    it gets better at every listen, I can clearly see he had a growth. I really liked the production, but I wish the intro was a full song (it’s too good). the lyrics are fine, but I personally think there were better lyrics on his third album. Anyways what I expected was this, the production fills the little lacks of some lyrics. It really is great, he co-produced and co-wrote this album.it gets better at every listen, I can clearly see he had a growth.

    He took me in his world, he addressed how is it being a celebrity and in love and being far from home. Ofc he’s going to talk about love bc which artist really doesn’t? I mean you must be a really annoying and boring person if you still are alone and complain about other’s life. He lives with camila and that has become his daily reality so it’s pretty obvious he’s going to talk about it. Anyways there are other themes on the album so if you can’t catch them maybe you need to listen again to it.

    incredible album, Shawn grew a lot in his composition. my favorite is to teach me to love that has a more animated footprint, look at the stars that was written for your fans and call my friends shows something personal and true. I must admit that it was difficult to choose the best ones, I hope you enjoy the album as much as I do.

    I honestly really liked this new album. I loved it there are several songs that make you dance and sing at the top of your lungs, I definitely loved it. Although there are some songs that don't make you feel "magic", for that alone I give it a nine.

    It is one of his best albums, it is the beginning of his process of finding himself. The songs are very good and catchy, they have very good rhythms and he went out of his comfort zone, he let the music flow without judging it and brought us this jewel.

    he really needs to evolve as a singer. the album isn't bad at all. it's actually good. but shawn is releasing similar songs. he needs to try somethinf different lyrically and sonically!

    Los ritmos que se utilizaron son totalmente distintos a los que esta acostumbrado Shawn. La letra por igual, dejo mostrar su interior, la verdad todo el disco es arte

    While the slower songs are fine, sometimes sincere, the growth on Wonder is all evident on the livelier tunes, all of which point toward a more adventurous twenties for Shawn Mendes.

    While “Wonder” is at times overambitious and overwrought, it does feel like the last stop on a particular journey. Mendes can’t sound much bigger than this without going full Adele, so what might come next is wide open.

    Mendes spends nearly every minute bowled over by the power of love. It’s nice to see his cup overflow so bountifully, but the near-constant awe quickly grows tiresome, especially when conveyed through clichés like, “Your body’s like an ocean, I’m devoted to explore you” and, “You’re my sunlight on a rainy day.”
