    (THIS IS NOT A BAD REVIEW BUT IS MARKED AS ONE) After a year and a half, Shawn Mendes (Album) has not been forgotten and is still listened by many. As a young artist, Shawn -and his team of writers, including the talented Teddy Geiger and Goeff Warburton- succeeded at gathering people from different generations with his music.

As a young artist, Shawn -and his team of writers, including the talented Teddy Geiger and Goeff Warburton- succeeded at gathering people from different generations with his music. One of Mendes' wise and much appreciated choice is that he tries not to specify the genre of the person he sings about so everyone can relate to his songs in a way. In My Blood, remains one of Shawn Mendes' most powerful song of the Album. It is raw, real, personal, and incredibly well described as an emotion, feeling and disorder (anxiety) that lots of people have to deal with on a daily basis. Through this album, Mendes revealed himself to his public more than in his previous ones. He's growing up and so is his music. If you have the chance to attend one his concerts, go for it. Mendes is lucky to have a very devoted fandom that he grew up with and got to know well. He likes to consider the fact that he has person to person relationship with them and not a celebrity to person one. As he is close to his fans, the show resembles some kind of family reunion, where all the family members love to see each other again, even for two hours. To sum up, this album is simply so beautiful, you can feel a strong passion in every songs that's been written. It's a must!!! Bravo, Shawn.… Expand

    His career needs to stop making new albums and songs. This is even worse than Handwritten. All tracks are a lot worse than the last albums. The worst of the year.

    There's a palpable sweetness to music that endures, even when a production is as bright and glistening as it is on Shawn Mendes. That bodes well for the future that Shawn Mendes is so evidently planning for.

    This looming sense of familiarity extends past the album’s musical elements and into its writing. Shawn Mendes is populated with stock characters: the girl who’s a little too high on her own supply, the girl worth waiting forever for, the girl who got away.

    Shawn Mendes is a remarkably well-crafted pop album that finds the singer trying on different styles, prominently showcasing his collaborators and making some flagrant references--yet his persona has become strong enough that he’s never overpowered by any of it.
