Discussing his tour with HERO, Mendes shares, “You know how your parents say treat people the way you want to be treated? I perform my show how I’d like to see one.” Mendes continues, “So that’s kind of how I look at it, when I go to a show I would feel overwhelmed with production and dancers, and it would be too much for me to see, I love to see an artist when they’re just singing, I get chills when I see someone performing.”
Shawn Mendes on His Album Illuminate
Talking about his new album, Illiuminate, Mendes explains, “In the second album a lot of the songs are a little more produced, that’s because I’ve had a lot of creative control and been like, ‘This is what I want to do, these are the kind of movements I want to make…'”
The 18-year-old singer adds, “You just want to have more involvement with something that you put your heart into. So with this new album, I made sure I was writing every single song, was there for the production on every single song, I didn’t want it to be released without me being 100% sure about it.” Read more on Hero-Magazine.com.
