On this review I will be reviewing the new Shawn Mendes album which was released on the 25th May 2018. It's the third studio album from 'Shawn Mendes' which is self-titled.
Shawn Mendes is a Canadian singer, songwriter who gained recognition in 2013 by posting covers on YouTube. I am not a fan of Shawn Mendes I think he's overrated. He is just another guy with a guitar from the pop scene. I only like one track from Shawn "There's Nothing Holding Me Back" I liked the guitar riff on that track. I just think he is overrated I do not understand loads of girls screaming for him. But of course they are just fans who love mainstream pop artists like Shawn. Even though I am not big fan of mainstream pop that much. I stopped listening to the radio after mainstream music was being too repetitive. I think Charlie Puth is better than Shawn Mendes. Even though I am also not a big fan of Charlie Puth. Shawn has released three studio albums. "Handwritten" which is his debut album. It's an average album with some average tracks. The track that stands out on this album is "Stitches". "Illuminate" his second studio album which fans would say it's his best album. It's an alright album there were some alright tracks such as "There's Nothing Holding Me Back", "Mercy" and "Don't Be A Fool", "Treat You Better". Which brings us now to his third studio album his self-titled album. After hearing this What did I think of it? It's practically another average album. He also did more of the production on this album. There were some alright collaborations on this album Khalid and Julia Michaels. Even thought the collaboration track featuring Julia Michaels is not my favourite. Only two collaboration artists featured on this album.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "In My Blood" a decent track with decent guitar melody's and lyrics. "Lost In Japan" another decent track with decent lyrics. "Why" probably the strongest track on the album it's a good track that I thought was alright. My least favourite track on the album "Like To Be You" I think the production could have been bit better. Collaboration was not that bad.
Overall I thought this album was average. I would give this album a 5/10.
