    Muito bom , acho que este é o melhor álbum dele deste então.
    Eu não sei o porquê a nota é apenas um "6", as músicas contidas são bem escritas e todas as músicas são muito boas.

    Shawn Mendes has potential. I believe he will achieve greater creativity and sound quality over the years.

    A boring album. Oh, btw he never innovates in nothing (as always), so it’s always the same similar and annoying songs during the whole album….

    Shawn Mendes traz um álbum pop, porém sem grande novidades, se pautando ao todo num estilo mais alternativo e acústico, algo que estamos acostumados em sua sonoridade, traz também um feat com o Justin Bieber que caminha em um pop mais denso.

    The only good thing about this album is production, we can thank Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles' long time collaborator) I guess. Shawn needs to read some books to improve his vocabulary. Even 10 year old boys can come up with better lyrics.

    A "intro" e "Wonder" abrem o álbum justamente com essa característica, são duas faixas que trabalham como uma só, complementando uma a outra, os versos calmos nos começos das musicas são engradecidas ao decorrer destas, até uma explosão de instrumentos intensificarem o som, seguidos pela voz extraordinária de Shawn, o tema desse hino é a falta de tempo que o canadense passou a ter por serA "intro" e "Wonder" abrem o álbum justamente com essa característica, são duas faixas que trabalham como uma só, complementando uma a outra, os versos calmos nos começos das musicas são engradecidas ao decorrer destas, até uma explosão de instrumentos intensificarem o som, seguidos pela voz extraordinária de Shawn, o tema desse hino é a falta de tempo que o canadense passou a ter por ser uma estrela da música e sentir falta de ser uma pessoa qualquer na sociedade para fazer o que quer. "Higher" é a terceira faixa do álbum, talvez a musica mais Pop da carreira do canadense, que não tem medo de se inspirar nos anos 60 e traz o baixo como elemento principal da faixa, mas ao mesmo tempo dando modernidade com os falsetes únicos, primeira temática romântica, balada que aborda que não consegue ficar mais tão elevado pelo amor de sua namorada Camila Cabello. "24 Hours" é apenas piano e Shawn com sua calma voz, contemplada com transições lindas de divergentes graves para uma voz mais fina bem impressionante, outra faixa influenciada pelos anos 60, temática focada que o cantor não quer perder tempo, quer viver tudo com sua amada, basta 24 horas para eles se mudarem e viverem juntos. "Teach me How to Love" é a grande faixa Pop do álbum e talvez a melhor faixa, Shawn não tem medo de arriscar e abusa dos instrumentos clássicos semelhantes a década de 70, onde saxofones e contrabaixo são fortes segmentos da trilha, seguidos de uma guitarra elétrica e vocais femininos para a elevação da musica, impossível ficar parado escutando tal musica, um dos grandes trabalhos de carreira do canadense, que novamente faz uma transição perfeita entre o seu falsete e um tom mais característico da sua voz, além da letra ser sexy/romântica que este está disposto a fazer os desejos de sua parceira, basta dize-lo. "Call My Friends" se assemelha estruturalmente a "Wonder", desde o engrandecimento dos instrumentos até o tema da musica ser o mesmo, porém é bastante repetitiva e rapidamente enjoativa, parece ter faltado um melhor desenvolvimento lírico nessa faixa, primeira baixa do álbum que vinha impecável. "Dream" é uma grande faixa, onde é possível ver Shawn no ápice vocal, seus falsetes arrepiam o ouvinte e a melodia com o refrão simples, mas ao mesmo tempo suave de ouvir, faz você entrar em outro mundo, é liricamente pobre novamente, abordando que basta o cantor adormecer que sua namorada está em seus sonhos, mas é uma ótima musica, com um ótimo tom que o álbum precisava. "Song For No One" é claramente a música que foi utilizada como experimento e referencia para o resto do desenvolvimento do álbum, pois sua estrutura é a mesma que é repetida nas demais faixas, com um clima mais calmo e tranquilo em sua primeira parte, mas uma explosão de instrumentos combinada com os vocais poderosos, porém peca como assim em outras faixas na letra e carência de um melhor desenvolvimento. "Monster" é a única parceria do álbum, com o também canadense Justin Bieber, única faixa que se assemelha ao trabalho anterior de Shawn, pois o R&B toma conta, dessa vez com um clima soturno e auto reflexivo pelo número de julgamentos que acontecem por erros como quaisquer outros humanos, a faixa possivelmente engloba a melhor parceria do ano, pois os dois encaixam perfeitamente, a transição da ponte é muito bem construída e Justin toma conta do segundo verso da música, trazendo inicialmente um trap com rimas dinâmicas e finalizando a estrofe com forte influencia Pop, com grandes vocais e falsetes perfeitamente encaixados, Shawn retorna a faixa com a mesma entonação e eles fazem uma dupla magistral na parte final de uma trilha divergente do mercado, mas excelente como o tamanho desses dois artistas. "305" é uma balada diferente e parece ser experimental também, mas cai no mesmo problema lírico, refrão não é dos melhores, mas novamente a grandiosidade de transição instrumental com os ótimos vocais. "Always Been You" é a faixa que demonstra a perda de qualidade o álbum, pois é a faixa idêntica na estrutura de "Call My Friends", mas os sons chegam a ser irritantes e parece ser totalmente descartada, porém foi mantida. "Piece Of You" é a faixa salvadora do final do álbum, voltando ao Pop anos 70, entrega uma grande música, mas que deveria ter sido melhor posicionada, entre a faixa 4 e 6 do álbum, ela fica esquecida pelo local encaixada, porém é uma das melhores, onde Shawn canta a respeito do ciúmes compreensível da namorada, tendo em vista seus assédios da sociedade. "Look Up At The Stars" segue o mesmo problema, boa faixa e mal posicionada, talvez se o álbum tivesse apenas 11 faixas seria o final perfeito, pois é a faixa que define o álbum liricamente e musicalmente, se encerra com "Can't Imagine" uma canção que parece ter sido feita em instantes finais e não engloba a proposta da obra. Ótimo álbum, porem com potencial maior do que o entregue.

    Worst. Album. Ever. Even worse than the previous two albums. Monster is the worst of both worlds song because the two artists that I really hate and they all suck and this is the worst song of 2020. Overall, all the tracks are the worst because I hate Shawn Mendes.

    the first listen threw me off a litte because of the complete 180 some songs did midsong, sometimes that was a great choice but sometimes it was just...too much. Mendes has grown so much as a songwriter and the melodies are so much complex than in previous albums so im glad he's exploring. My favorite songs were teach me how to love, wonder and dream.

    The album is an OK album. It was lacking of energetic and groovy songs and was a very slow listen. I think there weren't many interesting elements to it. Most songs weren't too strong production wise, just a simple piano with very few other elements. I think the best tracks are Wonder, Higher, Teach Me How To Love and Piece Of You.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. İ really enjoyed this album from Shawn more than i thought i would because the lead single did not impress me so much. His vocal performance and Melodies are memorable and the album is very cohesive. The vocals in the intro are so smooth and breathtaking but it ends abruptly. Wonder is a nice track as well where he details some things he wonder about. The chorus soars and its Just so satisfying. İ love the groovy Higher, its a very different change of pace for Mendes.24 hours is a sweet piano tune about falling in love and trying not to over think it. Teach me how to love is another sleek and groovy tune with a nice chorus and a nice bridge and some bangings guitars. Call My Friends is a nice Offering as well about getting High with your friends. İ really love the lyrics, the guitars and backing vocals in the chorus. Dream also has a nice melody and some nice acapella like vocals. The collaboration with Justin Bieber is a solid RnB tune with great lyrics and some nice vocals and its generally well written. 305 is another song with some nice instrumentation but i feel like its more under written. Always Been you, on the other hand has really beautiful lyrics and a killer chorus, one of the most unforgetable tunes on the album. Piece of You is another retro song with some nice 80's production. All in all i enjoyed the more groovy and retro tunes than the minimal songs or ballads. But it is a solid Offering from Mendes, its cohesive, cliche at times but heartwarming

    Dentro de la escena complaciente de la música, este intimo álbum se arriesga, acorde a la exploración que el artista hace en su interior.
    Es difícil encontrar cosas que sorprendan, pero "Wonder" te da un aire de vitalidad al paso de las canciones.
    Recomendado.

    Wonder, Shawn Mendes’s fourth studio album, is on par with the rest of his more recent ones. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Handwritten, I did enjoy Wonder about as much as I enjoyed Illuminate and his namesake work. What I appreciated about Wonder is that it is more upbeat than some of his other work. The album feels more experimental, and I thought it was great of Mendes to start taking more risks. The album as a whole sounded like Lost in Japan (Shawn Mendes) but with more synthesizers. Though some tracks were a little techno for my liking, the album as a whole certainly wasn’t bad, since this album’s score has a safe distance from the “yellow” mark. I wish that I could supply all of my song-to-song commentary, but that would go beyond the character limit. Overall, I really enjoyed Shawn Mendes’s fourth outing. The fun factor of it was increased due to its originality and how it is evident that this was an experimental album. Mendes gets more into funk with the loud bass and the wah guitars, and this ends up working really well. I did think that this album was a bit bipolar, as in it goes from really quiet and barebones to extremely loud and full in a very short amount of time, which could get hard to listen to (and perhaps a bit predictable). Vocally, Wonder sounded fantastic (Mendes’s voice just keeps improving) and I really enjoyed the subject matter of nearly every song. As I listen to Shawn more and more, I realize that he is also pretty decent at painting a picture using powerful lyrics. While I have nothing against chiller, acoustic albums like Mendes had made in the past, it is pretty nice to have something that stands out a bit from the rest of the pack (his stuff and pop in general). I definitely recommend Mendes’s latest outing to his fans and even people who might want a taste of a different side of pop than what might be found on the radio nowadays. Highlights: Wonder, Higher, 24 Hours, Teach Me How To Love, Monster, 305, Piece Of You, and Look Up At The Stars.    … Expand

    Wonder apresenta uma experiência cinematográfica, ao invés de mais um álbum convencional numa prateleira. É evidente que Mendes nasceu para criar música. Ao longo das 16 faixas da versão (Holiday Deluxe), os vocais suaves se unem com piano e guitarra, com o intuito de expressar suas angústias e seus intensos desejos.

    Shawn vocal and musical evolution is remarkable. Wonder is an album about love, about being vulnerable at times about that love and also about being thankful to the fans. It is worth taking the time to appreciate this wonder!

    This is Shawn's best album, as he said it is like a part of it. This is different from the first three, it is more mature, it is about freedom, about not being attached to what the media wants to hear or what people they’re used to it, it was what he wanted to do and I’m very proud of how it turned out.

    Wonder is a presentation about the wonderful perception of shawn about his life, about his plans, fears and insecurities, we see the evolution of new instruments and lyrics. a love letter to Camila, a sentiment to friends, love about the fans and a demonstration of how these last years have been for Mendes

    This is his best album to date, the sound is big, emotional, experimental and shows his growth and new influences with surprising bursts of almost psychedelic drums and synths that shock the first time and never lose their appeal on subsequent listens.

This album is soaked in love and the lyrics hit you straight in the heart. His vocals are transcendent and show how he has matured and worked hard on his voice. This is on constant rotation for me and I can't see that changing soon. The deluxe version gives a heap of live versions as well as the gorgeous "Christmas Song" with duet partner and real life love Camila Cabello as well as "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" from the BBC Live Lounge, one of the major inspirations for his new sound, that is just sublime. Quarantine did this boy a favour, and I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve next.… Expand

    It's such an amazing album! Shawn is really so talented and hard working , and it's clearly reflected in Wonder. It's both sonically and lyrically a masterpiece and to be honest, deserves a lot LOT more appreciation than it's getting. Just give it a listen and you'll agree with me, all the songs are bops.

    I love the production. His music is way mature from his previous album, his lyrisc is heavenly meaningful. And i think he is in his healtier voice this era; so much improve in falsetto and high note. I really can't wait he and his band bring all these masterpiece to the concert or Tour. Really can't wait. Congrats, to Shawn Mendes for his 4th studio album.

    This album is incredible. From the first time I heard it, I fell in love with the instrumentals and the beautiful lyrics of the songs. Shawn was extremely vulnerable and honest on that album. It's amazing to see how he matured so much over the years, even though he was so young. He's a very talented young man and Teach Me How To Love deserves to be the next single!

    While the slower songs are fine, sometimes sincere, the growth on Wonder is all evident on the livelier tunes, all of which point toward a more adventurous twenties for Shawn Mendes.

    While “Wonder” is at times overambitious and overwrought, it does feel like the last stop on a particular journey. Mendes can’t sound much bigger than this without going full Adele, so what might come next is wide open.

    Mendes spends nearly every minute bowled over by the power of love. It’s nice to see his cup overflow so bountifully, but the near-constant awe quickly grows tiresome, especially when conveyed through clichés like, “Your body’s like an ocean, I’m devoted to explore you” and, “You’re my sunlight on a rainy day.”
