## Description

Shawn Mendes' sophomore album, Illuminate, was released in 2016 by Island Records and features the hit singles, "Treat You Better," "Mercy," and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back." The album reached the top of the Billboard 200 and has been certified double-platinum.

Review: Illuminates In All The Right Places - This album is AMAZING!!! It is very reminiscent of Nick Jonas' project from the Jonas Brothers era, Nick Jonas and the Administration. It is filled with acoustic and bluesy vibes, topped off with a kind of vulnerability not normally seen in a young 18 year old man. While Handwritten was full of positive songs and upbeat rhythms, Illuminate is definitely filled with more Shawn. Bad Reputation, No Promises, Lights On and Hold On are all very successful attempts to show just how much growing up Shawn has done. Handwritten was his introduction to the world: a young kid breaking out with optimism and wanting to share his strength. Illuminate does exactly what the title suggests-- it shines a light on the reality: no one's life is perfect. Even though he is attractive, talented and kind, he isn't impervious to heartbreak or emotional pain. "Hold On" is about a conversation with his dad who is trying to talk Shawn through an episode of feeling vastly overwhelmed by all of the chaos of fame and success. Shawn is the anti-Bieber. His only schtick is his talent and he takes what he delivered in Handwritten and multiplies it a thousand-fold with Illuminate. He isn't strictly pop. There isn't a ton of bass or EDM laced in. It's a very mature, easy listening album that will tug at your heartstrings and restore your faith in the younger generation in terms of music. Having had his hand in every track on the album, Shawn Mendes proves he isn't here just because of his looks. He's here on pure talent and he's not going anywhere.
Review: Wonderful CD - One of my favorite albums in CD format! Overall sound quality is great and love having a physical copy.

One of my favorite albums in CD format! Overall sound quality is great and love having a physical copy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MUST BUY ALBUM
*by A***. on January 22, 2021*

The delivery with this CD was really quick. The CD case has a small crack on it on the back of the case, but it doesn’t matter because the CD itself was in perfect condition. Each album of Shawn’s has a different feel to it, and Illuminate has this amazing gospel feel that is so worth listening to. Incredible album !
