Shawn Mendes recently gave his fans details on his upcoming album, including art and a list of songs. The album is set to release on May 25.
The album is titled “Shawn Mendes: The Album.” Mendes released, in a series of messages, the artwork for the album, the tracklist, and the date previously mentioned.
The album has 14 songs, some featuring big name artists like Julia Michaels and Khalid. Michaels is performing on the track titled “Like to Be You” and Khalid is performing on the track “Youth.”
Mendes finished his tour for his second album, “Illuminate,” back in December last year. “Illuminate” had 15 songs, the most popular being “Mercy” and “Treat You Better.” “Illuminate” also peaked at No. 1 on Billboard 100.
Just a few weeks before the news of the album dropped, Mendes posted hints about new music, with no details to help fans understand what was coming.
Mendes just a day or two later, on March 20 released titles to his most recent songs and their drop dates. “In My Blood” released on March 22 and “Lost In Japan” released on March 23.
Since the release of both songs Mendes has been on several talk shows, including the Late Late Show with James Corden where he will be “taking over” for a week June 4-7.
On May 24, Mendes dropped a music video for his song, “In My Blood” fans commenting on his announcement to Instagram with excitement.
The video stars the singer laying on the ground, while the world around him experiences a series of natural disaster and extreme weather, like thunderstorms and snow. In the end of the video, the sun comes out and flowers grow.
Fans are wondering when or if a music video for “Lost In Japan” will release soon, with the rest of his music.
The album will be available on spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play and Amazon Music.
