Shawn Mendes on his new album: Feels like freedom

Singer Shawn Mendes has unveiled his new album, “Wonder”. He says it feels like freedom.

“The album is like a reflection of my life right now, or rather, the past six or seven months,” Mendes shared.

“I had a great time of anxiety and fear, and I felt like I wasn’t able to make music at the peak of the year. And I think it all came from a place of fear, of people who didn’t like the music that I made, or fear of maybe not being able to make better music than I have done in the past … and it was like suffocating myself. because a songwriter, “he added.

“I just came in with the thing like, ‘hey, this is it. I introduced myself, I’m here to make music, I’m here to make art, and if it happens in the best way, it does, and if it doesn’t, then no ‘… And ironically, when I got rid of that expectation, I think I started making my favorite art I’ve ever made in my life, ”Mendes said.
