Charlie Puth, who is known for being a passionate musician, shared a lesson for his 18.9 million followers on Instagram and other social media platforms.
After Taylor Swift was accused for ripping off songs from different artists on The Life Of Showgirl, it seems Charlie has come to the rescue.
The Light Switch hitmaker seemingly decided to take matters in his own hands as he gave a detailed account of Interpolation.
Pointing out the ongoing “discussion about when two songs have similar melodies,” Charlie revealed that there are “only 12 notes on the scale.”
Demonstrating on his beloved piano and white board, the musician admitted a new song will have “similarities to an older song.”
The Attention crooner described the “four-note threshold” and how the tracks end up resembling and differing from each other.
Towards the end of the clip, the pop icon reminded everyone that “sometimes artists will accidentally interpolate each other and it’s almost never done maliciously.”
He insisted to stop “demonising this when it happens,” which was seen as a support for the songstress who is facing a similar situation.
One of the users noted in the comment section: “Is he lowkey defending Taylor?” to which another admirer responded: “I think he’s high key defending Taylor.”
Meanwhile, the 14-time Grammy winner is being criticised and her album is being subjected to online scrutiny.
After its release on October 3, a trend began online where influencers would play her new tracks and compare it to songs from other artists.
