Review

Shawn Mendes' debut studio album, "Handwritten," released on April 14, 2015, by Island Records, is a testament to the young Canadian singer's potential. With its infectious pop-rock sound, the album resonated deeply with his teenage fans, earning commercial success right out of the gate. Debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 119,000 album-equivalent units, Mendes joined an elite group by becoming the tenth artist to achieve this milestone before turning 18.

The album boasts memorable singles like "Stitches," which soared to the top 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and clinched the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart. The reissue, "Handwritten (Revisited)", further thrilled fans with the US top 20 hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer," along with live recordings and new tracks. While critical reception has been mixed, with comments about its songwriting and production, the emotional impact of tracks like "Life of the Party" and "Stitches" reveals Mendes' undeniable talent. Overall, "Handwritten" marks a promising start for Mendes, positioning him as a notable force in the pop-rock landscape. - Erika
