Shawn Mendes (alternatively Shawn Mendes: The Album)[3][4][5] is a self-titled third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes. It was released through Island Records on May 25, 2018. It is primarily a pop album, with ingrained influences of pop rock, blues, and R&B.

For the album, Mendes worked with Ryan Tedder, Julia Michaels, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, and Khalid. Mendes was the executive producer of the album, also in the producing credits were Tedder, Louis Bell, Ian Kirkpatrick, among others. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many of them praising its maturity and new musical direction.

The album debuted at number one in Canada, making it Mendes’ third number one album in his home country. It also debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200. It marked Mendes' third number one album in the United States, as well as making him the third youngest artist to top the chart at least 3 times. The album also topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. It became his second album to debut in the top 3 in the UK.

The lead single, "In My Blood" was released on March 22, 2018, it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as reaching a top ten position in several other countries. The second single "Lost in Japan" was released the next day. In May, "Youth", "Where Were You in the Morning?", and "Nervous" were released as singles. All five singles charted in several countries. "In My Blood", "Lost in Japan", and "Youth" were certified gold or higher in his home country.

Background

The album was recorded over three to four months, primarily in Malibu, California.[6][7] Recording sessions also took place in Port Antonio, Jamaica.[7] Mendes drew inspiration from music artists Justin Timberlake, Kings of Leon, Kanye West and Daniel Caesar while making the record.[8] In an interview with The Recording Academy, he declared:

For me, it was just about exploring myself musically and not just sticking to one genre, and allowing myself to create the music that my heart really wanted to make and understanding that it's not about the genre but it's about the person and the cohesiveness within the stories I was telling and with my voice. That I'm really proud of. I'm proud of the fact that you can listen to the top of this album and hear a big rock anthem, and then halfway through you're in some kind of crazy slow R&B jam and then, at the very end, you're in the singer/songwriter world [...][9]

Promotion

To announce the release date, album artwork, and title, Mendes hosted a 9-hour live video stream on YouTube, culminating on April 26, 2018, at midnight.[10] The livestream featured a crew setting up a floral arrangement to recreate the album’s cover.

In promotion of the album, Mendes played a concert at the Ford Theatres in Hollywood on May 17, which was live-streamed by Apple Music and followed by a Q&A with radio presenter Zane Lowe.[11] The recording of the performance, titled Shawn Mendes: Live In Los Angeles, was released by Apple Music.

Mendes also spent the week of June 4, 2018, on The Late Late Show with James Corden where he performed one of his new songs each night.[12] The full week event was hashtagged as LateLateShawn on social media. He also did a Carpool Karaoke episode where he sang some of his new songs alongside his old ones.[13]

Spotify invited Mendes’ fans for an intimate Spotify Fans First event held on July 19 at Beverly Hills, California.[14]

Tour

To support the album, Mendes will embark on Shawn Mendes: The Tour which will be held at arena venues across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand and will kick off on March 7, 2019. [15] Besides the 2019 tour, Mendes has already performed songs from his new album on music festivals across Europe, North America, and South America. He will continue performing on several music festivals until October 14, 2018. [16]

Singles

"In My Blood" was released on March 22, 2018, as the album's lead single,[17] and sent to contemporary hit radio on March 27.[18] "Lost in Japan" was released the next day.[19] A remix of "Lost in Japan" by German producer Zedd was released on September 27, 2018,[20] and was sent to the contemporary hit radio on October 2, 2018.[21] "Youth", which features American singer Khalid, was released as the third single on May 3.[22] "Where Were You in the Morning?" was released as the fourth single on May 18.[23] "Nervous" was released as the fifth single on May 23.[24]

Shawn Mendes received generally positive reviews from music critics, with particular praise towards Mendes' songwriting and artistic maturity compared to his previous work. Ilana Kaplan from The Independent gave the album 4 of 5 stars, praising Mendes's maturity compared to his previous album: "With his latest effort, the 19-year-old singer moves beyond stereotypical relationship woes and goes for something more personal."[29] In another positive review, Jem Aswad from Variety opined the album as 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."[2] Hannah Mylrea of NME complimented Mendes's growth, calling his rock- and funk-inspired sound "a bright and bold new direction."[31] Mike Nied of Idolator called it his best album to date, in addition to one of the best of the year so far.[36]

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times gave a mixed review, calling the album "appealing if not wholly engaging, full of pleasantly anonymous songs that systematically obscure Mr. Mendes's talents."[37] Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork gave a rating of 5.1 out of 10, noting that Mendes's songs lack a unique sound, "and you can imagine them being recorded by anyone: Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, a random choice from the One Direction diaspora."[32] In a three-star review, The Guardian's Laura Snapes opined that Mendes's "attempt to detoxify pop masculinity is admirable, but you’re left yearning for a bit of rough and tumble."[28]

Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press gave the album a positive review, praising the songwriting, hooks, as well as the duet with Khalid, but was unimpressed by "Like to Be You", the duet with singer Julia Michaels and "Fallin' All in You", co-written with Ed Sheeran and Johnny McDaid.[1] Maeve McDermott of USA Today highlighted "In My Blood" as one of the best songs, saying the album "nails the innocence, thrills and pain that’s unique to being 19, alone and hopeful."[35] In contrast, Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone called "In My Blood" one of the album's weakest songs, favouring instead the collaborations with Michaels.[33] Chris Gillet from South China Morning Post complimented Mendes' songwriting abilities as well, citing "Because I Had You", "Perfectly Wrong", and "When You're Ready" as some of the best songs, as well as acclaiming his vocal performance in "Perfectly Wrong," but was critical with "Queen" and "Fallin' All in You" labelling them "generic," he ended the review with awarding the album 4 out of 5 stars.[34]

Shawn Mendes has been listed by several publications as one of the best albums of the first half of 2018, such as Time, Billboard, and Rolling Stone.[38][39][40][41]

Commercial performance

Shawn Mendes debuted at number one on the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart with 32,000 album-equivalent units, becoming Mendes' third Canadian number-one album.[42] On October 3, 2018, Shawn Mendes was certified Platinum by Music Canada for shipments of 80,000 copies in the country.

Shawn Mendes debuted atop the ARIA Albums Chart, giving Mendes his first number-one album in Australia.[43] On the UK Albums Chart, the album opened at number three, with first-week sales of 23,419.[44]

Shawn Mendes debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 182,000 album-equivalent units (including 142,000 pure album sales), becoming Mendes' third consecutive US number-one album. This feat made Mendes the third youngest artist to top the chart with at least 3 albums, along with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. At the time, it became Mendes' best performing week ever, the fifth-best week of the year, and the second-biggest week for a pop album of the year, behind only Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods.[45] Additionally, it became the second most streamed pop album in 2018 for the first week, behind Timberlake, and the most streamed on the first week on Apple Music, surpassing Timberlake's record.[45][46]
