Shawn Mendes to Release New Self-Titled Album in October with Two New Singles Premiering in August
Shawn Mendes has announced his new album titled Shawn, set to drop on October 18 after a long break. The Canadian singer-songwriter shared a music video trailer of one of his latest singles, Isn’t That Enough, along with Why Why Why on his Instagram. These singles will be released on his birthday, August 8.
In his first Instagram post, Shawn Mendes shared a trailer of his single Isn’t That Enough and mentioned how music can be healing. He talked about the journey behind creating the finished songs for his upcoming album.
He expressed how for two years, he felt lost and unsure of himself every time he entered the studio to work on new music. Through the support of his loved ones and his passion for music, he was able to rediscover his creative spark.
Shawn Mendes expressed gratitude towards those who supported him and helped him through this process. He hopes that his new album will resonate with listeners and make them feel connected.
His last studio album Wonder was released four years ago in December 2020, followed by the Wonder world tour. Unfortunately, the tour was cut short due to Shawn Mendes’ mental health struggles.
Since then, he has kept a low profile, making only occasional public appearances and releasing singles like When You’re Gone and What the Hell Are We Dying For?. Recently, he surprised fans by performing at concerts with Ed Sheeran, Noah Kahan, and Niall Horan.
Shawn Mendes will be headlining two new stages at Rock in Rio on September 22 and Corona Capital in Mexico City on November 16. Before the album announcement, he teased a new project on social media, sharing a video of himself in the studio working on new music.
