The Soulful Performer: Shawn Mendes - I
Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes
- Such an overwhelmingly soulful performer one cannot possibly ignore his talent; he invades the musical scene effortlessly and his craftsmanship is uniquely obvious. Shawn Mendes is a pure Canadian talent; so pure that it apparently needs more maturation, controllability, and guidance. His performances are way too consuming to watch because of the subsequent repetition and interaction; initially when he enters the stage or starts a performance, he's all subtle and composed, thrilled to take off, yet as the performance proceeds Shawn Mendes accelerates his interaction with the song as if it were relating and leading directly to his inner depth; he converts his songs into myths, bringing the lyrics to life by putting his soul in the performances; it shows through his appearance as well: through his beautiful out-of-breath tones, his messy hair, his sweat, and his exhaustively exhilarated voice. The audience, already excited, is even more energized through Mendes' heartily performances. People sing with him, after him, memorize his lyrics perfectly, and they can't help but assist him throughout the show out of love and admiration.
- Shawn Mendes started through mini videos of song covers he uploaded to the internet. These tiny clips spread awareness of his voice and made people - teenagers and adults - recognize his talent. His evolutionary phase as an artist is fantastic, due to his complete involvement in his musical work, through composing the lyrics of the songs for instance, plus the fact that he independently taught himself how to play a guitar; he's been successfully able to convey his own style of music. His humble start has managed to gather him fans all over the world, and as he continues with making music his fans grow vastly and fastly all over the continents.
- One definitely realises the beautiful difference between Mendes' first 2015 album "Handwritten" and the fascinating second 2016 album "Illuminate". "Illuminate" surely embodies its songs, for each song bursts with extreme light and sensation. Going from hit songs such as: imagination, aftertaste, kid in love, the weight, never be alone and a little too much, which still are relatable in 2017, to the super hits: mercy, lights on, there's nothing holdin' me back, treat you better, bad reputation, don't be a fool and three empty words, Shawn Mendes has fantastically, wonderfully matured.
- At 17, he has chosen to tackle a very serious issue through his artistry, which is 'domestic violence', preferring not to star completely in the video clip and intelligently connecting his hit song "Treat You Better" to the issue; through the song he matches the lyrics to the state of being abused due to a wrong decision: "I know I can treat you better than he can, and any girl like you deserves a gentleman". The protagonist of the music video, considering his prejudiced position being in love with the abused female yet unable to force her to leave the abuser, states that he is willing to give her the love that she's missing: "I'll stop time for you, the second you say you'd like me to". Shawn Mendes cooperated with Teddy Geiger and Scott Harris to eventually come up with the simple yet stunning lyrics of "Treat You Better".
