Our Take

Shawn Mendes, the Canadian heartthrob who started off by posting covers on Vine, has released his debut album "Handwritten." The album is a polished mix of pop and acoustic ballads that showcase Mendes' undeniable charm and vocal talent.

From the infectious hooks of tracks like "Life of the Party" to the vulnerability in songs like "Stitches," Mendes proves he's more than just a pretty face. Each track sits comfortably within the confines of modern pop, but there's a sincerity in Mendes' delivery that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "Ruin," a soulful ballad that sees Mendes flexing his vocal muscles in a way we haven't seen before. The stripped-back production allows Mendes' voice to shine, capturing the listener's attention from the very first note.

However, "Handwritten" isn't without its flaws. Some tracks veer too close to generic pop territory, lacking the individuality that Mendes is capable of. Additionally, the production at times feels overproduced, drowning out Mendes' natural talent.

Overall, "Handwritten" is a promising debut from Shawn Mendes. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it showcases Mendes' potential as a pop star with staying power. Keep an eye on this one - he's only just getting started.
