup vocals and addition to the live performances of these two songs.
7. "How Long" (Remix featuring French Montana)
For instance, Puth’s “How Long” featuring French Montana is quite illustrative in that the feature can indeed bring a new kind of energy to a track. Alongside the catchy hooks, French Montana provides rap verses that are entirely different from the mainstream pop sound, which of course contributes to the verses sounding richer and more interesting to listen to. The tune’s fun bass line and memorable chorus are preserved, but Montana adds her own creative stamp to the beat to create a new experience out of the remix.
8. "Marvin Gaye" featuring Meghan Trainor
An early example of his ability to crack the charts, “Marvin Gaye” allowed Puth to duet with Meghan Trainor and have a little fun paying tribute to one of the true greats in soul music. The lyrics of the song are quite sexual and the song is a mix of pop and dance, which was not only enjoyable but also full of energy, Puth and Trainor seemed to have a good banter as friends. Despite mixed success in borrowing from the Drake formula, it put forward Puth’s talent of creating pop tracks that areplexing.
Conclusion
It could be argued that this is because of the artist’s ability to work with other artists, though one cannot question the skills and quality that Charlie Puth displays in his performances and tracks. When it comes to ballads, down to electronic step or funky dancing, Puth displays great versatility to collaborate with more versatile artists and churn out songs that will definitely leave a listener with a memorable impression. As a writer with a team of fellow writers such as rap legends or pop princesses, Puth has continued to employ the use of collaborations that thrill fans globally.
