Review: Record breaking, chart topping, Juno-winning and Grammy-nominated pop singer-songwriter and top Canadian talent Shawn Mendes is back with a new self titled album, which is his fifth overall. When artists opt for the self-titled LP it often reflects a more honest and personal approach and that is the case here as Shawn, which was written and recorded over the past two years, is him at his most intimate. It was recorded across many sessions and locations which also helps add different perspectives and influences and was done with a small group of collaborators including Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Eddie Benjamin, Nate Mercereau, Ethan Gruska, Amy Allen and Chris Thile.
