‘Wonder’ is the follow-up to Mendes’ self-titled third album, which dropped in 2018.
In a four-star review of ‘Shawn Mendes’, NME called the album “a bright and bold new direction for the 19-year-old singer, as he leaves behind sickly choruses for brazen, guitar-ridden anthems; he sounds all the better for it.”
