Charlie Puth's Marvin Gaye: Video review

Let's Get It On

"It's so subtle, I'm in trouble"

     This song is all over the radio. I hear it in my car, I hear it at work.  At first I thought it was just another Bruno Mars song.  Then I Googled the video and I was blown away by how much fun it is to watch.
     Charlie Puth has a great smile, killer dimples, and he totally sells this song.  The music has a great retro vibe. This video is smart and current and introduces a whole new generation to how much fun soul and doo-wop music can be without being sickly sweet.
      Meghan Trainor is great in this video and she and Charlie Puth play off each other well. She shows some real vocal chops in this song.  It was nice to hear her real voice.
     This video is so cool.  In this post Glee era it's great that we can have a conversation about girls kissing girls and boys kissing boys.  At the same time it's important to remember that bullying still goes on in high school.
