Singer, guitarist, pianist, and newfound harmonium player Shawn Mendes closed out his intimate For Friends and Family Only Tour on Nov. 25 in his hometown of Toronto, playing the historic Massey Hall, a dream venue for most artists who grew up here. The 130-year-old, three-level theater with its iconic giant red doors and red upholstered seats has hosted shows by Neil Young, Bob Dylan, U2, and Rush, but Mendes, 26 — born just outside Toronto in Pickering and now living in a downtown condo — skipped more than a few stepping stones in his meteoric rise to stadium status,...

Shawn Mendes just released his brand new, self-titled album Shawn!

The 26-year-old musician stripped down the music to share stories of the past few years of his live on his fifth album.

“This album feels like medicine to me,” he shared in a statement. “It helped me reconnect with myself—allowing me to work through emotions, find clarity, and feel stronger. Each song captures a moment from that journey, and I hope it brings a sense of peace and joy to everyone who listens.”

Shawn wrote and co-produced the new LP alongside his collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau and Eddie Benjamin. Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska also contributed writing credits.

Shawn features previously released tracks “Heart of Gold,” “Why Why Why,” “Nobody Knows” and “Isn’t That Enough.”

Included on the album is the song “The Mountain,” where he opens up about his sexuality.

Shawn Mendes has delayed the release of his next album, Shawn, which was originally set to drop on Oct. 18. The LP marks the singer’s highly anticipated fifth album, following 2020’s Wonder.

“Hey guys,” Mendes wrote on X. “My team and i have decided to push the album release date to November 15th. We just need a little bit more time to bring some new inspiration and ideas to life. I love you guys thank you for being so patient, I can’t wait to see you guys at the next few shows.

Shawn Mendes debuted his new single “Nobody Knows” off his upcoming self-titled album, at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

The song appears to comment on his break-up with Camila Cabello, who is also slated to perform tonight, as he questions, “When you’re so in love and souls touch but it’s still not enough where does it go? Nobody knows.” In contrast to the other performances of the night, Mendes’ was more pared down, with the artist playing acoustic guitar, accompanied by drums and electric guitar.

Shawn, the singer’s awaited follow-up to his 2020 LP, Wonder, was written and co-produced by the artist, made with Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau and Eddie Benjamin. Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Allen (who helped write Sabrina Carpenter’s latest slew of hits in addition to being known for her solo work) and Ethan Gruska (who has produced records for indie heavyweights like Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver,...

When touring resumed after lockdowns, Shawn Mendes attempted to dive right back in. He had spent nine months on the road in 2019, then spent the early months of the pandemic creating his fourth studio album Wonder. He tried to take that record on the road, too, but only made it seven shows in before cancelling that tour in its entirety to focus on his mental health. This week, Mendes returned with the announcement of his fifth album, Shawn — and he’s easing back into live performances more cautiously this time around.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes has announced that his new self-titled album, “Shawn,” will be released on October 18th via Island Records. The album, available for pre-order now, is Mendes’ fifth studio release and draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the past few years, particularly following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. Mendes describes it as his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, guiding listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song. The album was written and recorded over two years in various locations including Nosara, Costa Rica; Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, NY; Bear Creek Studio in Washington State; Darkhorse Recordings in Nashville; and Electric Lady in New York City.

Mendes co-wrote and co-produced the album with collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau, and Eddie Benjamin. Additional songs were co-written by Grammy award-winning writer Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska.

Two years after Shawn Mendes paused his career to take a mental health break, the singer will return in October with a new album titled Shawn.

Ahead of the album’s Oct. 18 release, Mendes has shared the Shawn acoustic ballad “Isn’t That Enough.”

“Music really can be medicine. 2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift,...

It’s ironic how Raye’s hardest song to sing is also the one she has to perform the most. “People are like, ‘She sounds so out of breath.’ I’m like shut the fuck up! Where do I breathe?” she tells Rolling Stone with a laugh about her smash hit “Escapism.” “Tell me where to breathe!”

Since the song’s release late last year, the track has garnered 507 million streams and counting on Spotify. With its key changes and rapid raps, it’s one of the most interesting hits...

Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes again sang about climate change in the wake of Canadian wildfires. The singer-songwriter released a new song called ‘What the Hell Are We Dying For?’ and said he wrote the song this week amid the Canadian wildfires that’ve sent a blaze of smoke throughout many areas of the United States, causing air quality issues, reports People magazine.

“Started writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate New York & finished it only a few hours ago…felt important to me to share with you guys in real time,” wrote Mendes, 24, on Instagram, noting that he’s making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross alongside the song’s release.

As per People, the track, produced by Mendes and Mike Sabath and co-written by the pair with Scott Harris and Eddie Benjamin, was released with a cover image taken this week of the New York City...

Raye shared a remix of her standout single “Flip a Switch” featuring rapper Coi Leray on Thursday. The new track features a hard-hitting verse from the Trendsetter artist, complimenting Raye’s stunning vocals from the original, and was co-produced alongside Mike Sabath and Di Genius.

“Flip a Switch” comes off the British Ghanian singer-songwriter’s recent album My 21st Century Blues, which released in February. The LP marked Raye’s long-awaited debut, following her success co-writing songs for the likes of Beyoncé, Little Mix, Madison Beer, and Charli Xcx.

Shawn Mendes is spearheading a new fashion trend for men.

The Canadian superstar has divided opinions with his latest collaboration with the fashion empire Tommy Hilfiger.

While speaking at the Tommy Hilfiger event in London on March 21, Mendes made a statement regarding men in crop tops that has caused a stir in the Twittersphere.

“I think the crop tops, they’re just… they’re super beautiful. They look great on men. They look great on men, so don’t be afraid to pick them up, guys. They look good,” said the “Heartbeat” singer.

For Raye, there are no longer any ifs, ands, and buts to what she can and can’t do with her career. On Friday, the British Ghanian singer-songwriter will release My 21st Century Blues, a long-awaited debut from an artist who has co-written standout singles for the likes of Beyoncé, Little Mix, Madison Beer, and Charli Xcx. It’s also a cathartic starting point for a singer who has long fought for her independence in music.

Her former label pushed her to try every genre under the moon to see what “stuck,...

A motivational anthem, the track features Trainor singing over a dubstep-inspired production about her newfound confidence: “The only one left/They don’t make ’em like this, oh/I’m an innocent bad bitch/So don’t even wink, watch out, watch out for me.”

Hey, "The Voice" fans. Earlier tonight, December 3, 2019, another Live results/elimination show did indeed air. The judges: Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Gwen Stefani were, of course, on hand because that's what they get paid to do. Tonight's episode kicked off with host Carson Daly getting right down to business by revealing that Will Breman from Team Legend and Rose Short from Team Gwen are safe this week and through to the top 8! After that, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson hit the stage to sing their new Christmas song called, "Baby It’s Cold Outside.” Shortly after that, we saw Carson Daly reveal that Ricky Duran of Team Blake is safe this week. So, he also advanced to the top 8. Next,recording artists Meghan Trainor and Mike Sabath hit the stage to perform their new song called, “Wave.” After that set wrapped up, Carson revealed that Katie Kadan...

If The Voice’s Shane Q was trying to get eliminated ahead of next week’s Semifinals, his rendition of “Caribbean Queen” during the Top 10 performances the evening before sure seemed like a foolproof way to do it. If he’d sung that way during the Blind Auditions, he’d never have gotten a chair turn — even from coach Kelly Clarkson, who so often seems to swivel just because “Oh, I know that song! Must! Hit! Button!”

I knew going into Tuesday’s episode that yeah, yeah, Shane had surprised us before — more than once — and avoided elimination. But I...

We just published our power rankings over the weekend, listing our reasons for ranking best to worst for the Top 10. These have possibly changed following their song choices and performances last night. Here are the songs each contender chose:

Rose Short (Team Gwen) — “God’s Country”

Meghan Trainor rides a sea of people in her new video, “Wave,” featuring Mike Sabath.

Directed by Matthew Cullen (who’s worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift) and choreographed by Charm Ladonna (Kendrick Lamar, Britney Spears, Rosalía), the clip, shot in an earthy color palette, sees an abstract dance party transform into an almost spiritual experience for Trainor. The pop star glides above the hands of hundreds of extras in a tulle dress. Sabath joins in later, wearing a choice leopard print headband.

Artist-producers Tainy and Benny Blanco have dropped the video for their slinky new track, “I Can’t Get Enough,” featuring vocals by Selena Gomez and J Balvin.

The crew first teased their new clip via Instagram in February — nestled under a cozy duvet, the Latino Gang is photographed wearing silky pajama sets, while Benny Blanco is stuffed in a teddy bear suit. The photo comes to life in the new video, which shows the fab four dancing silly across a gargantuan bed. And while the video generally boasts wholesome fare,...

Few producers had a better 2018 than Tainy, who, over the course of a remarkable eight-month stretch, helped steer three distinct, formidable projects — Cardi B, J Balvin and Bad Bunny’s “I Like It,” Balvin’s Vibras and Bad Bunny’s X100Pre — to Number One on their respective charts.

Tainy is back for more with “I Can’t Get Enough,” released on Thursday, which also includes contributions from Balvin, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. “I Can’t Get Enough” is the latest entry in a crowded field of bi- and even trilingual hits,...
