Shawn Mendes

Many artists have chosen an artistic cover for their albums, and Canadian singer Shawn Mendes is following the trend with his upcoming release.

His “Shawn Mendes The Album” cover brought K-Pop vibes to my mind.  Since I’m a longtime Shawol, I was instantly reminded of SHINee‘s “Dream Girl – The Misconceptions of You” (which hit shelves in February  2013) when I saw the jacket for his May 25th project. I wonder if Shawn is a Shawol as well. It’s also slightly reminiscent of  Yong Junhyung’s “Flower” music video, which was released the same year as SHINee’s project.

Check out SHINee’s cover below:

Nonetheless, it’s great to see the abstract art style is still going strong!
