The long-awaited self-titled album by Shawn Mendes has finally been released! Fans have waited years for this and it sounds like it was worth the wait. Here are the six best songs you'll want to replay over and over:
1. "In My Blood"
This was the first single to be released prior to the album's debut and it is an amazing one. Shawn talks about an extremely relatable topic and the reality of society. Feeling overwhelmed, dealing with anxiety, wanting to give up but knowing you couldn't really do it, and the pressure society puts on people to deal with their anxiety in an unhealthy way are all topics covered in the deeply personal song.
2. "Where Were You In The Morning?"
This was another single released before the entire album came out and it is another fantastic gem. This song is underrated and very catchy. The vocals are unprecedented and Shawn honestly sounds like an angel. It also deals with the idea of ghosting which is quite relatable for many.
3. "Lost In Japan"
You really have no idea what to expect with this title, but this particular single is perfectly delightful. It is super catchy and is one of those that can easily get stuck in your head. Also, the main topic of not being able to get someone off of your mind is one that just about everyone can relate to.
4. "Fallin' All In You"
This is the sixth song on the album and could easily be overlooked. However, the lyrics are amazing alongside the great beat. This is one of those songs that just has a great, easygoing vibe that you'll totally love.
5. "Youth"
Two of the fourteen songs on this album feature another artist and choosing Khalid for this one was a perfect decision. Khalid is so popular right now and is not afraid to sing about any topic. The two together sound amazing and this incredible song offers a powerful message of hope to young people living in a world where it seems like tragedy often dominates the headlines.
6. "Nervous"
This short-and-sweet song is a totally upbeat rush of nervous feelings that everyone has felt before around a certain person. There clever and catchy lyrics will hook you instantly.
ALL of the songs on this album are truly amazing. Shawn has done some incredible work and now we get to enjoy this music that is a real work of art.
