Shawn Mendes has teased his third album, the follow-up to 2016's 'Illuminate' with the following photo, captioned 'album soon come', on Instagram:

*picture removed*
! I'm looking forward to hearing more bangers from him, "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" and "Treat You Better" are both excellent so more like that and less songs like "Mercy" please x

Sacreligious comment!

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 12th February 2018, 03:15 PM

Stitches remains his best for me, I hope we get a few more uptempos on this album (as good as he is at ballads)

Posted by: Dexton 12th February 2018, 03:29 PM

Wow where was that photo taken? Excited to hear more music from him, I liked his older stuff and Something Big was on my playlist for a while when it was released so I have high hopes this time again!

Posted by: Jonjo 12th February 2018, 03:31 PM

The singles from his last album were incredible. The album, not so much. A bit too dreary considering the singles were actual bangers. In fact, most of his singles have been fantastic. 'Stitches' is my least fave, but only in a 7 out of 10 coz everything else is a 9 sort of way.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 12th February 2018, 06:12 PM

There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back is my favourite by him so far, so I'm definitely hoping for more songs of that ilk (uptempos in general - bring us some bops!)

Posted by: Regina 12th February 2018, 06:30 PM

I really ought to invest more in him. I always kinda liked his body music but never bothered beyond the singles.

He's only 19 though? Jesus, usually I don't go for guys under 30.

Posted by: Cody On Ice 12th February 2018, 06:51 PM

god PLEASE give it to me NOW

Posted by: Liаm 12th February 2018, 07:03 PM

The album won't be the only thing coming soon xxx

There's Nothing Holding Me Back is probably his best to date (although that and Stitches are both total 11s) so if there's more of that I'm on board! Neither of his albums as a whole were that great but singles wise he hasn't put a foot wrong.

Posted by: Josh! 12th February 2018, 07:55 PM

Not really thinking about the MUSIC when I see that picture tbh *.*

(TYB, Stitches & TNHMB all bop so hard so I'm very excited for him to add to his holy trinity)

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 19th March 2018, 10:05 PM

FYI, it's called "Lost In Japan". "In My Blood" is the one that it's going to be properly pushed.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2018, 09:17 PM

'Lost In Japan' is coming tonight at midnight again. So about 4am here in the UK! Exciting!

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd March 2018, 04:06 AM

'Lost In Japan' is out there.

I feel like this is the Justin Timberlake inspired one that he mentioned some time ago when asked what direction his album was going in.

Quite groovy and funky. It's good in an album filler sort of way. Not one I'll go back to I don't think, but it's v different for him!

I'm kinda happy that I'm not into this as much as IMB tbh. Coz I hate it when an artist releases two strong songs and the one that's not meant to be the single pulls ahead and ends up being the bigger hit (poor, brave Castle On The Hill) 🙃

Posted by: Midge 23rd March 2018, 04:14 AM

"Lost In Japan" was alright on first listen; "In My Blood" is growing with every listen. He sounds so incredibly mature on it; love how raspy his voice gets.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd March 2018, 04:21 AM

Yeah In My Blood is much better, this is solid enough but I don't think I'll be going back to it that much compared to In My Blood or There's Nothing Holding Me Back.

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 23rd March 2018, 06:46 AM

Lost In Japan is great, but it honestly sounds like he just re-recorded a Timberlake demo. It's even got 2001 Michael Jackson vibes. Still, have yet to hear a bad song from this young man (I Know What You Did Last Summer has become a lot more bareable to me now I actually like Camila's voice) but have to agree that In My Blood is miles better, and a song I can see connecting with a wider audience so hopefully it should have some staying power over the next few weeks.

Posted by: Dexton 23rd March 2018, 07:18 AM

Actually preferring Lost In Japan right now, I love the funky groove to it and sort of fills the Pre-2018 Justin Timberlake hole I have In My Blood is nice and will probably grow on me as I hear it more

Posted by: Hayzayy 23rd March 2018, 08:22 AM

Both songs are FAB, can't wait for his album!

Posted by: Theo. 23rd March 2018, 11:09 AM

On first listen, I immediately prefer "Lost In Japan". I agree with the Justin comparisons, it's very '20/20' era. Neither are what I would have expected him to come back with though but I'm enjoying them both!

Posted by: Regina 23rd March 2018, 01:16 PM

I like Lost In Japan but I was so blown away by In My Blood that is dulls the effect of the new song tbh.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 23rd March 2018, 06:10 PM

Lost In Japan is another brilliant song, not as good as In My Blood and he definitely made the right decision in terms of singles, but I'm glad he's showing us another side of the album!

Posted by: Cameron 23rd March 2018, 06:12 PM

Picture has been removed.

Posted by: Rob S 6th April 2018, 09:46 PM

Enjoying this a lot now. the chorus especially as many have said the rasp in his voice really makes it standout.

Posted by: Theo. 19th April 2018, 01:31 PM

He performed in the Live Lounge today and revealed that there is a Prince-inspired track on the album.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd April 2018, 12:22 AM

I said this in the other thread, but he really is just enjoying himself and loving his life atm! It's so nice to see!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 26th April 2018, 01:36 AM

Seems like the album announcement is imminent! There's a live stream going on at the moment: http://www.shawnmendesthealbum.com, seemingly an art installation - potentially the album cover?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 26th April 2018, 04:05 AM

1. In My Blood

Julia Michaels and Khalid are in the album. The former features in "Like To Be You", while the latter is on "Youth".

Posted by: Midge 26th April 2018, 08:45 AM

Best album artwork of the year so far tbh

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2018, 09:17 AM

Yeah. Tbh, I don't get what's so bad about the artwork tbh It's not my favourite ever, but it's almost certainly not the worst imo.

Posted by: JosephAvery 26th April 2018, 09:47 AM

Haaate the artwork but I am soooo excited for the album!!

Posted by: Regina 26th April 2018, 10:34 AM

That artwork is hideous. I can see what the intention was but it was so poorly done. It's like they picked an early concept mock up rather than the finished product.

It's all very "person who wants to be an artist trying a Marcello Monreal piece and failing"

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th April 2018, 10:38 AM

I don’t even know what they’re going for with that artwork.

I mean, I suppose they’re trying to be ‘arty’ but still.

Posted by: Dexton 26th April 2018, 10:58 AM

I think the separate face piece (??) should be further apart from his actual face? I like it and it’s definitely one of the more inspired artworks recently but on first glance I just thought he just had a really fat/wide face

Very excited for the Khalid & Julia Michaels collab though, I’ve basically fallen in love with both of them in the past year since they came on my radar so I couldn’t be happier *.* In My Blood and Lost In Japan have surpassed my expectations from him too so he could even pull a George Ezra for me (poor Justin)

Posted by: Cameron 26th April 2018, 12:15 PM

They hate the artwork cause he's fully clothed.

HYPED FOR THIS.

Posted by: John-James 26th April 2018, 12:18 PM

Yes that will be it, they wanted a little bit more bare neck.

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 26th April 2018, 12:18 PM

Don't most people?

I'm in the minority of not being fussed on the other two tracks, still looking forward to this!

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th April 2018, 12:23 PM

Love the artwork

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2018, 01:31 PM

He has just solidified himself as the nicest and most humble guy in the industry!



Literally him and Ariana are all I need right now.

Posted by: Regina 26th April 2018, 02:30 PM

Can we talk about how some of these titles scream "coming out" tho? "Queen" and "Particular Taste"

Are we getting an instant grat tomorrow?

Posted by: Liаm 26th April 2018, 02:34 PM

He's such a sweetheart bless him

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 26th April 2018, 02:35 PM

Maybe. But all the speculation on Shaun's sexuality is tiresome tbh. If he is gay, it's up to him when to come out.

Posted by: Cameron 26th April 2018, 02:43 PM

Exactly, who really cares? Shawn coming out isn’t going to make a random homosexual on the internet suddenly have 87% of a chance sleeping with him... men can show a feminine side and a genuine gratitude towards women without being gay

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 26th April 2018, 02:45 PM

Although it would be nice to have an openly gay male 'big' popstar.

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2018, 02:52 PM

Poor Sam Smith.

The first openly gay male 'big' popstar to get forgotten about.

Posted by: John-James 26th April 2018, 02:58 PM

I literally thought this too Don't forget "When You're Ready"

Posted by: Regina 26th April 2018, 03:08 PM

About as tiresome as people taking offense and jumping on any old light hearted comment made in jest.

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 26th April 2018, 03:09 PM

I wasn't getting at you, I actually agreed with your post, I was talking about in general.

Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 27th April 2018, 05:38 AM

i think he meant an openly gay "big" male popstar who people actually like

Posted by: Parallel Reality 27th April 2018, 05:57 AM

I think that artwork would look better if the RHS part of the face was gone completely and it was just the flowers.

Posted by: Hayzayy 27th April 2018, 09:09 AM

Queen, Particular Taste, Why, When You're Ready, Nervous could all be about a coming out journey!
Not to mention all of the lyrics of "In my blood" with lines such as :
Just have a drink and you'll feel better
Just take her home and you'll feel better
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?
Like basically he keeps telling himself (in the song) that taking a girl home will make him feel better but it doesn't.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is gay and I don't care as it wouldn't change a thing, but it's nice to have a humble male pop start who don't give a shit about what people would think or how they could interpret his lyrics. He is adorable the way he is, straight or gay.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 28th April 2018, 01:05 PM

Except he does care & did an insta story last year confirming he wasn’t gay as he was sick of the rumours.

Posted by: Dexton 28th April 2018, 01:31 PM

These aren’t even rumours really, just very far out assumptions based on basically nothing.

Posted by: Liаm 28th April 2018, 01:36 PM

Internet gays seem to think if he's gay they have a chance or sth and want to fantasise about it lmao, he's an absolute sweetheart and gorgeous either way, so I don't care

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 28th April 2018, 01:48 PM

The thing that indicated it most to be was the interview on James Corden with Camila Cabello when he was insisting they’ve made out and she was completely denying it, it was so awkward 🙃

Posted by: Midge 28th April 2018, 01:53 PM

Shawn seems a lovely guy and as long as he’s happy that should be all that matters to fans!

If this is a "coming out" album though culturally this could be phenomenal.

Posted by: Dexton 28th April 2018, 02:01 PM

Oh yeah his whole relationship with Camila where the media said he either HAD to be dating her or he HAD to be gay

Posted by: Martyn 28th April 2018, 03:29 PM

It was like with Tom Daley (although that was more creepy as he was 14 when people started speculating).

Well you've gone from having no chance to having next to no chance. Like every straight girl and straight male celebrity.

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st May 2018, 03:15 PM

'Youth' (with Khalid) is out this Friday apparently

Posted by: BridgeCow 1st May 2018, 03:20 PM

Omg hyped for this Khalid collab cus Khalid

Posted by: Dexton 1st May 2018, 04:13 PM

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH NEW MUSIC THIS WEEK I can’t keep up tbh

I am almost certainly gonna love this though, new Shawn Mendes is way better than old Shawn Mendes and Khalid is just icing on the Shawn Mendes cake

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 1st May 2018, 04:50 PM

In My Blood is fast becoming my favourite Mendes song, but I hope Youth is a bit more commercial so it can get him another top ten as I don't IMB has a chance now (unless it gets a major boost from somewhere)

Posted by: AllieCat17 1st May 2018, 07:40 PM

I definitely prefer In My Blood over Lost in Japan, but with that many songs on the album, hopefully we'll get some WAY better ones too!

Posted by: lewistgreen 2nd May 2018, 08:17 PM

Youth is now coming 12pm EST / 5pm BST tomorrow, its release coincides with its premiere on Beats 1

Posted by: Theo. 2nd May 2018, 09:05 PM

Artwork:



Do we know if this is the next single or just a promo/instant grat?

I'm really excited to hear this, I'm only just properly getting into "In My Blood" but the bar for this album has already been set so high with that and "Lost in Japan", I really hope this collab doesn't disappoint.

Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 2nd May 2018, 09:11 PM

Probably just IG. I don’t think In My Blood is finished peaking yet.

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd May 2018, 04:13 PM

Posted by: Midge 3rd May 2018, 04:34 PM

Nice song but not sure their voices really go...

Posted by: Liаm 3rd May 2018, 10:56 PM

It's alright but definitely the weakest song so far. It feels like Khalid album filler

Posted by: Hayzayy 4th May 2018, 07:28 AM

Gorgeous song and his voice on it is perfect

I love the verses more than I love the chorus though!

Posted by: Hayzayy 5th May 2018, 12:23 PM

Oh I just realized the song is about Manchester and it makes it even more beautiful.

Posted by: Theo. 8th May 2018, 04:33 PM

He's announced a world tour, starting March 2019. Full list of dates are on his Instagram story.

6th April - SSE Hydro, Glasgow
7th April - Manchester Arena
9th April - Arena Birmingham
10th April - First Direct Arena, Leeds
13th April - 3Arena, Dublin
16th April - O2 Arena, London
17th April - O2 Arena, London

Screaming that he's coming to Leeds of all places!

Posted by: AllieCat17 8th May 2018, 08:20 PM

YOUTH is FIRE. Summer slam for sure, finally a single that actually gets me excited about the rest of this album

Posted by: Jay ☆ 14th May 2018, 04:22 PM

This tour advert has really helped In My Blood in the UK - it's climbed to #2 on iTunes and is in the Top 10 midweeks at #7!

~

The Deluxe version of the album has 16 tracks including In My Blood as track 15 and Youth as track 16 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shawn-Mendes-Album/dp/B07CLPCKWP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526314788&sr=8-1&keywords=shawn+mendes+deluxe&dpID=61KqGNp0pcL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch but doesn't specify what versions - maybe acoustic versions?

Posted by: UltraReputation 14th May 2018, 04:27 PM

Yeah that would make sense! I think an In My Blood acoustic version came out last week *.*

Posted by: lewistgreen 17th May 2018, 05:57 AM

Where Were You In The Morning is out on Friday

Posted by: Andrew. 17th May 2018, 08:21 PM

Anyone going to see him next year? 👀 Got Glasgow tickets, so excited *.*

Posted by: JosephAvery 17th May 2018, 08:30 PM

I got VIP tickets for London !!!!!! Ridiculously excited, and just as excited to tell my friend as it's a surprise birthday present for her 21st.

Posted by: Jonjo 17th May 2018, 08:52 PM

Aaah. Excited for you

Would love to see him, but Disneyland Paris is priority for me atm Very excited for this album and it's purely all down to IMB lmao. I've liked everything else, but IMB is on a different level haha.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 18th May 2018, 12:37 AM

I've got tickets too! Seeing him in Birmingham, with Jahq *.*

Posted by: Jonjo 18th May 2018, 12:57 AM

I wonder if they're planning on making 'Where Were You In the Morning?' the official 2nd single? Seems strange that they'd give just an instant grat a midnight in the US release otherwise?

Posted by: Dexton 18th May 2018, 04:47 AM

Where Were You In the Morning? is really nice. I think a sped up remix (Ryan Riback anyone) would work really well too, considering the first time I heard it the speed was on x1.25 and it sounded normal

Posted by: Jonjo 18th May 2018, 01:26 PM

2nd single it is not, so that theory is out the window lmao 🙃

First song I haven't cared for at all this era. It's very 'Justified' filler... meh.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 18th May 2018, 02:35 PM

I feel like the definition of what makes a song a single is becomingly increasingly more blurred. I mean, Billboard.com describes both Lost in Japan and Youth as singles - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8427848/shawn-mendes-khalid-twitter-new-song-youth - which in turn has the contributors of his Wikipedia pages defining them as singles too. Meanwhile, as well as Billboard, other sites such as Capital, Forbes, Idolator and Just Jared have described Where Were You in the Morning as being a single too.

In My Blood evidently got the big radio/video push and feels more traditionally like "a single", but the three lesser pushed songs are still doing things in a singular capacity and weren't exactly dropped onto music services with no fanfare. For instance, Youth's release was given promotional billboards, while Where Were You in the Morning was debuted as a live performance for Apple Music, just moments before its release.

Personally, I'm wondering if the terminology really matters much any more. A single was something tangible in the physicals era, and mostly clear cut when it was downloads, but in this streaming world it seems like the rule book has been thrown out of the window. I mean, Christina's put out three songs in very quick succession, and I guess none of them are likely to gain much traction... no matter if a song is described as being a lead single one moment and demoted to buzz single the next. To me it just seems like three songs, not one single + two instant grats.


Btw, the aforementioned performance of Where Were You in the Morning with Apple Music, which saw John Mayer join Shawn on stage, was so good! I caught the live stream on YouTube, but unfortunately it's Apple Music exclusive now.

Also when it comes to Justin Timberlake... I'd say the vibe Shawn has explored with Lost in Japan and WWYITM, is him doing Justin much better than Justin is doing Justin, currently.

Posted by: Andrew. 20th May 2018, 02:51 PM

Loving 'Where Were You In The Morning? Everything he's put out this era has been fire, I haven't actually listened to an album of his before so I'll give Illuminate a try. A male artist I actually stan *.*

Posted by: Jonjo 20th May 2018, 08:38 PM

He's performing twice at the BBMAs tonight!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 21st May 2018, 01:57 PM

Both performances were great Youth was really touching - a tribute to victims of gun violence.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st May 2018, 11:06 PM

'Nervous' is being released on Wednesday!

Oh and if you don't follow the lounge, there's reports of "a big male star is set to come out on a song in the near future". Whoever it is, I wish them all the best and it's gonna be a pretty big moment for pop culture regardless of who it is! But yeah, Shawn is the main name on everyones lips atm

Posted by: Theo. 21st May 2018, 11:50 PM

Really looking forward to this album! The performance of "Youth" at the BBMAs was really powerful and has completely sold the song to me and "In My Blood" continues to grow with every listen.

Do we know if "Nervous" is out at 5am or 1pm UK time on Wednesday?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 22nd May 2018, 03:04 AM

"Fallin' All In You" is available to purchase on 7digital now and you could do it https://www.7digital.com/artist/shawn-mendes/release/fallin-all-in-you-7879459. Oh! And looks like this is that song if the lyrics are taken into consideration, which you could check them https://genius.com/Shawn-mendes-fallin-all-in-you-lyrics.

Posted by: Dexton 22nd May 2018, 10:58 AM

Can he please stop dropping such amazing songs he needs to just chill out I’m so not ready for this album

Posted by: Jay ☆ 22nd May 2018, 02:55 PM

It's really odd that the song is only available on 7Digital, and it's not been mentioned on his socials at all - which makes me wonder whether its current availability is a mistake?

Unofficial upload here:



That lyric certainly stands out, although I suppose it could be Shawn singing in third person and it's actually the person he's singing about who previously "fell for men who weren't how they appear". Interesting though, and you could interpret other lyrics like "There's no safety net that's underneath, I'm free" in a particular way too.

Even if that isn't the song's meaning, regardless I think they're beautiful lyrics!

This album is shaping up to be excellent, I love or really like all five songs so far. A big step up from his previous album (which I did like, but 'Shawn Mendes' based on what we've heard so far is most definitely a step up).

What are we thinking for the album in terms of the UK chart? Could it be his first #1?

Posted by: Dexton 22nd May 2018, 03:14 PM

I think it's a surefire #1 album for him this time, In My Blood is becoming one of his biggest hits and this mature sound works much better for him.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 22nd May 2018, 05:23 PM

Fallin' All in You was co-written by Ed Sheeran and Particular Taste was co-written by Ryan Tedder.

Posted by: John-James 22nd May 2018, 07:33 PM

I can see it peaking at #3 like his last album. Illuminate opened with 15k in September and after an arguably bigger lead single. I'd love see the album reach #1 though of course but I'm doubtful it can open with nearly double his last album which is what it would need

Posted by: Cqmerqn 22nd May 2018, 07:35 PM

I’m thinking 22k

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 23rd May 2018, 01:28 AM

After I listened to "Fallin' All In You", I think it has a double entendre meaning. I mean, I agree that that particular line stands out, but I think it's because of the structure of the chorus, which instead of being "Falling all in you / (I) fell for men who weren't how they appear" is "Falling all in you / (You) fell for men who weren't how they appear" or even "Falling all in / you fell for men who weren't how they appear". Also, it's curious that the song ends with the line "Falling all in" without the "you".

Also, I haven't listened to most of his songs (besides the singles), so I don't know if he has songs where he's singing in third person, so in case he hasn't it would be interesting that this is the first one.

Regarding the release of the song, I guess that they (he and/or his label) planned to release a couple of songs (this one and "Nervous") a week before the album is out, but I assume they opted against this idea, choosing only one (the latter) and 7digital didn't receive the memo. The track has its own artwork (not the album artwork), so it makes think that it was something planned/later cancelled thing.

Posted by: lewistgreen 23rd May 2018, 05:25 AM

Oh wow Nervous is great!

Posted by: George.keh 23rd May 2018, 06:17 AM

Nervous is fantastic wow

Posted by: UltraReputation 23rd May 2018, 06:56 AM

Nervous is already my fave of this era so far 😍 What a bop and its obvious Julia had a massive involvement in this *.*

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd May 2018, 07:25 AM

Just come on here to say Nervous is a bop!

Proper stanning him at the moment

Posted by: Dexton 23rd May 2018, 08:16 AM

I love how all the single artworks have different flowers in the corner with quiet coloured backgrounds. None of them are too fancy but it's a nice look he's got going on with them. Nervous & Lost In Japan are my favs with the green & pink

Posted by: Theo. 23rd May 2018, 08:40 AM

"Nervous" and "Fallin All in You" are both great! The former in particular is such a bop! Bring on Friday as this album is shaping up to be excellent!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd May 2018, 12:06 PM

Which one's the coming out track?

Posted by: Midge 23rd May 2018, 12:28 PM

I'd imagine "Fallin' All In You" given the line about falling for men, but maybe that's more of a subtle hint and he's gonna throw it all out on "Queen"

Posted by: Andrew. 23rd May 2018, 02:28 PM

Posted by: Midge 23rd May 2018, 02:39 PM

Hahaha it sounds ominous if you interpret it in a certain way

If Shawn is giving us the musical album form of "Love, Simon" then that is massive; he will always be a huge part of LGBT history/culture if that's the case.

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd May 2018, 02:46 PM

'Nervous' is so good! Probs my 2nd fave after IMB.

Hyped for this on Friday!

It’s essentially the male version of “Bad Liar” + “Come Get It Bae” but I don’t care it’s so good

Posted by: Dexton 24th May 2018, 04:02 PM

I love this album. I use that word a lot here but this is genuinely a really great album. It's very personal and way more engaging than his last album ever was. I'm also 99.9999% he isn't "coming out" on this album. He mentions girls constantly and I'm fairly sure "You fell for men who weren't how they appear" is Shawn talking to a girl rather than him talking to himself.

Ed Sheeran & Johnny McDaid (Snow Patrol) are obviously involved in Fallin' All in You, Ed especially. Ryan Tedder has some backing vocals on Particular Taste too. Khalid & Julia Michaels are perfect collabs too, Julia's voice works so well with his

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2018, 05:00 PM

Nervous is SUCH a bop, definitely gonna do the rare thing of listening to this album at midnight as soon as it's out

Posted by: Andrew. 24th May 2018, 05:39 PM

Yeah no way is this a coming out album, more tightening the key on the closet door album Not that it has to be at all. I feel a bit bad for him as there seems to be a lot of pressure on him following that blind which didn’t interpret a lyric correctly. I fell for it so I can’t talk tbh :’)

Excited to listen tonight, all five songs are incredible ‘Where Were You In The Morning?’ is actually my favourite, SO chilled out and catchy *.*

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2018, 11:19 PM

Like To Be You is EVERYTHING oh my god, this is gonna challenge IMB as the best of this era although I have most of the album to go

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2018, 11:47 PM

VERY good album, really love it as a whole It's all very cohesive but there's enough variation so that the songs stand out. In My Blood and Like To Be You are definitely the highlights but Particular Taste, Nervous and Where Were You In The Morning are amaze too. I agree it feels more personal too, he had great songs I enjoyed before but there feels like there's more of a connection and an identity on this.

I'd maybe shave the last two songs off but on the whole FAB <3

Posted by: Ronald McJackson 24th May 2018, 11:58 PM

OMG HE HAS COMPLETELY STOLEN AND REPURPOSED BAD LIAR BY SELENA GOMEZ AND NAMED IT NERVOUS!

WTFFFFFF?

Posted by: Jonjo 24th May 2018, 11:58 PM

I'm up to 'Youth' and this is a much stronger album than 'Illuminate' (which wasn't bad, just didn't really have much going for it beyond the singles)! 'In My Blood' is the best ofc, but tbh there's been nothing that I dislike/consider a least fave on the album so far. But this is just one listen. 'Falling All In You' is soooo good and a fave though.



Slay me Mendes.

Posted by: Jonjo 25th May 2018, 12:09 AM

'When You're Ready' has a really familiar melody! I can't pinpoint exactly what exactly!

LOVE it though

Posted by: ElectroBoy 25th May 2018, 09:36 AM

Just listening to this now; great album and a step up from Illuminate.

Also Nervous Number 1 on the NMF playlist

Posted by: Bjork 25th May 2018, 12:08 PM

hope Fallin'all in you is a real collab with Ed, not another Divide leftover
definetly not a coming out album, rather the opposite, a sorta let's keep pretending album

Posted by: Jonjo 25th May 2018, 02:31 PM

'Fallin' All In You' kinda reminds me of 'I'll Be Missing You' by Puff Daddy! Not sure if anyone else hears it, but the riff is similar to me haha. Also, it sounds more like it'd belong more on 'x' than it would '÷' and that's not a bad thing

My album top 5:

01. In My Blood
02. Nervous
03. Like To Be You
04. Youth
05. Fallin' All In You

('When You're Ready' > 'Particular Taste' > 'Lost In Japan' are next for me)

Addicted to this album.

Posted by: JosephAvery 25th May 2018, 09:21 PM

He's really come into his own with this album hasn't he? It's so nice to hear his sound develop from Handwritten and Illuminate. My highlights are Nervous (a big hit in waiting surely?), Queen and Perfectly Wrong (this is gorgeous, there's nowhere near enough love for it! Shawn's voice against a piano backing is stunning ).

Posted by: Jonjo 25th May 2018, 09:26 PM

I think it's actually reminding me of 'Love Yourself' by the Biebs With a slight 'Fight For This Love' acoustic vibe.

But yeah, I agree about his development.

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 26th May 2018, 06:43 PM

'Mutual' is the BOP

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th May 2018, 07:42 PM

I'm gradually falling for him more and more as time goes by.

Posted by: Hayzayy 29th May 2018, 06:51 AM

Same ! The album is amazing and so is he !

Posted by: Cremey 29th May 2018, 07:06 AM

I was at rough trade yesterday and heard everyone screaming outside so went out to see what it was about, he walked right past me but I had no idea who he was 🙃 officially out of touch

Posted by: blacksquare 29th May 2018, 05:02 PM

I'm surprised he was even at Rough Trade

wot

Posted by: JosephAvery 29th May 2018, 05:08 PM

^ he was opposite Rough Trade, there was a one-day pop up merch shop there! He met a select few fans there in the morning and I arrived (to innocently browse the merch) just minutes before he left the shop he waved in my direction and I've still not recovered tbh

Posted by: Andrew. 29th May 2018, 05:10 PM

Omg if I met him I don't think I'd survive to be on here to tell the tale

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🍸 1st June 2018, 02:39 PM

I'm waiting for an official information, but "Nervous" has been sent to UK radio through the latest HitDisc compilation this week. That said, I'm not sure if this is a FYC for programmers to include the track or it's going to be release as the second single of the album.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 1st June 2018, 02:49 PM

'Nervous' was played after the chart show on R1 last week and the presenter said it was the next single, if that counts for anything.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🍸 1st June 2018, 03:10 PM

Well... this could be an indication as you said.

Posted by: Bjork 5th June 2018, 07:08 AM

he did the carpool karaoke thing!!!

Posted by: Jonjo 11th June 2018, 10:34 AM

He had a whole week on James Corden last week. From what I can see, he performed 'Nervous', 'Lost In Japan', 'Like To Be You' (Julia was there too) & 'Perfectly Wrong'. He also did Carpool Karaoke and some other funny skits with James, which are worth watching.

Nervous:


Lost In Japan:


Like To Be You:


Perfectly Wrong:

Carpool Karaoke:


Couple of Skits:

Posted by: Jonjo 11th June 2018, 10:35 AM

All of those performances were great!

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 24th September 2018, 12:16 AM

Looks like "Lost In Japan" will be pushed as the next single and it will be remixed by Zedd. The latter posted https://twitter.com/Zedd/status/1043938126849138688 on his social media, while Shawn retweeted it and posted https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFID8DgShZ/ on Instagram.

Posted by: Riser 24th September 2018, 01:57 AM

Better than nothing I guess

Posted by: Cody Sabathy 24th September 2018, 02:40 AM

akdkdkdjkdjk YES (also one of the highlights from his album!)

His promotional team is just a MESS. They literally could have had something out in July when In My Blood peaked in the US and then saved Lost In Japan for a couple weeks from now.

(can we just talk about how Zedd pretty much was hardcore teasing something with Shawn for the past three months and it ended up being a remix?)

Posted by: Jay ☆ 24th September 2018, 03:05 AM

I feel like they really dropped the ball with Youth, that seemed like it could have ended up being a hit.

Posted by: Bjork 24th September 2018, 04:35 AM

Boo very bad call
Its a nice little song that i really like but
Its not a worldwide smash hit
They should release Youth

Posted by: Hans 24th September 2018, 05:57 AM

I think it's a good decision. Khalid is already running very close to the edge of overexposure, he's not exactly versatile.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 25th September 2018, 08:07 PM

The Zedd remix of "Lost In Japan" will be released tomorrow at midnight EST / this Thursday at 5am. BST.

Posted by: Theo. 4th November 2018, 05:53 PM

He's releasing a music video for "Youth" tomorrow at 3pm GMT to coincide with the US midterms on Tuesday.

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 4th November 2018, 07:01 PM

I hope Youth becomes the next single, it could be very big with the right push.

'Lost In Japan' is like one step forward two steps back in terms of chart success at the minute. I can't see it re-entering the Top 40.

Posted by: lewistgreen 6th November 2018, 06:31 AM

Posted by: Parallel Reality 8th November 2018, 08:37 AM

This album campaign has been super messy. Youth is my favourite after the lead though.

Posted by: Bjork 8th November 2018, 09:26 AM

they should have waited
they just released the Lost in Japan video

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 8th November 2018, 05:56 PM

They got the hit single and a (US) number one album, it seems like the team/label just wasn't bothered about maintaining it after that.

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 7th December 2018, 03:26 PM

Nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 10th December 2018, 04:33 PM

They never seem to know what to do with him post-album do they?

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y 10th December 2018, 04:50 PM

Yeah honestly there was so much potential in this album. He needs a new team.

Posted by: Wreatheo 19th December 2018, 09:26 PM

He's releasing a remix EP on Friday, not including the Zedd remix of "Lost in Japan", oddly. Tracklist:

1. "Where Were You in the Morning? (feat. kaytranada)
2. "Why" (feat. Leon Bridges)
3. "Youth" (feat. Khalid and Jessie Reyez)

Posted by: DexTheHalls 21st December 2018, 06:00 AM

They all sound good but they aren't remix single versions or anything really, it's like the most pointless release ever Not even including Lost In Japan which actually was a single version and did become a minor hit

Posted by: lewistgreen 21st December 2018, 06:52 AM

I don’t think the intention is to be singles here? Shawn said it was a holiday release for his fans. Quite liking the Kaytranada one

The setlist looks amazing! SO excited to hear Fix You (if it sticks around for the duration~), think that'll be another incredible cover. Think I'm gonna be broke after getting the merch too.

Posted by: UltraReputation 10th March 2019, 04:15 PM

I'd leave after the first 5 songs Songs #2-#5 are by far my favourite four songs of his

Posted by: Calum 10th March 2019, 08:05 PM

mess

The only thing irking me just a tad about the setlist is some of the songs from this album being snubbed in favour of album tracks from Illuminate? Not that I don't like the songs, but they had their time to shine on the last tour.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 5th April 2019, 11:30 PM

He's going to perform on SNL on May 4. I assume this means that new music from him will be released sometime soon (probably a re-release of his self-titled album?), unless an album track from the album is going to be pushed as a single.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 6th April 2019, 09:10 AM

I've been seriously loving 'Nervous' over the past few weeks, I can't believe what happened (or rather didn't end up happening) with the release of that. Killer song!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 6th April 2019, 10:43 AM

I feel a bit at the handling of this album era too. I think it's his best album, and there was great potential for a successful run of singles. Instead way too much time was spent on pushing In My Blood, then it took 6 months to finally move on to Lost in Japan and by then the era had lost steam. Nervous & Youth could easily have been big hits but the label wasted them during the lengthy unclear period of "what is the second single?".

I hope the May 4th slot on SNL is an indication of a new single for a repackaged album! Hopefully it'll be as strong as There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back and revitalise the era.

Posted by: Bjork 6th April 2019, 12:57 PM

they are still pushing the album in Europe, Lost in Japan was now added to Hot Hits Denmark and there are album ads popping up

Posted by: Calum 8th April 2019, 05:16 AM

This would be great, although with Illuminate, There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back was already out there and being performed on tour, giving the album that extra push. Part of me feels like this album's dead in the water now unfortunately, although I'd love if they did re-release. Even for cash-in purposes, there's so much they can do with it. Tack on the remixes, put the studio version of Use Somebody, his Under Pressure cover, a couple of new songs?, and in a perfect world a full studio version of Fix You.

On another note, I was at the Glasgow date of the tour on Saturday night and it was undeniably the best night. The whole show was incredible from start to finish. There was such an incredible atmosphere from the crowd, and he opened up explaining that it was his first show without medication to slow his heart rate / calm himself while on stage. The setlist was perfect. There were a couple of songs from the album I was sad to see snubbed initially, but when you see the show everything comes together and I can understand why some weren't included.

My camera roll now basically consists of close-ups of his biceps, crotch and body though.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 11th April 2019, 07:51 PM

Saw Shawn on Tuesday (with Jahq!) and he was fantastic, he completely had the audience in the palm of his hands throughout the entire show. Great set list too, I think the only song I was a bit disappointed with being excluded was Queen.

I was curious about how many other male fans would be in the audience and there were actually quite a number of them, so I didn't feel out of place

Posted by: sajjadali 12th April 2019, 06:41 AM

I am still annoyed he self titled album 3 so annoying.

Posted by: JosephAvery 18th April 2019, 11:07 PM

Posting a full recount of my gig date, I've not spoiler tagged anything so BEWARE OF SETLIST SPOILERS!

I saw Shawn live on Tuesday night, and it was a night I had been looking forward to so badly. I bought gold meet and greet tickets for me and my friend for her 21st birthday last August, as she adores Shawn too. It feels strange to think it's in the past tense now but it really was amazing. However, it didn't all go quite to plan, though none of it was Shawn's own fault.

When we arrived at the check-in point for M&G at about 3:25 (we were told we had to check in between 3 and 3:30), I was told I was not allowed to bring my rucksack in - an average sized rucksack, not full up, easy to search through and see there's nothing untoward inside. I was told I had to rush halfway round the O2 back to the front entrance and outside to the "bag drop", and leave my bag there for a ridiculous fee of £10. I did so, knowing I was against the clock, and found out the bag drop was shut. Furious, I headed back, and was told I could leave my bag outside (supervised for safety). I was distressed by this point, particularly as it only seemed to be one member of staff (possibly Shawn's tour manager? or someone on his team at least) that had an issue, other O2 staff were a little baffled by it.

Weirdly, despite the check-in window, it didn't begin til after 4:30, but that was okay, I had calmed down by then :') We went inside through the "ShawnAccess Experience" first, where there were Shawn's outfits from his music videos this era, the awards he's won recently, etc. Pretty cool to look at! At the end of that was the photo op. Shawn was super lovely even though it was so quick and I barely had the chance to say anything (not that I was disappointed by this - it was expected, I've done enough M&Gs to know that by now...!), before following through to the Q&A room. It was pretty tight to fit everyone in, but we were all sat on cushions on the floor which was cute. Shawn answered my friend's question in the Q&A which was really amazing! Such a great experience.

I picked my bag up on the way out and we went to eat dinner (the M&G wasn't past the ticket barriers so we didn't have to go straight to the arena). Afterwards, we went to the queues, where I was once again told that I was not allowed to bring my rucksack in. A rucksack that has been allowed into the O2 Arena without question every single time in the past. I politely questioned one of the ladies managing the queues, because my bag fits the ADVERTISED restrictions (advertised on the website AND literally next to the quee we were in....) and she shouted at me in response - atrocious service which only made me more anxious. We tried speaking to some members of staff, one of whom gave us a contact card for customer support, but I called the number and lines were closed :') So ultimately I had to go and put my bag in the bag drop, spending £10 for my bag to sit in a room. I wasn't expecting this at all and I was totally thrown off track, and by this point, I had missed Alessia's set entirely. Not happy.

Finally, we got inside. I bought a brilliant t-shirt and a wristband, and we headed inside. Our tickets said Row B, so naturally I expected 2nd row - the best seats I've ever had at the O2 by MILES! - only to find we were the first row of seats and were actually allowed to stand up at the barrier!!!! We were floored and instantly we were both in a better mood after the kerfuffle before. Shawn himself was sensational. It's my fourth time seeing Shawn and his best show yet. The setlist felt varied in tempo and mood, and he never once lost the crowd. Songs like Mutual and Particular Taste really hit me live too though Perfectly Wrong remains the most underrated song on the album.

To sum up, it was a mix of some really high highs and some really low lows. However, there was nothing I could have done to avoid to lows, so I'm focusing on the positives. That said, I've sent an email of complaint to the O2 for the awful organisation and horrific customer service from some staff members. All they needed to do was send an email to ticketholders to notify them of the new restrictions, and the problem is solved entirely as I'd have brought a smaller bag! Point taken for future gigs anyway lol, better to be safe than sorry.

It was all worth it in the end when I see this:

Brilliant read! Shawn seems like a great guy in real life, and the clips I've seen look fantastic - shame about the problems from the staff though.

Posted by: JosephAvery 18th April 2019, 11:23 PM

He really seems to love what he does, from the M&Gs to the actual performances, he's totally in his element

Seems the tour's not going to be stretching beyond the end of 2019 then (unless of course he does more festival dates, etc like last time). Hopefully that paves the way for some new music in 2020 following a break of some sort *.*

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 23rd April 2019, 06:04 PM

He's gonna be knackered poor lamb!

I'm guessing there's *something* new must be on it's way what with him going on SNL a week on Saturday.

So the 2 new singles aren’t even for a new album what a disappointment

Posted by: JosephAvery 26th July 2019, 01:27 PM

Judging by the answers he's given at his tour Q&As, it didn't seem like a new album was on the cards just yet so I was kinda surprised when we got not just one but two new singles! Surprised they didn't actually tack these onto the album earlier.

Posted by: Calum 26th July 2019, 02:03 PM

Yeah I wasn’t expecting either of the singles to be from a new album tbh. At least this’ll hopefully give the album a small boost while he’s still out on tour!

Posted by: Medellíam 27th July 2019, 02:31 PM

There's Nothing Holding Me Back helped his last album return Top 40 and stay really consistent so hopefully two songs can help this one out a lot. Perhaps it could pass 200k in the end which would make it his third album to do so.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 27th July 2019, 10:52 PM

I wonder if they'll bother with a physical re-issue too?

Will be interesting to see how the inclusion of the two latest singles on streaming benefits the album in the UK, when you consider this rule: "The 2 album tracks attracting most streams are neutralised to the level of the average of the next 10 highest streamed tracks associated with the album (or all tracks where album has < 12 tracks).". I assume In My Blood and Lost in Japan were originally the Top 2, but now they'll be amongst "the next 10" which should improve the average nicely.

Posted by: Calum 27th July 2019, 11:24 PM

Would be good considering the mountains of releases we've had for If I Can't Have You and Señorita (when are those getting shipped? )

Posted by: ITz Cody 28th July 2019, 02:55 AM

welp there goes Trench being my most played album on last.fm :’)

Posted by: Bjork 28th July 2019, 07:55 AM

it's a smart strategy to add those 2 songs, thats very pragmatic cos thats the easiest way to accumulate streams, having 5/6 singles off an album...

Posted by: Jonjo 5th August 2019, 11:05 AM

Just noticed this. I quite like this running order! Hopefully he'll re-issue it physically!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 25th October 2019, 01:25 AM

Only just found out that the Deluxe version has been released physically, but it's seemingly a Japan exclusive It came out two weeks ago!

https://www.discogs.com/Shawn-Mendes-Shawn-Mendes/release/14289902
https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Shawn-Mendes_000000000578477/item_Shawn-Mendes-Deluxe-Edition_10228045

Interestingly it includes a few bonus tracks:

17 Lost In Japan (Remix)
18 If I Can't Have You (Gryffin Remix)
19 There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back
20 Treat You Better
21 Stitches
22 In My Blood (Acoustic)

(Argh @ tracks 19/20/21!)

It's a pity it's not been given a general worldwide release tbh. I feel like it could have done pretty well in Q4!

Posted by: Calum 25th October 2019, 02:21 AM

Stitches, TNHMB and Treat You Better LMAO WHAT?!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 29th January 2020, 06:08 AM

This completely passed me by, but there is actually a reissued CD version of this album in the UK... it was released on 22nd November

https://amazon.co.uk/Shawn-Mendes/dp/B07Z74DJXC/ | https://www.discogs.com/Shawn-Mendes-Shawn-Mendes/release/14538800

It now includes Señorita, If I Can't Have You & the Zedd Remix of Lost in Japan, as well as the original 14 tracks (it's in a rejigged order in comparison to the original release). The main drawback is that it's currently £12.75!

I wonder why it was reissued so quietly? I checked the 29th November chart and the album actually fell from #132 to #149 in that week lol~



There's also a new version released in France which has the same slipcase cover as the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=209785&pid=6362230&st=180&#, but it has a different track list. It was released on 6th December!

https://www.amazon.fr/Shawn-Mendes/dp/B07Z76LPHT/ | https://www.discogs.com/Shawn-Mendes-Shawn-Mendes/release/14689809

This version includes Señorita and If I Can't Have You, but interestingly has removed the original Lost in Japan and replaced it with the Zedd Remix. At the end of the album it also includes almost every single release from prior to the 'Shawn Mendes' era: Mercy, Life of the Party, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Stitches, There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back and Treat You Better.

Posted by: Calum 29th January 2020, 09:49 AM

Ooooh interesting didn’t know it existed at all, so might have to make an investment

So strange that Twitter stans didn’t cotton onto it either, they’re usually all over things like this - and disappointing that it fell so many places in the album chart lmao!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 31st January 2020, 12:47 AM

I bought the French version lmao :') Money that I really didn't need to spend, but oh well x

Posted by: JosephInSpace 13th February 2020, 10:58 PM

I just bought the re-issue :')!!

Posted by: Calum 25th May 2020, 12:22 PM

Today marks TWO YEARS of Shawn Mendes: The Album!! Time has flown by so quickly omg.

Celebrate the anniversary by voting in the album Survivor currently taking place!

Posted by: Calum 28th June 2020, 09:25 PM

Incredible achievement!

Posted by: JosephStyles 28th June 2020, 09:48 PM

Huge *.*

Posted by: Jay* 29th June 2020, 07:09 AM

Get those streams, Shawn *.*


If anyone is interested in owning this album on vinyl, it's currently a very reasonable £11.50 on Amazon UK! The cheapest it's ever been. https://amazon.co.uk/Shawn-Mendes-VINYL/dp/B07CPMYRKF

Posted by: Spiceboy 29th June 2020, 09:35 AM

Is he naked on it???

Posted by: Jay* 29th June 2020, 11:24 AM

Unfortunately not, fingers crossed for album 4 though

Posted by: Calum 30th July 2020, 01:21 AM

The album has now reached 4.5 billion streams on Spotify - his only album to reach this milestone!! *.*

Posted by: Calum 17th September 2020, 10:27 PM

The album has now reached 4.6 billion streams on Spotify - his first album to achieve this.

Posted by: Calum 21st October 2020, 04:56 PM

Amazing

Posted by: Calum 29th October 2020, 08:41 PM

Fallin' All in You has now reached 200 million streams on Spotify, becoming his 13th song to achieve this! *.*

Great that an album track (and one of his best at that!) continues to do so well
