Shawn Mendes will release his new album, Wonder, on Friday, December 4th, in collaboration with Island Records.
As of now, the singer has already shared two songs and accompanying music videos from his next album. His first release, “Intro”, portrays Mendes in the video playing the piano and acts as a teaser trailer for Wonder.
Following Intro, the Canadian singer-songwriter also released his second single from the album, Wonder, also accompanied by a music video.
Shawn Mendes, born in Canada, has released three albums as of now since he first gained a following through social media application Vine in 2013. Mendes released his self-titled debut EP (2014) and his debut studio album Handwritten (2015), whose single “Stitches” reached number one in the United Kingdom and the Top 10 in the United States and Canada.
He then released his second studio album Illuminate (2016), whose singles “Treat You Better” and “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” reached the top 10 in several countries. His self-titled third studio album (2018) was supported by the lead single “In My Blood”. All three albums debuted atop the US Billboard 200.
In a statement, Mendes said of Wonder:
“It really feels like a piece of me has been written down on paper and recorded into song. I tried to be as real and as honest as I’ve ever been. It’s a world and a journey and a dream and an album I’ve been wanting to make for a really long time. I absolutely love it. Thank you for being by my side for so many years. I love you all so much.”
