AceShowbiz - Charlie Puth has spilled when he will be releasing his new music. While some of the "Attention" singer's fans were excited following the revelation, others were concerned about the quality of his fourth studio album.

In a video that made its rounds on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday, December 22, it could be seen that the singer-songwriter was standing on a stage when he received a question about his forthcoming record. The question read, "When will you release your next album?"

In response, Charlie simply said, "At the top of next year." The "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer went on to explain, "So not five years, not four years, next year. Contractually obligated to release something next year, so."

It did not take long for the tweet to be flooded with online responses from X users. In the replies section, one in particular argued, "Seems sad to be contractually obligated to release something. It should be set up to release when inspiration hits. This would ensure better music overall."

Another stated, "It's gonna have 0 hits i fear." A third wrote, "Hope that doesn't mess up the quality at some point." A fourth asked, "He always talks about making music like it's a chore. What's the point of all his technical skill if he possesses no passion?"

A fifth added, "It may flop horribly." Meanwhile, a sixth asked, "Why do the kids still go into the music industry and get signed to contracts when they know they're going to be forced? has no one learned from (Ke$ha) v luke? it's sad."

Charlie has not released an album since 2022, when he launched his latest record titled "Charlie". Though so, he has launched some singles since then. Among them was "HERO", which he dropped in May 2024.

On May 21, Charlie praised fellow singer Taylor Swift for encouraging him to release "HERO". He wrote on Instagram, "I've never put out a song like this before- it's very different for me. But I want to thank @taylorswift for letting me know musically that I just couldn't keep this on my hard drive any longer."
