Shawn Mendes Drops New Album ‘Shawn’ and It’s Basically a Musical Hug—Stream It Now!

Buy Me A Coffee

Shawn Mendes has gone and dropped his brand-spanking-new self-titled album, Shawn. Yes, the man put his own name on it, because why not? If Beyoncé can do it, so can Shawn.

The 26-year-old crooner decided to serve us some soul on his FIFTH album (who even let him grow up this fast?). This time, Shawn stripped down—not literally, relax—to give us a raw, emotional, musical therapy session. It’s like his diary, but you don’t have to sneak into his room to read it.

“This album feels like medicine to me,” Shawn said in a statement. Medicine! Not ibuprofen or cough syrup, but the kind of medicine that makes you wanna cry in the car, feel feelings you didn’t know you had, and then text your ex, “Hey, hope you’re doing okay.”

Who’s in the Shawn Squad?
Shawn didn’t go it alone. He called up his all-star collaborators, including Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau, and Eddie Benjamin, to help him sprinkle musical magic. Bonus: Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska also jumped in to lend their wizardry. Basically, this album is like a potluck where everyone brought their A-game.

Track Highlights: Cry, Dance, Repeat
You’ll hear some familiar tunes like “Heart of Gold”, “Why Why Why”, and “Nobody Knows”—all songs that probably deserve their own reality TV shows. Oh, and let’s not forget “Isn’t That Enough,” which sounds like a question Shawn asks his dog when it demands another treat.

But wait, the real tea is in the track “The Mountain,” where Shawn opens up about his sexuality. And let me tell you, it’s not just a song; it’s a whole moment. Shawn recently told fans during a concert that he’s “still figuring it out.”

Where Can You Listen?
Feeling intrigued? Wanna feel all the feels? You can stream Shawn on Spotify right now! Or if you’re fancy and own a yacht (or just an iPhone), it’s also on Apple Music. So, grab your headphones, your emotional support snack, and maybe a tissue or 12.

Shawn Mendes gave us an album that’s equal parts therapy, vibes, and the soundtrack to your next existential crisis. What more could we ask for? Go listen, cry a little, and thank him later.
