Shawn Mendes - Handwritten CD Review

Shawn Mendes is a Canadian like every other Canadian. Who first got started on Youtube.... Wait...? What? Shawn first got started by doing covers on YouTube in 2012, then he started posting up 6 second videos on Vine, in 2013 of many popular songs and got million of views in the next month. Next year, in 2014 an Artist manger, Andrew Gerlter singed Mendes to Island Records and released his first single 'Life Of The Party' in June of 2014.

I first heard of Shawn Mendes when he was announced to perform at Wonderland on The Next Star Finales in 2014. By then A LOT of girls know who he is, then there is me looking up who this teen is lol. After The Next Star finals I downloaded 'Life Of The Party, and 'Show Me' the 2 songs he performed there.

Anyway, his first full length CD, called Handwritten, came out today. With his singles, 'Life Of The Party' & 'Something Big'. 
The songs contain 12 songs (14 with deluxe). They are
Life Of The Party
Stiches
Never Be Alone
Kid In Love
I Don't Even Know Your Name
Something Big
Strings
Air (feat Astrid)
Aftertaste
CrazyA Little Too Much
This Is What It Takes
Bonus tracks
Bring It Back
Imagination 
The Weight
Life Of The PArty (acoustic) 
I give this CD a..... 5/5. The reason why is not because I am almost met him, it's because he is original and unique. Yes I know getting discovered on YouTube is what Justin Bieber started, but, what I see is that Mendes is not trying to copy anyone. The reason why I said he is unique, is because when he performs live, it's just him and his guitar.
