Shawn Mendes To Release New Album More Than 2 Years After Taking Mental Health Hiatus
HuffPost
The three-time Grammy nominee's fifth studio album will be his first since calling off a world tour in 2022.
After a two-year hiatus to prioritize his mental health, Shawn Mendes is returning to the spotlight with new music.
Mendes confirmed on Wednesday that he’ll release his fifth studio album, “Shawn,” on Oct. 18. Two singles from the album, “Why Why Why” and “Isn’t That Enough,” will drop Aug. 8, which happens to be the three-time Grammy nominee’s 26th birthday.
“Music really can be medicine,” Mendes wrote on Instagram. “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.”
“Honestly thank god for my friends and family,” he continued. “Life can be brutal but having a small group of people you deeply trust to walk you through makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have made it through the last couple years let alone make an album without you.”
In press notes, “Shawn” is billed as Mendes’ “most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date.” The singer’s announcement was accompanied by a video trailer in which he croons an acoustic version of “Isn’t That Enough” by a campfire.
