Shawn Mendes Announces New Self-Titled Album Set To Release In October; Two New Singles To Be Out In August

As a devoted admirer, in my initial Instagram share, I unveiled a teaser for my single “Isn’t That Enough.” Accompanying the video, I penned, “Indeed, music serves as a potent remedy.” I delved into the storyline behind the crafting of these “wondrously completed songs” destined for my forthcoming album.

Over the course of two years, this artist asserted that he was unaware of his own identity, feeling overwhelmed whenever he entered a recording studio to create fresh tunes. However, through the power of music, encouragement from loved ones, and friends, he managed to recover emotionally and reignite his creative flair once more.

“Life can be tough, but having a handful of reliable friends by your side to guide you makes all the difference,” he pointed out. He acknowledged those who supported him during the journey, expressing his gratitude by saying, “I appreciate you showing such deep affection toward me.” The singer behind Stitches wishes that his upcoming album will evoke feelings of comfort and closeness to nature in its listeners, just as it does for him.

Four years back, in December 2020, Mendes put out his latest studio album titled “Wonder.” The album’s launch and triumph were preceded by the “Wonder” world tour, but it had to be abruptly halted due to his struggles with mental stability.

Ever since then, he’s primarily stayed away from the spotlight, with only occasional public appearances and the occasional release of new singles. Notable examples include “When You’re Gone” from 2022 and “What the Hell Are We Dying For?” from the previous year.

Most recently he performed as a surprise guest at Ed Sheeran, Noah Kahan and Niall Horan’s concerts. He’ll be headlining two new stages including Rock in Rio on September 22 and Corona Capital in Mexico City on November 16. 

Prior to officially revealing his new album, he subtly hinted at it on social media. Recently, he posted a video where he’s seen in a studio with a guitar and headphones. The caption for this post read, “Day 1 at the clubhouse. This was my first time back in the studio making an album in four years.” – Shawn Mendes.
