Sammen med blandt andre Adele, Rasmus Seebach og Ed Sheeran var Shawn Mendes én af sidste års bedst sælgende kunstnere i Danmark. 2015 blev året, hvor den 17-årige canadiske <i>boy next door</i> slog stort igennem world wide og blev den bedste eksportvare siden Justin Bieber. Mendes er med sin singer/songwriter-baserede popmusik et pænt stykke fra landsmanden Biebers lumre r&b. Det er omsvøbende, sødt og behageligt, og Shawn taler til mangt et følsomt teenagepige-hjerte, når han på "A little too much" synger <i>"You don't have to be a babe/because we're all the same"</i>.

"Toronto teen Shawn Mendes achieved a No 1 EP on iTunes the millennial way - by covering six seconds of a Justin Bieber song on the micro-video platform Vine. Once he'd acquired thousands of followers, a record deal materialised, and now, age 16, he's releasing his debut album. It's usually challenging to detect much difference between Bieber and the social-media stars who've followed him, but Mendes, to his credit, steers clear of bleached-out Bieberean R&B".

"... he can't hold the audience's attention for any longer than on Vine, relying on his puppy-dog eyes and croon to get him through a song. Cute he may be, but he has charisma that lasts no longer than a GIF, as Handwritten makes painfully clear".
