Sorcerer 12,508 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 "The pop heartthrob’s lovestruck fourth album comes across like your friend who just got into a relationship and won’t shut up about it: You’re happy for them and also tremendously bored." "Mendes’ elevation of Cabello as his eternal muse is surely meant to be romantic, but it comes across as naive—and vaguely terrifying. It also reflects the biggest problem of Wonder: What’s stacked up to be the love of a lifetime feels a bit empty in presentation. All-consuming passion is reduced to to familiar imagery of popping bottles, dancing on rooftops, and fantasizing about marriage; the sex scene is always safely off-screen." "In a sea of wannabe Biebers and sad Brits with guitars, Mendes has always been the nice guy, the boy next door who also could be an Abercrombie model. But he has yet to make a statement that truly sets him apart... Near the end of Wonder, Mendes refers to “the boy who’s really underneath/all the scars and insecurities.” Who is that?" 5.0/10 https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/shawn-mendes-wonder/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastertoyo 22,734 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The fact that the title track makes it sound like he’s never touched Camila in his entire life makes this even more weird please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It's true...the album is so annoying cuz it feels like the whole thing is one long song about Camilla and how much he loves her, is crazy for her, misses her, dreams of her, etc There's no depth to it...very flat one note perspective and honestly didn't see growth as an artist. Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylucifer 5,162 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 good that's what you get when you collab with Justin 'The Life of a Showgirl' is out on Oct 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImMatt 1,794 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Love the positivity and support shown to other artists on this site. It's great to see Personally I think the album is good. The first half is definitely stronger than the second, but it's definitely more mature musically and it's his best album so far by quite a way.

flyaway 15,350 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So far I'm bored...I know he tried to give it some soul, but it feels like he embelished a box full of nothing. He's quite talented, but he could make music that really accentuates those qualities. The content is not interesting at all. And that song with Beiber is so boring.
