Thursday night, multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes joined Coldplay on stage at their show in Munich, Germany at the Olympiastadion. Shawn joined the group to perform their hit track, “Fix You”.
The appearance comes as just last week, Shawn released the lead single from his upcoming album, “Why Why Why,” alongside a second song “Isn’t That Enough.” Both songs will appear on his newly announced self-titled album, Shawn, set for release on October 18.
Shawn also kicked off his limited run of intimate shows in Woodstock and London, performing the upcoming album in its entirety. The show provided fans with a first look at his new music in the setting where it was created. These performances will continue in cities where Shawn recorded the new album, including Nashville, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
Shawn is Mendes’ fifth studio release and draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years, following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. It represents his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, guiding listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song. Written and recorded over the course of two years, the project was crafted in diverse locations including Nosara, Costa Rica; Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, NY; Bear Creek Studio in Washington State; Darkhorse Recordings in Nashville; and Electric Lady in New York City.
The album was written & co-produced by Mendes, alongside collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath (Raye’s “My 21st Century Blues”), Nate Mercereau (Andre 3000 “New Blue Sun”), and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs co-written by GRAMMY award winning writer Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska (Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers). The record also features instrumentation from the Punch Brothers’ Chris Thile.
