Shawn Mendes Announces His New Self-Titled Album ‘Shawn’

Buy Me A Coffee

The one and only Shawn Mendes, at the tender age of 25, is making his musical comeback! That’s right, the heartthrob himself has announced that his brand-new self-titled album, *Shawn* (he’s keeping it simple), will be dropping on October 18, courtesy of Island Records. So, if you’ve been missing that velvety voice, get ready to swoon all over again!

Now, this isn’t just any old album—oh no. This is Shawn’s FIFTH studio album. Yes, you read that right. The guy’s been busy, and this time he’s been drawing inspiration from some serious globe-trotting and soul-searching adventures. After all, when your 2022 tour gets canceled, what else is there to do but travel the world and contemplate the meaning of life, right?

According to a top-secret, ultra-serious press release, this album “represents his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date.” Translation: Shawn’s about to spill all the tea, and we’re here for it. Each song is like a deep, philosophical chat between you, Shawn, and the universe. So, get ready to experience some major feels.

Now, let’s talk about where this musical magic happened. Shawn didn’t just record this album in any old basement studio. Nope! He took a grand tour of some of the most exotic and vibey locations on Earth. We’re talking Nosara, Costa Rica (for when you need those jungle vibes), Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, NY (for the small-town feels), Bear Creek Studio in Washington State (because, you know, bears), Darkhorse Recordings in Nashville (where country music dreams are made), and the legendary Electric Lady in New York City (because it’s just plain cool).

Shawn didn’t go it alone either. He teamed up with an all-star squad to bring this album to life, including Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau, and Eddie Benjamin. And if that wasn’t enough, songwriting gurus Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska also threw their lyrical genius into the mix. Plus, they roped in Chris Thile from the Punch Brothers to add some serious musical chops. Talk about a dream team!

But wait, there’s more! Shawn, ever the poet, had a few deep thoughts to share about this whole album-making journey. He revealed, “Music really can be medicine.” (Side effects may include uncontrollable dancing, singing in the shower, and the occasional tear-jerking moment.) Two years ago, Shawn didn’t even know who he was—cue existential crisis. A year ago, the poor guy couldn’t even set foot in a studio without turning into a ball of nerves. But look at him now, with 12 gorgeous songs ready to make us all feel warm and fuzzy inside. He’s basically saying, “Thank goodness for my squad, because life is tough, but friends and family make it bearable.” We’re not crying, you are!

And here’s the cherry on top: the album’s lead single, “Why Why Why,” and another banger called “Isn’t That Enough,” will both drop on August 8. So, mark your calendars, because this musical rollercoaster is about to leave the station. And if that wasn’t enough to get you hyped, there’s even a trailer. Buckle up—it’s going to be one heck of a ride!
